Which video it imports
Paste the post's link. A post with one video imports that video. A post with
several imports the FIRST one, unless the link names another: add
/video/<n> to pick the Nth, counted from 1 across all of the post's media,
photos included. https://x.com/user/status/123/video/2 is the second. A
/photo/<n> link is read as the post itself, so it imports the first video.
Links from x.com and twitter.com both work, with or without www.,
mobile. or a tracking query like ?s=20. Anything that is not a post link
is refused before the download starts.
Quality caps the short side
Quality limits the SHORT side of the video, so 1080 keeps a 1080x1920 vertical post at full size. When the post has no rendition at the cap, the next one down is taken.
Cookies are a live session, and they travel
Public posts need no cookies. A post X only shows to signed-in viewers (sensitive media, a protected account) needs an X session: export cookies from a throwaway X account in Netscape format, paste them into a text node and wire it to Cookies. Whatever you wire is stored with the workflow, goes out with a shared link, and is frozen into a published Blueprint. Sign that account out when you are done so the session stops working.
