This footage was initially filmed for use as a promo video for "Just Like Starting Over" but for some reason it wasn`t used, in fact there was no official promo for the song.
The footage was ultimately used for the promo video of "Woman" in 1981.
The "Woman" promo was mastered on Jan 20, 1981 and first shown on the US TV program 20/20 in 1981
and contained approx 1:20 mins worth of Central Park footage.
When the promo was officially released on the "Lennon Legend" DVD it contained approx 1:32 of Central Park footage
and this version is what has been used on various DVD collections ever since though now it is in HD quality.

Notes: Brief outtake footage (1:08) of John & Yoko walking through Central Park was first shown in the 1988 film
"Imagine: John Lennon" and again in the 2010 PBS TV documentary "American Masters: LennoNYC".
Some more footage (approx 1:41 mins) then turned up on a HMC DVD in 2016 (in their newly made promo for "Just Like Starting Over").
In 2020 as part of John`s 80th birthday celebration Sky TV showed this outtake footage as part of a pop up tv channel and
then almost 8 minutes w/timecode, though unfortunately in fairly bad quality, came into collectors hands.
Since then the full 8:05 mins of outtakes in pristine quality taken from the master tapes are now with some collectors but these have not been bootlegged.
