Which quality to choose
Save the highest quality. Details such as signs, text overlays and faces matter when footage is used for reference.
On a desktop, always grab the top quality. Storage is cheap and large monitors reveal compression.
Where the files go on Mac
Files go to the Downloads folder (in the Dock or Finder sidebar). Press ⌥ ⌘ L in Safari to open the downloads list.
MP4 files open in QuickTime Player and import straight into iMovie, Final Cut Pro or Keynote.
Documentary audio as MP3
Speeches and statements can be saved as MP3 for transcription or listening on the go.
Drop the MP3 into the Music app to add it to your library, or use the M4A for GarageBand and Logic projects without re-encoding.
Download responsibly
Verify footage before sharing it: check the original poster, date and context. Download to preserve, not to spread misinformation.
