A credits log template for video editors: nine fields per clip, from source link to license and permission, and B-ROLL fills seven of them for you.
B-ROLL writes a .credits.txt next to every download plus a running credits.txt per folder: title, creator, channel, link, upload date and license.
Download a YouTube playlist, or a channel once channel downloads are on, into one folder as MP4, ProRes, DNxHR or audio, with a credits file per video.
Keep a local copy of every upload: YouTube Studio saves MP4 at 720p or 360p, Google Takeout exports all videos, and B-ROLL downloads the whole channel.
Install B-ROLL on Windows 10 or 11, let the first launch fetch yt-dlp, ffmpeg and Deno, then paste a YouTube link and find the file in Downloads.
