Are these sentences correct:

1) My Dad found some footage of me not able to walk.

2) My Dad found some footage of me not yet able to walk.

The footage was of a period when I was not able to walk.

Gratefully,
Navi.
 
I think you need "being" before "able to walk".
 
They are correct but ambiguous.
 
They are correct but seem to have different meanings. The second might be of you as a very small child who has not taken his first step. The first can refer to any age when injury or disease interfered with walking.
 
If you're talking about the period of your childhood when you had not yet learnt to walk, I would say something like "My father found some footage of me from before I could walk".
