Q: hello a little idea

so if you guys wanna x100 the price one of the best sellkin rpoducts is video auto crop with ai i have easily done this many times, first you gotta trasnalte the video and based on the audio make cuts in the clips its very easy and people pay dumb money for it. if you make it so people cna add their own openai api people wouldnt need an external company so a software that can do that and give you multiple videos shorts, text titles is very powerful and local processing too so it wouldnt cost you guys very much just a thought

Q: How to Unregister or Transfer SurFast Video Downloader License to a New Device?

I need some help regarding the lifetime package for SurFast Video Downloader. Suppose I have activated it using a license on 3 of my systems, and suddenly, I want to upgrade to a new machine. How do I unregister or log out the license from the previous device? Since it allows activation on only three PCs at a time, if it remains active on the old system, I won’t be able to activate it on my new device.

Q: Help with Downloading Videos from Zoho Showtime

Hi SurFast Video Download Team, I bought SurFast Video Downloader to download videos from a course which is hosted on a membership based website and I'm the paid subscriber on that website, but I'm having trouble with videos on a website that I think uses Zoho Showtime. I found some Zoho Showtime files, like this one: 'https://static.zohocdn.com/showtime/js/Videojs_LICENSE.8c8d48e1f0a209e5694290e73cd1c.js'.

Can you please help me figure out how to download these videos? Thank you!

A: Hello ImGagan, thanks for your questions. I can't open the video link as I guess permission is needed to view it. Also, SurFast Video Downloader may not be able to download most course videos as they encrypt their videos. For the sites, please try the steps below:

Go to SurFast Video Downloader > Private.
Visit the course website and sign in to your account.
Locate the course you want to download and make sure it is playing.
Then click the Download button to see if you can grab the videos.
If you execute these steps and it doesn't download, then the website is not supported. Thanks, and I look forward to your update.

A: Hello Apassala,

Thanks very much for your suggestion. We had a plan. However, webapps are easy to be blocked and may fail to download videos from YouTube (you can see there are less online YouTube downloaders compared with before). We will still evaulate this demand. Thank you. And look forward to your review.

Q: download subtitles as .srt file?

Can I download subtitles as an .srt file? I know the subtitle and timestamps are already available on YT and I can just copy-paste them, but I specifically need them in srt format. Can you do that?

A: Hello apassala,
Thanks for your question and interest in SurFast Video Downloader.
SurFast Video Downloader offers two options for subtitle downloads:

Download subtitles as separate files. The format will be the same as the one uploaded to YouTube, which can be SRT or VTT. However, the format is not guaranteed.
You can also choose to embed the subtitles into the videos (this is not the same as burning them).
We offer free trials and you can download SurFast Video Downloader to have a try before making your decision.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

A: Hello, thanks for your question. The Clipping feature allows you to download a selected portion of a YouTube video. It will download one selected clip, not cut the video into small pieces. Additionally, it will not resize the videos. Therefore, I am not sure if this meets your needs.

We offer free trials, and you can download SurFast Video Downloader to test the Clipping feature. Thanks!

Q: Use Case to create Custom "LIVE TV" channel for our website. Pabbly/API integration?

We are looking for a way to create a feature to play select members of our directory website that do weekly Live Q&A events, and have a Prime Time programming guide for our LIVE channel of our website's TV player's channel links. We want the easiest way for members who enable this feature to share, stream directly or upload their live content without having to do too much additional work or set up. Can I set surfast up to monitor specific youtube (X, or FB) streams and collect the feed link or download to our own YT channels LIVE playlist or one created for that member. I would like to use Pabbly to automate this so anytime the members live show goes LIVE its available on our channel guide. maybe using a google sheet with an html form for the member to submit the URL for a scheduled LIVE broadcast?

A: Hello USQuailCoop, thanks for your question. SurFast Video Downloader is only a desktop video downloader. It can:
Download YouTube/Facebook/X livestream that is finished, ongoing, or upcoming. You need to paste the link manually into it.
It is not able to fetch URLs and upload the downloaded content to your YouTube channel.
This is what SurFast Video Downloader can do for you. However, I am not knowing the other platform you mentioned, therefore I am sure if you can make it. Thanks and let me know if you have any more questions.

Q: Question after purchase #2

Hi,
Thank you for the quick response to my question from January 11, 2025.
Unfortunately, there is not enough space in the comment field for my complete answer, so I'll open another question.
I have mixed up the settings for the soundtrack. My mistake - I meant changing the subtitle language. After the 2nd start of the program it now works.

About the folder: It would be nice if each download was automatically loaded in its own folder without me having to enter the destination folder manually each time. The folder could have the name of the video, for example. This would allow me to sort the files quickly and effectively, even in batch processing.

Is it possible to download the available audio tracks specifically? Unfortunately, the program only downloads the 1st audio track although the YouTube video offers several audio tracks.

A: Hello commaik,
Thanks for your further information.
1.I am glad that the first question is no longer a problem.
2.I got your idea. Create a folder to save each video by default. Thanks for your suggestion. However, I personally think this will cause some inconvenience when people would like to quickly play downloaded videos consecutively. I will submit the suggestion to the product manager for consideration and see if there is any good way.
3.For this and I just got to know that YouTube allows multiple audio tracks for one video. I have not seen such a video before. Can you please share with me some videos with multiple audio tracks? We will reasearch it and see if we can support it. If possible, please share them to us via email support@nablamind.com.
Thanks again for all your suggestion and they are helpful.

Q: Questions after the purchase

I use JDownloader so far and convert the videos in an additional program and hope that I now have an all-in-one solution? I bought the program and have a few questions about using it:
I can only use the program in full screen mode (which is very impractical with my 49” screen). In the minimized window I cannot change the size of the window and the settings menu at the bottom left is missing.
Is it possible to create a separate folder for each download within the download folder?
The option to change the audio track for a download (Youtube) is inactive. Youtube recently started offering automatic translation of the soundtrack and I was hoping that I could download it separately.
How does the registration for the private area work? Do my Youtube login details run through your servers beforehand?
Thank you very much

A: Hello,

I am sorry for the inconvenience you are experiencing. Please send us your computer and monitor information to support@nablamind.com. We will check the display issue. And by now the size of the window in minimized window can't be adjusted. I will add this feature as a suggestion to the product manager.
For the playlist download, we will create a folder to save the downloaded video. And you can manually create a download folder for each download in the download popip. Let me know if this meets your need.

Could you please provide more details on this "The option to change the audio track for a download (Youtube) is inactive“?

And for the private video downloading, we won't have access to your login information and your login information is secure.

Thanks and wait for your reply.
