video footage

Recorded moving images

Video footage is recorded moving images, especially raw or unedited material.

The term originated with film measured in feet, but now applies to any video recording regardless of format: security footage, news footage, footage from the scene.

Footage often implies source material that may be edited, archived, or used as evidence: Police reviewed footage from nearby cameras.
