After you sort
Every control on the bar that appears over the grid.
When it finishes, a bar appears above the grid. Here's every button, left to right.
The bar's buttons
- ⇅ Sort by
- Reorders what's already on screen, without fetching anything again: most liked, most commented, or oldest. It doesn't appear on YouTube.
- ⬇ Download all
- Saves the files of every sorted post. Before it starts it tells you how many credits it will spend. It doesn't appear on YouTube.
- ⤓ Export
- Opens the format menu: CSV, JSON, Excel, copy for Google Sheets, or copy as CSV. With more than 25 posts, the first export of each sort costs 1 credit.
- ☑ Select
- Turns on a checkbox on each post so you can pick which ones to work with. The buttons on the right change when it's on.
- ✕ Exit
- Drops the sort and puts the page back the way it was.
With select turned on
- ⬇ Download
- Saves only the files of the posts you ticked.
- 📝 Export + Scripts
- Gets the script of every ticked post and exports them with the text in an extra column. It spends credits: each video's minutes of audio, plus 1 credit for exporting more than 25 posts. If your credits don't cover it, it stops at the first video you can no longer cover and tells you. On YouTube it appears too and the script is free there: it's read off the page itself, without touching any server.
«Export + Scripts» asks for the format after getting the scripts, not before. That way picking the wrong format doesn't throw away the expensive work: you just pick again.
The buttons on each post
Hovering a post brings up as many as three buttons. All three can be switched off in Settings → «Behaviour».
- ↓
- Download that post's photos and videos.
- ♪
- Download the sound only, as
.m4a. It only appears on videos. - ⧉
- Copy the script of what's said. It only appears on videos.
The ×N badge
Every sorted post carries, in one corner, how many times over the batch's median it went. It has its own page: the outlier badge.
