How to Download Videos From YouTube to PC

October 27, 2020 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

YouTube has been the leading streaming platform for a very long time. Be it interesting, funny, music, or educational videos; YouTube has a vast database that offers an endless supply of excellent videos. Moreover, it also curtails the needs of artists as they can easily make a YouTube channel to showcase their skills. Lots of potential artists have gained fame by sticking to YouTube and gaining a huge following.

While YouTube may be the one-stop-shop for online video, it has certain limits. You may want to download a video from the platform but will get confused as there is no official option that lets you do that. However, you can use a few tips and tricks if you want to download your favorite videos from YouTube so that you can enjoy them offline. So, without further ado, let’s look at how to download videos from YouTube to PC.

Choose a YouTube Downloader

If you want to download YouTube videos to PC, the first thing that you have to do is to choose a YouTube downloader. As there are plenty of downloaders out there, you have to make sure that you choose one that is the safest to use and easily lets you download any video in any format. Mp3 Studio is one of the best platforms to download from youtube to pc, as it is totally safe and easy to use.

 

Choose the Video That You Want to Download

Now that you have selected the download that you want to use, the next step is choosing the video that you want to download. Simply open YouTube, search for your video, and start playing it. Once you open the video on a browser, you can easily copy the link from the link bar.

 

Go to the YouTube Downloader

After you have copied the link of the video that you want to download, you should open the YouTube downloader. If you are using a good downloader, the website will be very easy to use, and the interface will not be too cramped. Most of these downloader websites are ad-supported, which can be very confusing. You should not click on any of these ads and calmly close them. On the main website, you should look for a bar where you will be asked to paste the link of the video that you want to download. As you have already copied the video link, you should paste it in the search bar. Click the start button so that the downloader can start analyzing the video.

After the video has been successfully analyzed, you will be provided with a couple of links with different resolution, file size, and format. You should download the file and format that you want your video in. After you click the download button, the downloading will start. You can choose where you want your file to be saved or change the destination afterward. After the download has successfully completed, you can watch your video on the PC without the internet.

Must Have Home Security

August 13, 2019 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Must Have Home Security

The home is somewhere that you should always feel safe. Home security technology has come on leaps and bounds in recent times, which means that it is now easy to make your home much safer. Even if you live in a safe neighborhood with little to no crime, investing in this security technology can provide peace of mind and protection in case anything were to happen. Anyone who has been a victim to theft or any other kind of crime knows just how traumatic this can be, but this technology can both deter and stop criminals in their tracks. Here are a few of the best pieces of home security technology to invest in.

 

Video Doorbell

Video doorbells are rising in popularity, and it is easy to see why. This allows you to see and even speak to the person outside of your home before opening the door so that you can refuse entry if you do not know who they are. Additionally, these video doorbells allow you to answer even if you are away from home on a device like a smartphone which can deter criminals if they thought the property was vacant.

 

Smart Lock

Keys have been the traditional way to enter a home for many years, but they are not the safest system. A smart lock can electronically control the lock on the front door, which can be locked and unlocked from a smartphone. This means that you do not have to worry about whether or not you have locked the door after you have left, you do not have to hide a spare key outside (incredibly dangerous) and you do not have to remember to pick up a key when you leave home.

 

CCTV Camera

Outdoor security cameras from places like Swann are a smart purchase because they can deter criminals from trying to gain access to the property. Image quality is much higher these days, and many have night vision capability, so criminals are aware that they could easily be identified if caught on these cameras. This also means that if they do try and break in, then you could identify, catch, and convict the criminal(s).

 

Intruder Alarms

Intruder alarms remain one of the most effective home security products to purchase. These are highly effective because anyone who enters who does not know the keycode will set off the alarm which will scare them off, alert the neighbors and any passers-by and alert the local authorities. An intruder will not stick around if there is a loud alarm going off, so this is a good last line of defense.

 

Every homeowner needs to think about home security, even if they live in a safe neighborhood. It is important that you are able to protect your home, family, and possessions with the above products being the best items to purchase – when used together they will create a highly secure environment which will give you peace of mind. The home needs to be a place where you feel safe and relaxed, and improving home security is one of the best ways to do this.

How to Manage and Organize Travel Video Footage

March 26, 2019 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Recording videos when you travel can be a great way to document your trip, and truly capture the emotion of it. However by the time you’re done you’re likely to end up with lots of video files of the footage that you’ve captured, and the unenviable task of sorting through it all.

 

If you want to manage and organize your travel video footage more effectively, there are a few steps that you should take:

 

1) Come up with an organizational structure

The first thing you should do is come up with an organization structure that includes a directory structure and filename convention.

 

Both should be designed to make it easier for you to find the travel video footage that you need. For example a simple folder structure would be the Trip Name as the parent folder, and specific locations that you visited or days as subfolders.

 

The most common filename convention is year-month-date, but you can add location or other details to that if you prefer. Try to keep the chronological aspect of it, as it will make sorting it a lot easier in the long run.

 

2) Start organizing early

It helps if you start to organize your travel video footage early. In particular, you can skim through the video footage that you’ve recorded whenever you have any downtime, and delete any clips that you definitely won’t want to keep.

