    Media Actions drop down menu highlighting Edit
  4. Select the Flavors tab.
  5. In the table that appears, each line represents an available flavor type:
    • Flavors that have Status = READY can be downloaded by selecting Flavor Actions, then Download.
    • Flavors that have Status = NOT_APPLICABLE or blank (no value) do not exist. These flavors can be processed manually by selecting Flavor Actions, then Convert.
    • Notes:
      • Converting new flavors is generally not necessary and is an option if you need to download different sizes of media in Kaltura.
      • After you select Convert, it will take some time for the new Flavor to be processed.
      • You may need to reload the page and revisit the Flavors tab to download the new Flavor.
      • In some cases, the Source flavor will not be available due to flavor optimization. This is expected, and attempts to Convert the Source flavor will fail.

Video Owners can also download content directly from the Edit player or enable the download option for all authenticated viewers for specific assets as well.
