How to Save Videos From Twitter

 What to Know

• Downloading Twitter videos on a PC or Mac is the easiest method. Copy the video's URL and head to DownloadTwitterVideo.com.
• Downloading videos on iOS or Android is harder and requires a third-party app like MyMedia app (iOS) or +Download (Android).

This article explains how to download Twitter videos for offline playback on iOS, Android, and a computer. The steps apply to all platforms and all devices.

How to Download Twitter Videos on Your Computer

Watching and sharing videos on Twitter is fairly easy but saving them to your computer, smartphone, or tablet is impossible on the platform so users are forced to find alternative methods of downloading their favorite Twitter clips. Downloading on a computer is by far the easiest method and doesn't require the installation of any additional software. Here's how

1. Open a web browser of your choice and go to Twitter.com. You don't need to log in.

2. Find the tweet with the video you want to save.

3. Right-click on the date of the tweet; that's the permalink.

4. A menu will appear. Select Copy link address. The web address of the tweet will now be saved to your computer's clipboard.

   

5. Go to DownloadTwitterVideo.com.

6. In the field on the website, paste the tweet's web address by right-clicking it with your mouse and selecting Paste, or press Ctrl+V on Windows, Command+V on the Mac.

7. Press Enter.

8. Two buttons will appear with options for your video download. Choose MP4 for a low-resolution version of the video; MP4 HD for a high-resolution version.

9. Right-click the new button that showed up after selecting the download type. It will say Right click here and choose 'Save link as...'

   

   These instructions use the Chrome browser, which works similarly across Windows, Mac, and Linux. Other browsers may have different labels for the same action.

How to Download Twitter Videos on Android

Unlike the computer method above, saving videos on an Android device requires an additional app, but can still be performed quickly.

1. Download the free +Download app on your Android device. This app is required for saving Twitter videos to your device for offline play.

2. Open the official Twitter app on your Android device and search for the tweet containing the video you want to share.

   You can also copy the Twitter video link from a browser; the official app isn't required.

3. Once you find it, tap the share button below the video, and then choose Share Tweet via.

4. The +Download app will appear in the list of apps you can share the video to. Tap +download from the list of apps you can share the link to. The video will download automatically.

   If the video doesn't start downloading automatically, tap the download button. You might also have to give it permission to store videos on your device; select Allow if you're asked.

   

How to Download Twitter Videos on iPhone and iPad

iPhone and iPad owners have to put in a little more work than Android owners to save videos from Twitter, and it can also be more convoluted and time-consuming.

1. Download the free MyMedia app onto your iPhone or iPad.

2. Open the official Twitter app and search for the tweet containing the video you want to save.

   You can also copy the Twitter video link from a browser; the official app isn't required.

3. Tap the tweet so its text and video fill the entire screen. Be careful not to tap any links or hashtags in the tweet.

4. Under the tweet, next to the heart icon, will be another icon that looks like an arrow shooting out of a box. Tap it.

5. Tap Share Tweet via.

6. Tap Copy Link. The URL of the tweet will now be saved to your device's clipboard.

   

7. Close the Twitter app and open the MyMedia app.

8. Tap Browser from the bottom menu.

9. In the field at the top of the app, type www.TWDown.net and tap Go. This essentially loads a website within the MyMedia app.

10. Scroll down the web page until you see a field that reads Enter Video. Tap this field so the cursor appears, then tap and briefly hold your finger on it and release to bring up the Paste option.

11. Tap Paste to paste the tweet's web address into the field.

12. Tap the Download button next to the field.

    

13. The web page will now reload and provide you with several download links for your video in a variety of sizes and resolutions. Tap the one you want to download.

14. As soon as you tap a download link, a menu will pop up. Tap Download the File, then type in a name for your saved video.

15. On the bottom menu, tap Media. You should see your saved video on this screen.

16. Tap your video's file name.

17. A new menu will pop up with a list of options. Tap Save to Camera Roll to save a copy of your Twitter video to your iOS device's Camera Roll folder. You can now open it in other apps just as you would if you had made the video yourself.

