Частая ошибка:
Learners often use *footages* as a plural. In modern English, *footage* is almost always uncountable, even when talking about clips from different sources. Say *some footage* or *pieces of footage*, not *footages*. Learners also sometimes use *footage* to mean a finished movie; it usually means raw or source video, not the final edited film.
