Frequently Asked Questions When Downloading YouTube Videos from Lucid Gen
Below are a few questions you might be wondering, so Lucid Gen will answer them in this article.
Why does each video have a different quality?
Depending on the original video the channel uploaded to YouTube, you can download different qualities. For example, if the YouTube video URL is in 4K quality, Lucid Gen’s tool will display the 4K quality download option.
Why download YouTube 4K and 1080P videos without sound?
Actually, YouTube separates the video and audio, and when playing, both play together so you think the sound is in the video. YouTube calls it a DASH video. MP4 360P and 720P formats will usually have sound in the video. There will be no sound if you download a 4K or 1080P YouTube video, and you must download the audio file separately.
Why does the downloaded video not have subtitles?
Because the tool only supports downloading videos, it does not support attaching subtitles to videos when downloading. You can see how to download YouTube subtitles.
