Editing videos with Claude: Internet Archive offers 17M+ films and 14M audio recordings for free

A musician fed his song to Claude and talked out a music video for "Meat Proxy" built entirely from public domain footage.
The quoted post shares a reusable workflow: Internet Archive offers a free, keyless API with 10,000+ Prelinger public domain stock films, 187,000 78rpm records, and 300,000+ live concert recordings. Give Claude the URL and instruct it to search the Prelinger and 78rpm collections whenever it needs archival b-roll or period music — clips that work especially well for artsy tech ads.
