devices

Every device

Windows, macOS, Android, iPhone and the browser — one account, one library.

Step 1 — Find

Search first, download second

The Discover tab searches royalty-free libraries and YouTube from inside the app, so you are not hopping between eight browser tabs looking for one shot of a coastline.

  • check_circleRoyalty-free by default. Pexels, Pixabay and Giphy — video, stills and GIFs you are allowed to use.
  • check_circleYouTube search built in, with no API key and no sign-up.
  • check_circleWatch before you commit. Click any result and it plays right there.
  • check_circleFilter by source and type — toggle platforms on and off, or narrow to video, GIF or photo.

ClickandDown Home screen — paste a video link, analyze it and choose quality and format before downloading in 4K
Step 2 — Download

Paste a link. Pick a quality. Done.

Every available resolution and format is listed for you — including the 4K and 8K streams other tools quietly skip because they cannot merge the separate video and audio tracks back together.

  • check_circleLocked posts, handled. Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and X let you sign in through a window inside the app. Your browser can stay closed.
  • check_circleAge-restricted YouTube opens without an account in most cases.
  • check_circleWhole playlists — or just the four clips out of forty that you need.
  • check_circleClear answers when something fails. If a platform blocks a video, the app says why and what to do about it.
A professional edit suite with 4K monitors — ClickandDown converts H.265 drone and phone footage to ProRes for editing
Step 3 — Convert

A real converter, not an afterthought

Drone and phone footage arrives as H.265, which most editing software chews through slowly or refuses outright. Drop the files in, pick ProRes, and get an edit-ready master. People buy separate software for this.

Before anything happens, the app reads each file and shows you what it actually is — codec, resolution, frame rate, bitrate — instead of making you guess.

Video out

ProRes (6 profiles, up to 10-bit 4444), H.264, H.265, VP9 / WebM and GIF.

Audio out

MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC and OGG, at the bitrate you choose.

Frame rate & slow motion

Change the frame rate, and switch on optical-flow interpolation to invent the in-between frames.

A queue that behaves

Pause, resume, stop one file, or drop new files in while it is still running.

Step 4 — Organise

A library that remembers

Six months from now, "that clip with the seagull" is still findable. Search, filter by source or type, sort however you like — and tag things while you still remember why they mattered.

  • check_circleIt checks the disk. File still there? You get Play and Open folder. Deleted it? You get a Re-download button.
  • check_circleTags and notes on any item, searchable later.
  • check_circleThumbnails that survive. Social platforms expire their preview images; the app quietly makes its own from the video file.
  • check_circleSynced to your account, so the same library is there on the web and on your phone.
ClickandDown Library — search, filter and sort every download, with tags, notes and thumbnails
Step 5 — Review together

Shared boards

Send one link. The other person marks the exact seconds they want — no account, no software, no "at around 2 minutes 40-ish, the bit with the boat".

Creating a shared review board in ClickandDown and copying the link to send

1 · Pick the clips, get a link

Select items from your library, name the board, and copy the link. Add a passcode or an expiry date if the material is sensitive.

2 · They open it — no account

Whoever has the link can watch and comment straight away. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.

Setting In and Out points on a board clip to mark the exact seconds wanted

3 · Set In, Set Out

They mark the real start and end of the moment. Those exact seconds carry through to the edit — nothing is guessed.

4 · Watch the cut take shape

Selected pieces sit end to end on a real time axis. Reorder, trim, split at the playhead, and play the whole assembly back.

5 · Send it to the edit

One press and the whole board lands in your desktop app or opens in Premiere Pro as a built sequence.

link

No account for guests

Whoever holds the link can open the board and start marking. Add a passcode and an expiry if it matters, and close the board when you are done.

content_cut

Exact seconds, not guesses

Set In and Set Out give you the real range. No more decoding "somewhere around the middle, after the drone shot".

sticky_note_2

Notes that don't cut

Some remarks are not a clip — "the audio peaks here". Those land as markers on the moment, without adding anything to the assembly.

An actual timeline, in the browser

Not a comment list with timestamps. A proportional time axis where the selected pieces sit end to end, so everyone can see what the cut is turning into and how long it runs.

Step 6 — Edit

Straight into Premiere Pro

The part everyone dreads — turning a page of notes into an actual sequence — is the part we automated.

One file carries the whole decision

Which videos, which seconds of each, in what order, plus every note — in a single small file.

The app fetches the footage

Open the file and every source video downloads on its own, then the real file paths are written back so nothing goes missing.

Measured in seconds, not frames

So nobody has to answer "what frame rate is the project?" — and nobody can answer it wrong.

The bridge from searching for a video to a finished Premiere Pro timeline

Search to timeline, end to end

From typing a search term to a cut sequence, without a single manual re-import.

bolt .zey

Our own format. Open it and the app downloads every source video, then writes the real file paths back into the same file — so the Premiere Pro extension knows exactly where everything lives.

The standard everybody reads. Video plus two audio tracks, properly linked so a clip moves as one piece, with the notes attached as markers.

We never ask you the frame rate

Traditional exchange formats count in frames, so they have to ask what frame rate your project runs at — and if you answer wrong, every cut lands in the wrong place.

.zey stores everything in seconds. There is no question to get wrong. The sequence adopts whatever frame rate your project already uses.

send_to_mobile Or skip the file entirely

Press Send to CLICKandDOWN on the board and it appears in your desktop app on its own, with every source video already queued to download. No file to save, no file to open, no email attachment.

One account, every screen

Download something on the desktop and it is in your library on your phone. Windows, macOS, Android, iPhone and the browser all share the same account and the same history.

How it works

Three steps to your first download. Everything else is there when you need it.

1

Paste the link

Copy any video address and drop it in. The app reads what is available in a couple of seconds.

2

Choose quality and format

Everything the source actually offers, up to 4K and 8K — or audio on its own.

3

It lands in your library

Ready to play, convert, tag, share for review, or send on to Premiere Pro.

Comparison between cluttered ad-filled online video downloaders and the clean ClickandDown interface

Why not just use a free web downloader?

Use one, by all means — for a single 720p clip they are fine. They stop being fine when you need 4K, a format your editor accepts, a note from a colleague on the exact frame, or the same file again in three months. That is the whole reason this exists.

Simple, Honest Pricing

Monthly or yearly — pick what fits. Your 20 free downloads are a one-time lifetime trial, no credit card required.
