I'm looking for an HD 1080 video clip (at least 10 seconds) of waves breaking on a tropical beach - like http://www.oceanfootage.com/video_clips/BG23_004 - to use at the beginning of a bossa nova band's demo video. Anything on YouTube is garbage. Anything available from stock footage providers is $200+ (more than I'm willing to pay). PowerDirector came with a SINGLE sample video clip. Are other stock video clips available from CyberLink for a reasonable price ($10s)? Are there any sources of good quality HD stock video clips at reasonable prices ($10s)? This is proving to be a LOT harder than it should be.

I was going to suggest Bottled Video (http://www.bottledvideo.com) - they have great high quality HD stock footage, and it's all completely free to download and use.

I just checked and they're having some issues right now. Looks like they're expanding their site and most videos are 'coming soon'. You may want to check them out, or at least bookmark them for future reference. PowerDirector 10 Ultra
