Thanks for requesting more information on the movies and frame sets for our "iClips" for the Solar Eclipse 2017. Before you download material from this folder, please sign up (and stay on) our mailing list - http://bit.ly/Eclipse2017 - so that we can send you additional information and news about any updates. Only subscribers who choose "planetarium educators" will get these links and updates.

Here are the links to folders with larger-format (unwatermarked) versions of the eclipse clips: (NOTE - do not share these links - see below)

This folder contains WAV and M4A audio tracks, plain text script with time codes, subtitle and QuickTime text format files for the eclipse animations.

FULLDOME:

• ../2K_frames/ 2000x2000 JPG framesets
• ../fisheye/ 1000x1000 and 2000x2000 fisheye H.264 MP4; 720x720 fisheye H.264 MP4 (watermarked and with audio)
• ../warped/ 1920x1080 warped Photo-JPEG QT; 1920x1080 warped H.264 MP4; 1920x1080 warped H.264 QT with audio + QT-text caption layer

FULLDOME PASSWORD PROTECTED:

• ../4K_frames/ 4000x4000 JPG framesets - You can download the zipped folders from this directory or send a hard drive with return fedex label to get the full frame sets
• ../4K_movies/ 4000x4000 Photo-JPEG QuickTime MOV animations - VERY large (~4 GB each)

FLATSCREEN:

• ../flatscreen/ 1920x1080 and 1280x720 flatscreen animations (1280 sample size watermarked and with audio)

We plan to update and improve these animations, so please note the "Last Modified" dates of the media files.

Please feel free to share the link to the signup list and to the low-resolution previews. Please do NOT distribute the high-resolution links because I do want to keep track of which institutions use the animations, for metrics purposes. (These are funded by NASA so we are giving the clips away free BUT we need to show usage metrics to keep getting more funding for more future clips!!)

RULES OF THE ROAD for USING THESE CLIPS
You may freely use one or more of these clips in a show that you make for your own theater. You may charge for tickets for the show you create. You may share your show with other institutions but only if you do not charge them for it AND if you provide us the contact information for those other institutions (and a copy of the show for our archive - we will not distribute it without your permission). If you wish to make a full show to be distributed for a fee, you must work with us. We would like to have links to your show web pages and an estimated number of visitors who see these clips between now and August 21.
