Here is a packet of freebie FX from the DVcreatorsFX labs… a snowy blizzard!

Just add a windy sound effect from Soundtrack Pro and you’ll want to huddle around the fire.

These animations are each a minute long and include an alpha channel so you can drag it right into Final Cut Pro (or Motion) over your video to add swirling snowflakes to any scene.

They utilize OpenGL and CoreVideo so they play in real time on most recent systems!

We’ve included versions for many video formats:

blizzard DV-NTSC
blizzard DV-NTSC 16:9

This site is offering free stock footage clips that are royalty free. They’re in AVI format, so if you’re using Quicktime, you’ll have to convert, but the quality will remain:

When moving footage is not available, don’t forget about still photos! You can animate still photos with motion and scale, crop them, apply filters (like sepia, B & W, color tint) and sometimes stills can fill empty spots in your timeline as well or even better than a video clip. Also, many stock photos are automatically HD res!

Here is a monster list of sites with free photos:
