Loom video downloader

Installation

Install the dependencies through pip

pip install requests
pip install tqdm

FFmpeg

The script uses FFmpeg to merge the video and audio streams. You can download FFmpeg from here. Make sure to add FFmpeg to your PATH.

Is it possible to download a precompiled version of FFmpeg from here. Make sure to download the shared version. One you have downloaded the zip file, extract it and add the bin folder to your PATH.

Another option is to specify the path to the FFmpeg executable using the --ffmpeg_path argument. For example:

python ./loom_downloader.py --id 5bbdeb480ba84e65b1b3de8c190e2003 --ffmpeg_path "D:\Downloads\ffmpeg-master-latest-win64-gpl\bin\ffmpeg.exe"

Usage

Provide the video id as the first argument of the script. The video id is the last part of the video url. For example, in the url https://www.loom.com/share/5bbdeb480ba84e65b1b3de8c190e2003 the video id is 5bbdeb480ba84e65b1b3de8c190e2003.

python ./loom_downloader.py --id 5bbdeb480ba84e65b1b3de8c190e2003

The script will download the video in the current directory with filename {video_id}.mp4 which in this case is 5bbdeb480ba84e65b1b3de8c190e2003.mp4.
