Download video from a course
Hi all,
I've noticed recently that you no longer seem to have the option to download a video that is on a rise 360 course. Before, if there was a video, you could right click the video and you would get some options, including the option to download the video to your computer. Now, when you right click the video, it doesn't do anything. I've tried this on several browsers.
Is there a way to go around this?
I translate rise courses from a different language, and when they share courses with me, I need the ability to download the videos in the course to edit them/subtitle them.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello, Tiago,
We removed the option to right-click and download a video in Rise 360 to protect course authors' intellectual property. We made this change on October 29, 2019.
Read more about that change and the other new video features on our version history page.
Hello! I recently submitted a ticket about this, and the support person made an enhancement request on my behalf that I need the ability to download videos that I have uploaded to Rise. I understand not wanting learners to download videos to protect intellectual property. But if I'm editing a Rise course, with my Articulate license, it seems I should have access to this.
So, please bring this feature back for course authors.
Never mind. I mean, I guess it would be a nice feature, but I just read on another thread that I can get the videos from the .zip export file, and that is working for me!
Thank you Annie! I am editing a course from a member of staff who's since left. I was so close to re-recording an entire system walk-through before I found this. Amazing.
thanks Annie, you have just made my day by knowing this. Phew!
That's right, Annie!
Here's an easy way to access a video file you used in a Rise course:
- Export the course for Web.
- Open the zipped output folder, and you'll find another folder called "assets." All of the media files can be found inside that folder.
- Scroll through the files in the assets folder until you find the one you need. Move that video file to your desktop.
How do you export the course for web?
Hi Ricardo,
Open your course.
Click on PUBLISH in the top-right hand corner.
Select Web.
Rise will publish the course in a Web format in a ZIP file.
Adding my thanks for this workaround as well – this really helped me out today!
Yes this was so helpful and easy to do :) Thank you so very much!!!
This seems to no longer be working? I have several videos in my course, none of which appear in the Assets folder. I was so excited to find this, too.
You can "inspect" inside Rise to find the video source link:
Right-click in Rise (not on the video block)
Go to "Inspect"
Scroll down through the code until the video block that you want to extract the video from gets highlighted
Use the "Down Arrows" to get down to the video file path source you can eventually get down to the link where the video is stored. You'll see "src=" before a long link in a block that says "video" in it.
Copy that link and paste into your browser.
Right-click on the video and select "Save Video As"
I am trying to download a video from a Rise course template, "A Guide to Mentoring Others."
I have tried the steps above and am still unable to download a video. I want to reduce the length of time of the video.
Does anyone have a workaround? I'd appreciated it so I can use this with our audience.
