MediaPull is a free, open-source Windows app for video editors. Paste a YouTube or X link and download H.264 + AAC MP4 (yuv420p) that actually plays on a Premiere Pro or After Effects timeline—without the “audio only, black video” problem common with AV1/VP9-in-MP4 files. Free: 1080p H.264. MediaPull Pro ($4.99 lifetime): 4K, ProRes, and lossless audio when you need maximum quality. No account required for downloads. Client-side only—you pull media directly from the source.
