How much is craftsy unlimited? How much does craftsy unlimited cost? Before we go digging into the Pros, Cons and who would benefit most from Craftsy Unlimited, here is the current pricing for Craftsy Unlimited: How much does craftsy cost? Promising that classes will be for lifetime then closing it on everyone who trusted it. I bought so many classes based in that trust! I expect a refund! I also just paid for another year, also bought an annual subs for my cousin? Where is my money gone,.
I just joined last week. Was really looking formula to learning so much. I wonder if any refunds will be given? Hi Liz! Same thing happened to the art school I worked for- it was actually a decent place until it was sold to a large corporation and went public. From there it was driven into the ground. This is sad news—I wonder if Great Courses will be shutting down too?
Great Courses has a download option — I only have 2 but downloaded both to my computer right at the start. The interface between the two is very, very limited. I doubt the same thing will happen to Great Courses. What is going to become of my classes that I purchased over the years? Also what about my subscription for the year? They appeared in space as one large cube, made up of many individuals. A Star Trek meme! The Borge was a doomsday, alien culture, destroying life across the universe… mostly used by Women, our destructive, capitalist, profit over all mysogynist culture is what destroyed Craftsy, then Bluprint.
I checked on the blueprint page and it says that you need to update your app and there will be an an arrow pointing down on each episode which lets you download to watch offline. I was able to do the update on my phone but would rather watch on my computer. You have the option of requesting a refund or contesting the charge with your credit card company. But not surprised. They angered people so much. This makes me so sad.
I just bought a subscription. Awful news. What about all my classes? Figure out a way to do that before you pull it all off the net!! I downloaded the Bluprint App on my phone and you can download each lesson of a class to your phone as MP4 files. I then transferred those to my PC. I also still have 9 credits to use. Did they give a date when they are closing? My question too Sarah, and thank you for your directions Kathy Azzari.
I just downloaded the first welcome segment of one of my classes which was a 21 minute video. Seemed to be working until after about 10 minutes I got a red exclamation mark. Have to use my phone as there is NO space on my tablet.. But the Apps use the device and not the extra memory card by default which I suspect is why the Download of the first 20 minutes of 30 courses has failed.
There is NOT enough room, or memory to complete the download! This is going to be a long and tedious process if I can get it to work at all! You need to reseach it for your phone. A bit fiddly at first but if you do it a few times it is very straightforward until you forget and then have to relearn.
It has been amazingly useful when out and about to be able to film or take photos on phone then plug in lead and usb stick and then hand it to someone for them to take photos or whateer.
I hope this helps. I have tried to download to phone smart and then copy to pc. Please share the program you used, and how to instructions, please. I can get them to my phone but will need to move them off asap as I do not have storage capability for 60 classes. Those of us who were instructors saw that writing on the wall.
It seems like a smash and grab. I want permanent access to all the classes I paid for. Nothing less. Even if they let us download the classes, how big will the downloaded files be?? I have spent hundreds of dollars on knitting classes and knitting patterns. Am I going to have to buy a big hard drive to download and store all my purchases??
NBC Universal can kiss my ass! The rich get richer by stepping on those beneath them; not having any empathy or care for whose lives they either destroy or harm. So darn typical. Now, how about allowing those with lifetime access to their purchases to download their libraries?
Using a MAC, I created a folder on my external hard drive. I went into my Library and clicked on an individual class. The class and number comes up in the browser which I then highlighted and dragged and dropped into The external folder.
Marilyn, I a have a MAC laptop and need to purchase an external drive as I have loads of classes i have not even watched. Marilyn, thanks for the work around…. I have a MAC and an external drive and will give this a shot. Exactly, no way the videos can be downloaded. Copying the link just takes you back to their site to open. When that gets shutdown, so do the videos. All classes should be able to be downloaded — we paid for them, and I certainly hope the instructors retain their intellectual property.
I am upset. I just renewed my membership last week. I have several classes that I purchased as well as some coupons I havent used yet. We should be able to download our classes. Oh no! I hope this is a false alarm! I hope we keep access. Did they just pay you guys a one time fee for each class or did you get paid based on student number, or something else? I personally use Skillshare for classes.
