| Google changed the Youtube API and most editions of download apps | released prior to that date no longer work, and their update is | questionable. | There's a new version of DownloadHelper that works. Unfortunately, I had to install a new version of FF to install the new DH. It only runs on FF36+. Now I'll have to get more extensions. I need one to get my activity indicator back. And with any luck I'll find one to completely block the address/url bar functioning as a search input. That's *really* irritating. And I'd like to get the Stop button back... and get rid of that triple bar button that opens the menu... Every version of FF breaks things. I'd been fine with v 24 until now. |

I just use them to perfect my Photoshop skills, and then discard them. bull****. there are plenty of freely available images where one can perfect photoshop skills without jumping through hoops to get them. or you could even use your own images. OMG My pacemaker is needed. I agree with nospam's comment. -- PeterN |

Someone wrote: Many photos in Flickr are copyrighted and can only be saved with this sort of thing. Hmmm. I just looked at half a dozen copyrighted photos on Flickr and all were downloadable via Flickr's ordinary method--click the icon a choose the size. Not saying this applies to all copyrighted photos on Flickr, but it obviously isn't the case that no copyrighted photo can be downloaded. I avoid this issue altogether by posting my photos https://www.flickr.com/photos/primeval/ under a Creative Commons license. Want one for non-commercial use? Help yourself. The Encyclopedia of Life and the Maryland Biodiversity Project, both not-for-profits, have harvested several hundred of my photos from Flickr for scientific use. I get e-mails from educators and students from K through post-doc telling me how they used my photos. Want to print one of my photos and hang it on your wall? E-mail me and I'll put a high-res TIFF in my Dropbox public folder for you. Yet I still manage to sell a few photos every year for publication. Requests come out of the blue; I don't promote my photos, I just show them. I have in the past, and still do like a lot of your work. -- PeterN |

Peter I have been using the free verison of Jing. https://www.techsmith.com/jing.html It takes screenshots and screen videos. I use it to do tutorials on a software program. I find it far easier and better to use than the Snipping Tool that is part of Windows (7). I have no experience in copying video clips. Try Jing for free and see how it works. The only limitation of Jing is that the free version creates a .png, but I have Photoshop and add text to the screen shots. I then save the file as a .jpg. I tried several programs before settling on Jing. I tested the Techsmith ''Snagit'' (the successor to 'Jing') and this captures the video clips quite well. Many thanks to all. |