 

If your camera allows it, you may want to set it to save videos using the filename convention to save yourself from having to rename files in bulk later.

 

3) Add tags to video footage

One of the most useful tools available to you to organize your video files are tags. The information that you can add in the form of tags will be far more than any folder or filename structure can provide, making it perfect for travel videos.

 

That being said adding tags to videos can be time-consuming and you may not want to add tags to all your videos. Instead you can prioritize the videos that you want to tag based on which travel videos you feel require additional information.

 

4) Convert and backup videos

As a rule it is best to keep your travel videos in the original format and quality they were recorded in. However that isn’t always possible due to storage concerns or if you only need them in a specific format.

 

For example you may want to convert MOV to AVI to make it easier for further editing. So, you can do it easily with Movavi Video Converter.

 

In any case you should decide on a format, and also decide how you want to backup any important travel videos. That can be a challenge due to the space that they occupy, but at very least you should try to keep a backup on an external hard drive – just in case.

 

All said and done the steps above should help you to organize and manage your travel video footage more effectively. In the long run it will make it far easier for you to find the videos that you need quickly, and help ensure that you don’t accidentally ‘lose’ any important videos either.

‘Must Have’ Gear to Pack for Recording Impressive Travel Videos

January 3, 2019 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

'Must Have' Gear to Pack for Recording Impressive Travel Videos

Are you thinking of going all out and recording an impressive travel video on your next trip? If you are then it is important that you pack everything you need – and there are some pieces of gear that you simply can’t do without.

 

The most essential pieces of gear that you must have if you want to record impressive travel videos are:

 

  • Video camera

While essential, the type of video camera that you use is honestly up to you – and you should use what you already have rather than investing in a new camera initially. That being said if you are looking to buy a new camera anyway, you should focus on one that can capture high quality videos and is light – such as some of the mirrorless cameras.

 

  • Portable tripod stand

Tripod stands are arguably the best way to keep your camera steady while recording, which will make your travel videos look much more professional. Nowadays there are numerous portable travel options, and your focus should be on making sure it has the right type of head.

 

  • External microphone

Technically this is optional – but if you intend to record audio alongside your travel video, you really can’t do without it. In general a portable shotgun microphone is a good choice, though if you intend to record audio commentary then a lavalier or handheld microphone may be better.

 

  • Camera light

Another somewhat optional yet important piece of gear is a camera light. Relying on the built-in flash on most cameras is impractical, and so you will want to have a camera light of some kind with you in case the lighting conditions are poor. The exact type of light that you choose is up to you, but you should base it on what you feel the conditions will be like.

 

  • Spare batteries

Always bring spare batteries with you as you’ll go through them quickly on your trip. On top of that you may not always have the luxury of charging the batteries as soon as they run dry, so having spares is crucial.

 

  • Additional storage

Just as with batteries, having extra storage is always a good thing when recording travel videos. Ideally you should bring a few extra SD or microSD cards that you can swap in when needed, and an external hard drive that you can transfer the videos to whenever is convenient.

 

While these are the most important pieces of gear, there are others that you should pack as well – such as the lenses you want to use, a cleaning kit, and possibly a laptop or tablet. If you do pack a laptop or tablet, you will be able to convert your videos to the format that you want to store them in and for example could use Online Video Converter (www.videoconverter.com) for that.

 

All said and done if you pack the gear listed above you should have a much easier time recording impressive travel videos. As a final item you should try to pack it all in a sturdy and waterproof bag – so that it doesn’t get damaged while you’re on your trip.

Capturing the Best Video With A Gorillapod

April 21, 2015 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Gorillapod photo disclaimer_zpsaa1cb05b.jpg
If you have read my blog for any period of time you know that I try and use Youtube at times for the reviews that I do of products. Some work out well and others have been challenging, especially when I have to hold the camera myself.

Recently I had heard about a site called DadGifts.com and I was checking out the site and came across an item called the GorrillaPod. While this may not be a new item for some of you, it was for me and it looked completely amazing.

Dadgifts.com

I ordered the GorillaPod and quickly received the item. What I came to find quickly was that even though it was small, it is so sturdy and durable. This small stand can be bent in any direction you can think of to hold your camera steady no matter what you were trying to do.

This was perfect for me to use when I was trying to take my video and I found that it will hold my lighter-weight as well as heavier camera as well. I was surprised that it did hold the Samsung NX1 as this is a heavier camera, but it did, and remained stable throughout.

I can’t say enough amazing things about the GorillaPod, as it worked like a charm, and with how small it was, I could easily take it with me no matter where I wanted to go!

All of this being said I also wanted to say that I was really impressed with DadGifts.com as the array of products was so vast and the quality was tangible. There were so many items in their catalog that I would love to put on my wish list for fathers day or any other giftelated holiday coming up. If you have never heard of them before, check them out!

 

Win some Great stuff

Starting Tuesday April 21st, we’re running a bad family photo contest called Best of the Worst. It goes through April 28, and there’s a good size prize pile.
