16 sites with copyright-free video footage for iMovie projects
Finding free footage to include in your iMovie projects is easy, but finding footage that students are actually allowed to use, is free, in HD quality and doesn’t require registration can be another story. Here is a list of websites that I regularly tell my students to use to download quality video footage from.

Tools

Privacy-focused utilities I've built to help with teaching and administrative tasks.

All tools

I built this to quickly create QR codes for my presentations and classroom materials.
Resource Library
How I keep track of all the educational resources I find online.
Flashcard Maker
A simple way to create printable flashcards for my students.
NEW
Image Converter
I use this to prepare images for my newsletter, including photos taken with iPhone and iPad.
Prompt Masker
My tool for cleaning AI prompts of student data before sending them to the cloud.
Report Checker
How I automate checking my school reports for common errors and consistency.
Report Writer
My AI assistant to help me draft personalised student reports faster.
Text Differentiator
I built this to quickly adjust the reading age of texts for my EAL students.

Why I code

Coding is my intellectual playground. It's where I solve problems that matter to me and create digital tools that I need.

I like the challenge

I find the problem-solving behind coding interesting and rewarding.

I prefer tailored software

I love crafting solutions that work exactly how I want them, tailored to my specific needs.

I like relying on my own tools

I don't like relying on systems that may one day disappear. These tools are built to last.

Why I share my work

I share these tools because it forces me to think deeper. Building something for yourself is easy, but making a tool that others can use is a much more interesting challenge. I build these for me and my colleagues, but I share them because they might help you too.

Privacy Matters

I don't think free tools should come at the cost of your data. Everything here processes locally on your device—your data never leaves your computer.

Fast & Offline

Not everyone has a stable connection or a budget for AI. Once loaded, these tools work entirely offline and provide instant results.

Free

Teachers already spend too much out of their own pockets. This is a personal project I share freely, without tracking or hidden costs. For now, I have no plans to open-source the code.
