Under the Hood
Smart Download Options
Choose your quality level, pick between Video (MP4) or Audio Only (MP3), and optionally grab subtitles — all auto-configured so your downloads work perfectly in your editor of choice.
Editor Compatibility Built In
One checkbox for Premiere Pro, one for DaVinci Resolve. Nabbr auto-enables FFmpeg conversion with the right codec settings so every download drops straight into your timeline — no re-encoding required.
About This Project
Every video editor knows the pain: you download a video and it won't import into Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. Wrong codec, wrong container, corrupted timeline. You end up spending more time converting files than actually editing.
Nabbr solves this at the source. It downloads videos from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and hundreds of other platforms via yt-dlp — then automatically converts them to the perfect format for your editing software. Select Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve compatibility with a single checkbox, and every download comes out timeline-ready.
Beyond format fixing, Nabbr supports bulk downloads with queue management, quality selection from best available to bandwidth-friendly, audio-only extraction (MP3), and subtitle downloads. The FFmpeg-powered conversion pipeline runs automatically in the background — no manual steps between download and edit.
Built with Python and PyQt5, Nabbr packages everything into a standalone desktop application for Windows and macOS. No command-line knowledge required, no dependency management, no configuration files. Just paste a URL and hit download.
