The clips I'm looking to use are the very frequently repeated ones of Bill Clinton, e.g. wagging the finger, confessing, hugging Monica and the Monica with dress. The idea is to use them briefly as inserts in a video based on the live performance of a stand-up comic doing a humerous calypso song, called "Billy the King". BTW if you'd like to see the lyrics let me know.

Thanks for the help.