They do have some junk on there, but the good classes made by good instructors are excellent. So, it is worth it to me to sometimes have to weed thru the crappy content to get to the worthwhile courses.
Why has this happened? Is it Greed? How can I save the content I have paid for? I feel devastated. NBC lost out on revenue from covering the Olympics and Universal theme parks have been closed. That is bad news—they recently charged me for my year subscription I did not get a notice until I saw my credit card statement.
Not happy with this. Craftsy was awesome. I am also frustrated with classes that I still have coupons for. Blueprint was not nearly as good as craftsy. Since this is all online, what has blueprint done with my money? I hope a refund is involved. I purchased around classes and I should be able to download on my computer. The contract was I pay and you give me life time access. I am not dead yet! I guess we should have figured something was up when there are sales after sales being offered.
I have a lot of classes I have never had time to watch and patterns I never downloaded all purchased from craftsy. So now I can never watch them? Totally unfair. You are paying for access. Sorry, …I clicked on the show all instead of the one hiding my archived. Yes, a class action suit, and soon. I am not a lawyer, but it seems to me that someone should move quickly on this, as if the company declares bankruptcy, they may be protected from a suit. They can often help with difficult consumer situations, especially those that impact many citizens.
Patterns can be downloaded, classes, not so much. I am heartsick. I suggest this site to everyone!! Some I just go back to for reminders how to do something specific.
This is such sad news! I hope we can still get access to our classes but am not holding my breath. Sorry this is coming to an end. What will happen to purchased patterns and classes? This is so terrible. I bought so many classes. The classes were so good too. Way more in depth than Creativebug. I hope there is a way to keep the ones we bought to watch in the future. They also do not think of the people that are using this service.
I thought the older classes were longer and better content. I also have classes that I have bought. I would like to be able to download mine also. Will we get a refund for our renewal? I have over 70 classes forever classes I have purchased over the years on Craftsy. Will I still have access to them or will I lose them all along with the money I spent on them? I have SO many life time classes I bought and tons of patterns. I also just paid my annual fee.
This is heart breaking. Generally a lifetime warranty is not the lifetime of the owner but the lifetime of the product. How do you record on a separate device while running on the laptop?
I have 30 classes and that seems daunting. Not really surprised. It went downhill after NBC bought out Craftsy. Hard to find stuff. Seemed like less new content too. Hopefully we can download our stuff.
Spent a lot of money and have heard nothing from company. Thanks for nothing Craftsy. At least let us have what we paid for! They should have left Crafts as it was. Not only are we losing our forever classes. But also access to the files we purchased. Thanks Big Brother. I also wonder if it will ruin people for future classes. Once bitten, twice shy now on that front. I have classes.
Jean can you please tell me how to go about downloading the classes and saving them please and thank you in advance. I really hope there is a way to keep the classes I bought from Craftsy. Angry like so many others. This is BS. I just paid for a one year subscription 3 weeks ago!
Is there a way to download the classes you own? Sad day. I just bought the year deal a month ago too. Perhaps if we all create a facebook petition and send to NBC we can save this platform???
Seriously, is anyone surprised? When NBCU bought Craftsy they made it known to instructors that they were most interested in syndicating the content. They kept up the pretense of buy forever classes to keep the Craftsy faithful engaged.
But they switched to infotainment content that was eye rolling, and the show they put on NBC was cringe worthy. Then they started peeling back benefits to members. Though if you pay for a class, it should be yours forever and not be deleted from your account.
But hey I can buy it again for twice as much as what I paid for it! They should have left craftsy alone, but greed wins over yet again. Where do you find the files on your phone to transfer them? Check to see if you can view archived classes. They should be there. That second sentence was a reply to someone else. If those of us that purchased forever classes are no longer able to access them online the I would expect Bluprint to arrange for us all to be able to download our classes directly from them.
When we bought them they clearly said they were ours to own forever and as such we invested in them. If they had continued to create classes like the original Craftsy classes full of great in depth specialized content from experts in the field, they would have been more successful. I really disliked the change to Bluprint. What about the teachers and their contracts?
