The iPhone and Android Vine app are the hottest video sharing platforms of the recent world. Consider it as Twitter for video.  Allow its user to take a maximum of 6 seconds worth of video and posting it to Vine, Facebook, or Twitter. It is fascinating to see that it has grown very fast since its release about a year ago. It is believed to be a hit partially because of Twitter’s purchase of the app.

Downloading videos from Vine

At present there is no feature in the Vine app which allows you to download a video from Vine. You also cannot view Vine videos on your computer unless they are posted to an outside website such as Facebook or Twitter. If it is a video, it will show up in the camera roll of your iPhone or Android and you can share it from there. But if it is not and is neither posted anywhere but on the Vine app, there is no current way to download it. Remember that to download Vine videos you will have to post the video to Facebook or Twitter or another site. Once it is uploaded, grab the Chrome extension FVD Video Downloader or something similar. Go to where the video is embedded and download the video by using the extension.

Best Vine clips

There are many places on the internet where will find the best Vine clips or videos. Facebook has a Funniest Vine Videos page that is updated on a regular basis. The Vine app also features videos like “Editor’s Picks” and “Popular Now”. Go for a Google search for the best Vine clips and you’ll find dozens of compilations of videos. As of now, there isn’t really a way to rank the videos overall by views, etc. like they have in YouTube.
