fixed : how to download a video from LinkedIn

Posted on by

Question :
I was scrolling through some LinkedIn pages as I came across an instructional video on a subject I am interested in. Since I want to be able to view this video offline also, I tried to download it directly from LinkedIn, but simple methods for doing that don’t work, as it is an embedded video.

Is there any way to download this video from LinkedIn to my Mac ?

Answer :
Yes, there is.
To download a video from LinkedIn (or X/Twitter, TikTok, Pinterest or Vimeo), do this :
– first, if it’s an video that has been reposted, click back to the original post
– then, click on the More (3 dots) button in the upper right corner of the post
– from the pulldown-menu, click “Copy link to post”
– open the online video downloader : LinkedIn Video Downloader
– then, paste the URL(that is on your ividsible clipboard) in the fetch field and click DOWNLOAD
– wait a few moments and the video will appear on screen (on the ExpertsPHP.com website)
– then, click the “Download Video File” button and you will find the video in your Downloads folder on your Mac

That’s it !
enjoy 😉

NOTE : this same method works for embedded videos from X/Twitter, Tiktok, Pinterest and Vimeo also. You just need to copy the URL of the original post and use the corresponding online video downloader :
X (Twitter) Video Downloader
TikTok Video Downloader
Pinterest Video Downloader
Vimeo Video Downloader

tip : quickly cut-out part of a picture in OSX

Question :

I have a nice picture I want to use in a presentation, but I don’t want the entire picture, just part of it.

Is there an easy way to cut the desired piece out ?

…even if I don’t have Photoshop ?

Answer :

Even if you don’t have Photoshop, cutting out part of a picture for (re)use in PowerPoint, Keynote, Word, Pages, your website, LinkedIn, FaceBook, etc. is very easy on your Mac :

1- open the picture in Preview app (usually that would only require you to double-click on the picture’s icon)

2- click on the Image-button (Edit button)

3- in the Editing-toolbar that appears, click on the Image-button (Selection button)

4- now the + (Plus sign) appears, so : click on one corner of the part of the picture you want to select and drag to the opposite corner [ you can do this rather ‘roughly’ ]

5- then the selection area appears [ normally a rectangle with dots in the corners and on the middle of the side ] ; drag the dots so, that the selection area exactly fits the part of the picture that you want to take out

6- then press the ‘Copy key-combo’ (CMD + C)

7- now choose “New From Clipboard” from the “File”-menu, or press the ‘New key-combo’ (CMD + N), and you will get a new window with only your ‘cut-out part’ in it

8- if that looks as you envisioned it, choose “Save” from the “File”-menu, or press the ‘Save key-combo’ (CMD + S), and save the cut-out picture as a JPEG or PNG (or TIFF)
