What is my next step here? (please don't tell me about another video editing program - iMovie for iPad has worked so beautifully for me - I really think the way to go is to find out a way to get those downloaded videos into an iMovie-for-iPad-compatible format. So now I am left with a way to download videos that cannot be put into iMovie. Of COURSE I can't! Because only after signing up for the YouTube Premium free trial did I remember that YouTube videos are generally NOT in a file format that is recognized by iMovie, and that that now-defunct website didn't only download them - it converted them into a format that iMovie accepted. Well now my song is done and it's time to get the videos into iMovie and edit them and I could not figure out how to do this today, and then I did some research, and I wound up biting the bullet and signing up for a (3-month) YouTube Premium free trial thinking, okay, now I'll be able to download these videos, WHICH I CAN -and them get them into iMovie for iPad - ***WHICH I CANNOT***. I can't remember the name of the site at this moment, but a few months ago I was anticipating needing to do this again and I found the site and it does not do this anymore (I guess because of copyright problems? I don't know why.

I have done this sort of thing before and it worked great BUT I swear, a few years ago, I was able to use a web site where I'd put in the url of the YouTube video and voila it would wind up on my iPad and ready to stick into iMovie beautifully for editing.
