These clips are generated test patterns: a bouncing ball, a spinner, a burned-in timecode and frame counter, and a synthesized soundtrack. That makes them ideal for checking playback, seeking, thumbnail extraction, transcoding, and audio sync — if the timecode on screen matches your player's clock, everything is working.
Each file lists its resolution, duration, frame rate, video and audio codec, average bitrate and exact size. Sizes are real: a file labelled 5 MB is within a few percent of 5 MB, because we encode to a target bitrate rather than picking a random clip and rounding.

Frequently asked questions
Which video format is the safest default for the web?
MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio plays natively in every browser, on iOS and Android, in smart TVs and in every editing tool. Use WebM (VP9/Opus) as a smaller second source for Chrome and Firefox, and keep MOV, MKV, AVI and WMV for testing upload and transcoding pipelines rather than playback.
Why is there a timecode burned into the picture?
So you can verify seeking and sync without special tools. Pause at any point: the on-screen TC value should match the player's position, and the frame counter lets you confirm frame-accurate extraction when you pull thumbnails or run computer-vision tests.
