Understanding Kajabi’s Video Storage
What Is Kajabi?
First off, let’s chat a bit about what Kajabi is. If you’re not familiar, it’s an all-in-one platform designed to help creators like you launch, market, and sell online courses or digital products. It’s super handy! But, as you would guess, with all these features comes a bit of complexity, especially when it comes to downloading your videos.
When you upload a video to Kajabi, it’s stored on their servers, which makes it seamlessly accessible when you’re marketing content to your audience. However, this also complicates things a bit if you ever want or need to download those videos directly.
So before we dive into the nitty-gritty of downloading, just know that understanding Kajabi’s structure is your first step. Every platform has its quirks, and getting familiar with them can save you a ton of time down the road!
Locating Your Video
Where Are Your Videos Stored?
To actually download a video, the first thing you need to do is locate it. That’s right! Videos in Kajabi are typically stored in various areas depending on how you’ve organized your content. You might find them in a course, in a marketing campaign, or within your library—so keep your eyes peeled!
If you’re like me and sometimes forget where you uploaded things, just take a moment to brainstorm where you might have added the video. Was it a promotional piece or part of a lesson? Pinpointing this makes it much easier from the get-go!
Once you think you know where to look, hop into your Kajabi dashboard, and navigate accordingly. This could be a bit of guesswork, but trust me, finding the right section is totally worth it.
Accessing The Video Download Options
Selecting the Right Video
Now that you’ve located your precious video, the next step is to select it. Depending on your layout and the options Kajabi provides, this is usually found in your course settings or the media library. Look for the video you want to download, and give it a good click!
At this point, if you’re smiling because you’re so close to downloading that video—good! That feeling is totally justified. But keep in mind that not all videos might give you the download option directly, especially if they were uploaded from an external source or configured by someone else.
If you hit a snag, don’t worry! Just check the settings to see if you have the necessary permissions. Sometimes, unlocking those necessary permissions can be a straightforward click away.
Downloading The Video
Finding the Download Option
Alright, you’ve done the legwork, and now we’re on the cusp of actually downloading! Usually, after clicking on your video, you should see some options pop up. Look for something that says “Download” or “Export.”
Clicking on that should bring up a dialogue box or redirect you to a page where you can confirm your download. Remember, patience is key; sometimes, depending on the size of the video, it may take a moment or two.
If you don’t see any download options, check again. Sometimes the platform plays coy and hides this under some dropdown menus, so don’t just settle for “not available.” Make sure you look around that interface; it just might be lurking in plain sight!
Post-Download Considerations
Managing Your Downloaded Videos
Once you have successfully downloaded your video, you might think that’s the end of the story. Well, not quite! It’s important to manage your videos properly. First, find a good spot on your computer or whichever device you’re using to store the video. A dedicated folder for Kajabi assets could be super helpful.
Also, take a moment to rename the file so it’s easier to find later. You know how it goes—“Video_1.mp4” doesn’t give you much insight into what that video’s about come next week, right?
Lastly, keep in mind you might want to back it up, especially if it’s part of a larger project. Whether you use cloud storage or an external hard drive, it never hurts to have a backup just in case!