How to Add TikTok Filters and Effects

What to Know

• Effects: Tap Effects. Tap a category name to browse other options.
• Filters: Tap Filters. Choose a filter. Drag the white dot to raise and lower the intensity.
• Text: Tap Text > type message > choose font or color from the menu above the keyboard > tap A to add an outline.

The TikTok app has integrated video filters and effects that you can add after or during a recording. This article explains how to get more filters and effects on TikTok and add text to a TikTok video.

How to Add Effects to a TikTok Video

TikTok effects are used by both casual users and popular social media influencers to make their videos more engaging and entertaining. You can also add photos to your videos.

Here's how to add video effects on TikTok.

1. Tap the Plus (+) icon in the center of the bottom menu.

2. Tap the red Record icon to record a new video, or tap Upload to upload an existing clip from your device.

   Vertical videos look better on TikTok and tend to get more engagement.

3. Tap Effects from the lower menu.

   

4. The TikTok app will show you a live preview of your video with a timeline underneath it. Drag the white marker to where you would like an effect to start.

   If you want to place an effect over the entire video, leave the white marker at the beginning.

5. Available effects appear as circle icons under the timeline. Swipe left or right to browse the list. Once you find an effect you want to try, perform a long tap on its icon to apply it.

   The default effect category is Visual. To view effects from other categories, tap the category name under the circles.

   

6. Tap the Play button to play the video back. If you're not happy with the results, tap the arrow icon under the timeline to undo it.

7. Repeat with as many effects as you like in other parts of your video or even over the top of existing ones. When you're ready, tap Save.

   Usually only one TikTok effect from the Sticker category can be used per video. Other effects can be used over these type of effects though.

   

8. Make any other changes you want and tap Next.

   It's perfectly fine to tap Next without making any further changes.

9. Enter a good description, choose your hashtags and settings, and tap Post. Your TikTok video will now be live with the effects that you chose.

   

How to Add Filters to a TikTok Video

While effects on TikTok are used to create dynamic or creative visuals, TikTok filters are used to make more subtle changes and function in much the same way as photo filters on Instagram.

1. Tap the Plus (+) icon in the center of the bottom menu.

2. Tap the red Record icon to record a new video, or tap Upload to use a clip saved on your device.

   You can upload or record several bits of footage to use in your TikTok video if you like.

3. Tap Filters in the upper-right corner of the vertical menu. This menu may be hard to see if your video has a lot of white.

   

4. A variety of filters appear along the bottom of the screen. Tap one to view a live preview of it on your video. Drag the white dot to decrease or increase the intensity of the TikTok video filter. Once you have your TikTok video looking the way you want, tap it to close the Filters menu.

   To remove all applied filters and begin again, tap the icon on the left that looks like a circle with a line through it.

5. Make any other edits you want and tap Next.

6. Finish by entering the appropriate information and choosing the settings you want, then tap Post to publish your video.

   

Where’s the TikTok Sparkle Filter?

One of the trendiest filters on TikTok is the one that adds shiny sparkles over the video. This can be hard to find because it's not a filter, it's an effect, and can be found in the Effects menu. There also isn't actually an effect named Sparkle.

TikTok users who have videos with a sparkle effect likely used one or more of the following TikTok effects:

• Gold Powder
• Heart
• Rainbow
• Heart Bling
• Bling
• Streamer
• Starlight
• Fireworks
• Colorful
• Leak

All of these effects are within the Visual category.

2. Tap the red Record icon to record a new video, or tap Upload to upload an existing clip from your device.

3. From the lower menu, tap Text.

   

4. A keyboard appears in addition to a variety of format options. First, type your message.

   If you accidentally exit the text edit screen, tap your words in the video preview and tap Edit.

5. Choose your font style and color from the menu above the keyboard. Tap the A icon to add a color outline around your text. Tap the icon with the lines to choose an alignment preference.

   Adding an outline can be a great way to enhance readability both on the video and on its thumbnail.

6. Tap Done.
