I should have documented the setup: my phone on the shelf that sits over the stovetop, with a can of tomatoes weighing it down. Aimed all the track lights on that spot to try to knock down shadows and it sort of worked.
That Animoto site is pretty cool. If I were doing these for a blog etc. I would consider paying for it. I think the pro version gives you some control over dissolves etc. I did one segment (chopping strawberries) using the time-lapse function on the phone, but the other time-lapse bits in there, I did a screen recording using the MacOS, start playing the regular speed video, then used the slider to "scrub" it at about 2x speed. Then I uploaded the screen grab rather than the original video. Music is stock.
I do not know the MacOS world well at all.......
Could you have not taken the video, transferred the image file to your Mac and then directly edited it?
I still use Real Player quite a bit to download videos. Do not use it for anything else. Easiest to use for me. Then again this computer is a Win 7 PC.
Occasionally I'll pull the audio from music vids using an old version of switchfile on my XP music puter.
i always thought real player sounded great seems i remember it being very aggressive tho
Really? Must be disabled on Mac Ah I was trying to use VLC. I still think I should have been able to get it somehow; was even prowling thru the source files but struck out and it was like 1 a.m. THANK YOU for doing that. Yeah it became one of those projects that the parents do the heavy lifting on; Charlie's been down with a cold since Friday. I went to Walmart yesterday and got a covid test to make sure he could go back to class but he's still under the covers.
Real Player...talk about back in the day... Could you use QuickTime to do a video screen capture? I've done that before and you don't even have to record the whole screen. I think you can save the video capture to different file formats. IIRC VLC will do the same.

Now to teach you to fish... You can right-click (Apple command-click?) on the embedded video and choose Inspect Element or View Source. You will see it uses an HTML Video tag. The Video tag itself has an attribute called SRC (source file for the video) which is the URL I posted as a link.
I prowled thru "inspect element" for an hour but couldn't locate it. Of course it was right there in the Source but that is always the harder option. Usually.
So in searching the source for MP4, I found this https://d2m23yiuv18ohn.cloudfront.net/Video/SDt7jOwYZ44OjbELqMH0Dg/336886919_360x360_F15.mp4 which is correct except for the backslashes. Deleted those and got the file.
Oh, and holy crap. Inspect, search mp4, it's right there. Man, I was punchy last night. The interesting thing to me is that I usually go to the "sources" tab and look for photos I need, that usually is less of a needle in a haystack when there's a lot of images on a page. Not this time!

I tried a couple of screen capture tools but it wanted to use the microphone audio and not the video audio. Probably a workaround for that.
THANK YOU
They don't tell you until you're done that you can't download it...
Happy to help.

FWIW, I was able to download it with Real Player. I put it up but took it down when I saw Richard had already done it.

Can anyone download this video without paying? I don't know if it's necessary for Charlie's class, his teacher might be savvy, but I have a feeling the site might be blocked and would rather just send the video on a memory stick...

Anybody know anything about 'Pulse Secure' or 'Secure Pulse' or whatever it is? I need to install it to work on a client's project, and it just will not install. Our IT company worked on it for over an hour with no luck. Thanks! c.
It isn't easy to determine the exact URL of a picture on smartphones. Therefore posting a link can easily go wrong. Safari on iOS has a dialog appearing when you tapp the image longer... "Show Image". This should get you to the real image Url.
Yeah, Ohmsen, you're sorta right. If you're using an iPhone and you see an image on a Web page that you want to post here, you keep holding your finger on the image until a list of options pops up. One of the options is "Share." Click on that and you should be able to see an option to open the image in a browser.
In my previous answer I was assuming (mistakenly) that you were sending the pic from a desktop. If the photo is on your iPhone, select it from your photo library by touching it. You should see towards the top of the screen, above the enlarged image, the option to send it as an iCloud link. If you choose that option, you should be able to send it in a text image or email to yourself. Once you receive the image, you should be able to copy the iCloud URL and use that URL to post/embed the image in a message on RP Forum.
AFAICT, you need to associate the image with a URL in order to post/embed it in a RP post. You can't upload the image directly from your phone.
