Does the word footage mean anything to you?

from dictionary.com
footage:
An amount or length of film or videotape.
A shot or series of shots of a specified nature or subject: news footage; some good footage of the royal wedding.
Steve Irwin always uses the word "vision" instead of "footage". That seems strange to me. I just wondered if that was the normal word that Austrailins used to describe a piece of film.
