Build an asset inventory
List the returned video, audio, image, caption, gallery, document, or playlist-related items before moving anything into a project.
The Insts workbench for NBC News inventories the assets returned for a public item and distinguishes source delivery from any selected merge, remux, or conversion needed for a project-compatible file.
Public or authorized media only. No DRM or access-control bypass.
The QR contains a clean Insts result link, not an expiring media file. It works for video, audio, images, galleries, documents and playlists.
Checking video, audio and quality options
Paste a public NBC News URL. This page explains supported link families and shows only formats returned for the submitted public link.
List the returned video, audio, image, caption, gallery, document, or playlist-related items before moving anything into a project.
Mark whether a file is delivered directly, combined from returned tracks, remuxed for compatibility, or converted under the selected public policy.
Retain the public source reference and observed file properties for internal organization without turning the downloader into a permanent copy of the source library.
No recent links stored on this device.
Paste a public or otherwise authorized item URL and verify the detected service, item identity, and returned asset families before preparing files.
Choose the source or processed output that matches the editing, archive, transcription, review, or accessibility task, noting container and track differences.
Download within the temporary retention window, document lawful provenance in the project, and avoid republishing material without the rights required by the creator and platform.
Popular services stay in a stable order. The full catalog groups every supported link type under one clear service family.

A creator may value editability, audio separation, captions, original image dimensions, or a broadly playable proxy differently. Insts exposes the available evidence so that one use case does not become a universal quality ranking.
The workbench cannot acquire rights, open private accounts, satisfy login gates, defeat DRM, recover deleted posts, ignore regional controls, or promise stable upstream endpoints. Permission and project provenance remain the user's responsibility.

Domain presentation and URL routing stay independent.
Start with the common questions. If a public source is not recognized, send it to the automated source check below.
A source file is returned directly by the platform route. A prepared output can combine tracks, change a container, or perform another disclosed compatibility step before temporary delivery.
Only if that format is returned and its codec, frame rate, audio arrangement, storage cost, and editor support fit the project. Resolution alone is not an editing guarantee.
No. The service prepares temporary files and signed links. Long-term lawful storage, naming, rights records, and backups belong in the user's own controlled project system.
Insts will test the service. If it is not ready, demand is registered without storing the post path in telemetry.
