Download Wistia videos

  1. right-click on the playing video, select Copy link

  3. load http://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/ + video ID in your browser
  4. look for "type":"original" in the page source and copy the URL from the next line e.g. "url":"http://embed.wistia.com/deliveries/129720d1762175bcd8e06dcab926ec76ad38ff00.bin"

@berroz1 Thank you that worked. One thing I'd like is if it worked for video #3 & #6 here: https://www.shipyard.fyi/ (specifically Quin Gable & Rebecca Louise)... the rest worked.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad the extension works for you! Regarding that website, the problem seems that the videos are loaded in a popup overlay and so aren't detected. I'll see what I can do about that.

I created a little website based on this that gets all asset urls, which fit my use case better. Maybe its helpful for some as well: https://jannispaul.github.io/wisita-url-fetcher/
