I needed a new Plugin for getting YouTube videos to my Blog since my old one expired and went to a subscription service. This was the ticket. Excellent Customer Service from John Holt and does a great job on getting the video to my blog. have an issue, just leave John a message and he is on top of it. I have the PRO version and it is worth the money!

been looking for just this. many of these video scrapers just dont put the featured image in the post or have something going on that causes issues. This is simple, works easy, easy to grasp how to work it and did exactly what i wanted to scrape in videos by keywords. great stuff. give it a try 🙂
