footages

Recorded video material

Footage is most often used to characterize a particular piece of film or video: security camera footage.

A person who is present in footage is seen in a video.

The footage of an event may be all of the video that was taken.

Footage can also characterize the length of something in feet: How much footage do we have in the new house?
