I understood 98% only a couple of grammatical confused words may have been my fault, as it is my 2nd language. SOUNDS DAMN GOOD ESPECIALLY FOR YOUR PRONOUNCIATION
Can you tell me what steps you’ve taken? I’ve just tried and it works even on mobile phone. You may have selected an advert for iStock videos which are chargeable and take you to another site.
If you see an icon or the word premium on them then they may be downloadable but with a water mark. All others are free without watermarks. Also, look out for adverts from paid content sites such as iStock etc. Their clips will usually open a new tab or window taking you away from the free site. Hope this helps 👍🏾
You may have clicked on an advert on one of the sites. The adverts lead you to paid clip sites. Watch out for those. Sutterstock, iStock etc. The native clips for each site are all free.
When you upload a video to RU-vid there are checks that take place to identify copyright infringement among other things. Confirmation will take place before your video is live. Hope this helps

There are a couple of ways. 1. You could insert the clip into a video editor such as Final Cut or premiere pro and use the editing options to slow down the clip. This will increase the length of the clip but be aware that it works best if there is no sound or dialogue. Slowing down too much will reduce visual quality depending on the frame rate of the clip. 2. Find an appropriate section to loop. Set start and end points on the clip and copy it on to the project enough times to your preferred length. Each method has its pros and cons and it’s effectiveness is dependent on editing skills. Hope this helps 👍🏾
On each site check the details before you download. Most are fine to download without infringement of copyright but some require attribution (mention in credits) if publishing. Most sites will require subscriptions to access content that have further restrictions.
Okay at first i thought this was sketchy and risk of copyright but it's stock vids, not what i was looking for but it gave me an idea and option so thanks!
If the video has a lightning icon at the bottom of the preview it means you have to pay for access to the video. This will remove the watermark. All others are free and have no watermarks.
Be sure you’re not clicking on the adverts that take you away to other websites that charge for content such as iStock etc. These options open a new tab or window and are not free. If you scroll below you’ll see the free videos.
