Vine users have been prompted to download Vine videos that they want to store for the future. January 17 marks the day that Vine becomes Vine Camera which means that all the videos stored on the platform will be transferred to an archive.

In October, Twitter announced that Vine's mobile apps would be rebranded to Vine Camera. While the company did not exactly specify how long it would keep the videos online, users were warned to download their creations before January 17.

How to Download Vine Creations?

According to Phone Arena, users can save their Vines in three ways: through the app, through the desktop site, or through e-mail. Saving through app or desktop site allows users to choose the clips individually, but it would not allow them to save extra details such as the likes, shares, and comments the creation has received. Saving through e-mail, however, allows users to save everything.

To download a video via the Vine app, just open and click on the "Save Videos" option found at the top of the app. Vine videos will be saved on devices in MP4 format.

To download a video via the Vine website, go to the website and click on the blue button with the option "Download Your Vines." Click on "Request Your Archive" so the website can e-mail a .zip file that contains all Vine videos saved.

The Future of Vine

The end of Vine comes as Twitter has been slow to attract new users and grow its revenue. Once Vine rebrands into Vine Camera, it will allow users to record 6.5-second looping videos which they can save on their smartphones and post on Twitter afterward. Users will not be able to do any of the things that the previous Vine app offered.

Tech Worm reported that the new feature seems vague because users can opt to just use their native camera to shoot videos and upload them.
