Download YouTube Videos for Editing — Clean MP4 Source Files

Choose Video (MP4) for a clean, watermark-free file you can drop straight onto your timeline in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, or CapCut. If you only need the sound — an interview answer, a voiceover, or a music cue — switch the toggle to Audio (MP3) and skip importing the full video just to detach the track.

Only download videos you own or have explicit permission to use, and always respect copyright and YouTube's Terms of Service. AudioPod is built for editors repurposing their own uploads or footage they have the rights to — not for re-publishing other people's content. Using someone else's video in your edit without a license or a valid fair-use basis can be infringement, so when in doubt, get permission or license the footage.

No. You get the clean source file with no added watermark, banner, or overlay, so you don't have to crop or mask around anything before it goes on your timeline. It all runs in your browser — there's nothing to install and no extension to add.

Yes. After downloading, a free AudioPod account lets you transcribe the video to text with timecodes — ideal for paper-editing long interviews or finding an exact soundbite — and export SRT or VTT subtitle files to burn captions into your cut.

After downloading, use AudioPod's stem splitter to isolate vocals from instruments. That lets you remove or duck background music behind an interview, recover a clean dialogue track, or lift an instrumental bed for your edit — all from the same file you just downloaded.

With no account at all you get up to 5 downloads a day for videos up to 10 minutes. Sign up for a free account and you unlock unlimited downloads, longer videos, and priority processing — useful when you're pulling a batch of source clips on deadline.
