How to download videos from Bluesky
Quick answer
Open the Bluesky post, open FileSnatch, and click Download. It saves the post's original video as an MP4.
The problem
Bluesky has no download button, and its videos are streamed in pieces, so right-click saving doesn't work.
How FileSnatch helps
- FileSnatch reads the post and saves its original video file.
- Streamed versions are joined into one MP4 when that's all there is.
- Pictures from the post are in the Images tab.
