How to Download HD Video From Facebook Private Group

How to download Facebook live videos from a private group in HD?

This week, while conducting my 2-day Videography And Video Editing Workshop in Singapore, I live streamed the sessions to a private Facebook group.

The video was recorded online and looks good when played back in HD 720P.

I want to download these recorded sessions to edit them into smaller chunks.

Then I discovered that there are many ways to download a private Facebook group video.

There are two problems though.

Most download methods don’t work and those that work gave me the low-resolution version in 480p.

Since there is no proper way to download the high-definition version, I created my own method.

So here is how to download a live HD video from a Facebook private group.

  1. Download, install and run Wondershare Filmora9.
  2. Select “Record PC Screen”.
  3. Turn on “System Audio”.
  4. Press the record button.
  5. Watch the 5-second countdown timer.
  6. From the internet browser, go to your Facebook private group page, and Play the video in full screen.
  7. Stop recording when the video is complete.

Okay, this is not really downloading the video, but at least I am getting a high-resolution version of the video.

If the video is 2 hours long then it will take 2 hours to record.

I have to set my computer to “Do Not Disturb” mode.

One more thing. Wondershare Filmora9 is free for 30 days.

Next, I will be editing these downloaded videos. Tune in to the next post to watch. Subscribe.

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee  @Adrian Video Image  The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles. Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8.
