Free looping cinemagraphs, made by Clipstill as derivative works of CC0 source video, which suit menu and title-screen backgrounds. Free downloads come under Clipstill's Standard License with a required credit. Games appear on the licence page only as "incidental use", so a game where the cinemagraph is a main feature is not clearly covered.
Use in a game, unresolved: the table lists "Software, apps and video games" under the Standard License only where "the Cinemagraph is not important to the functioning of the software". A menu background arguably fits; a cinemagraph that carries gameplay or story does not clearly fit. Ask Clipstill before relying on it, hence commercial: unknown
Credit is owed on every free download, "wherever it's used". Whether an in-game credits screen satisfies that is not stated
Do not repackage: "Redistribution or resale as a Cinemagraph" is prohibited, and products sold mainly for the cinemagraph need a paid Extended License
The Standard License applies to the derived cinemagraph; the underlying CC0 source video is a separate grant, not the one to cite for these files
MP4 and GIF both appear on the free cinemagraphs page (2026-10-04); no download was opened, so confirm the format per file
