Below 3 screenshots from [#1 and #2 Caretaker] depict USS Voyager caught in a mysterious displacement wave which propels them into the Delta Quadrant.

[#1 and #2 Caretaker]

stock footage, this shot was taken from [#1 and #2 Caretaker].

The footage appears in a number of other stories e.g. [#13 Cathexis], [#33 Dreadnought], [#71 Day Of Honor], [#133 Virtuoso]. This screenshot is from the same footage. Whether all the sequence of shots is broadcast in an episode depends. It depends on the time allowed. They can be thought of as time-fillers. It is nice when there is enough time for a whole sequence of a Voyager fly-past to be shown, from the ship's approach from a distance to all of it flying over the top of the camera. There is a limited quantity of stock shots. The shots come to be familiar to the television viewers, for budgetary reasons, although in [Voyager] there is a reasonable quantity of them. The main functions of these shots is one or all of the following:
To establish the next scene as being on Voyager.
To signify the passage of time.

Both of the above simultaneously.

At the end of an episode, to show resumption of the course to the Alpha Quadrant, with the implicit knowledge that all is well.....at least until the next adventure.

Before the regular use of CGI (computer-generated images) for ship sequences became, for reasons of budgetary economy, more financially feasible (approximately late Season 3 onwards), the initial stock shots were done using the 5 foot long model constructed by Tony Meininger picture (source Poe).

Below 4 screenshots from [#1 and #2 Caretaker] show USS Voyager firing phasers - note how the energy is transmitted along the phaser array to the correct point for projecting against the target.

With nacelles folded, warp power is engaged - Voyager is just about to jump to warp speed. This footage is seen in a few other episodes e.g. [#71 Day Of Honor] and at the end of [#145 The Haunting Of Deck Twelve]. This particular screenshot is from [#1 and #2 Caretaker].

Voyager at warp speed, stock footage (this footage is from the same footage as the still below from [#15 Jetrel], although often only part of the sequence is shown, suggesting to those not watching carefully that they are not from the same sequence - this increases the number of apparently "different" clips of Voyager that can be shown

Voyager inside an asteroid whose walls give multiple reflections of Voyager and the pursued alien ship. The upper picture shows Voyager starting to fire a phaser on low energy, and the lower picture shows the beam as it riccochets.