Rethink how you are planning to walk away with our dollars and classes in your pockets. What happens to all the classes I purchased, many on sale, that I have not yet even looked at!! When that Bluprint purchase happened I knew, I KNEW that something like this would happen, especially what what they did to so many instructors who had material loaded on the Craftsy platform. NBC is insane — closing this down in the middle of everyone being confined at home looking for projects etc.
Never again will I buy an online class from anyone. I too spend. Something,UST be done! Boy, do I feel like an idiot. I never dreamed they would do this to me. I really enjoyed this when it was Craftsy and I trusted Bluprint.
Like everyone else, I want to know, what happens to all our purchased classes? When Craftsy was a craft class library, I purchase a lot of classes. This is disgraceful. NBC is doing a disservice to the many quilters that have purchased these. Their mistake was when they broke Crafts down, then raised prices for everything. But like many corporations, they chose the Go Big way of doing things.
What will happen to the Craftsy classes I bought with lifetime access? Will I be sent dvds or flash drives of those classes? Why now, when so many are stuck at home and crafting is on the rise? Our local sewing shops are selling more machines now in a week than they sell in one month. How do we contact NBCUniversal about what we have paid for and was suppose to have unlimited access? One can only hope they allow us to download our classes. I am so angry. Only thing I can think of doing now is to download all the class materials I can.
I made sure materials with patterns attached are downloaded first. I too have a huge class library and patterns. Supposedly, we own the classes we purchased so we should be able to download them!
Can we all go in together and buy them out? Make it non profit association where people can be members to access the content. We can elect officers instead of CEO. I have experience with being a president of a few non-profit association. I have started one for a community band in my town. I would need volunteers to be,o with legal, website know how, financials, etc. I like the sound of that. Best suggestion yet. There should be lots of talent in this pool.
I would chip in as well. I am very upset as well as i did no know till yesterday and did not get a chance to buy any of the forever video classes i liked. I am happy to help as well this platform need to carry on. I could help with this. If nbc is shutting blueprint down anyway, they could just hand it over to another co. In any case, I have a lot of time on my hands.. This is what I think should and could be done.
It is far beyond my knowledge. What would it take to get you started along this line. I am so upset by this! Why did we not get notification! I just recently renewed my subscription for another year! What happens to our lifetime classes? I am really bummed out right now! I will love to keep the access in some manner!
I kept my side of the bargain, they should keep their side too. This is a huge disappointment! What about our subscription? Are you going to be refunding our money? This thread is for discussion only. I did not subscribe to Blueprint after the switch over from Craftsy. I figured that I had already paid enough for the classes in the first place.
Now when I go to access my classes, I find that I have to subscribe to watch them. I have one of Jinny Beyers kits along with the video lessons. It is useless to me now unless I pay more money to subscribe. Where was the communication in regards to any of these changes? We should have been notified of any changes to access our purchases.
I see you are closing. I just purchased a year membership a couple of weeks ago! Do I get my money back. Certainly you knew as you were still selling subscriptions. What a scam! Email BP directly. We all have. The ethical thing to do would be to allow all of us to download our classes to keep on our hard drives. Very disappointing, to say the least.
This is unbelievable! I never want to pay for online classes again if this is how they treat customers and instructors.
Just goes to show you take something successful, Craftsy, and change the model—Blueprint, changing the formula, and it will bite you. Now, refund all that money back to the subscribers.
I have life time classes too… I really feel cheated, I know I am not in the boat alone. I feel you owe us the opportunity to get our classes. We paid for them. You can buy a 1 month, 1 yr or perpetual license. I decided to buy the one year license after making sure that it would download and that I could actually play the videos. They are now in MP4 format and all nicely stored in one folder. Go to allavsoft. Tags: bluprint , craftsy , video. June 3, , PM.
Another software program that helps record these classes is Audials. I presume the would, too. Toni Southern California If I keep sewing long enough, will they make their own dinner? Comment Post Cancel. Monique commented. You also need an. On my Mac, QuickTime does that. The software downloaded from the link in the email you get from Allavsoft is the personalised version which works for downloading Bluprint videos.
Allavsoft have to manually set up the software to your Bluprint account, and not surprisingly they are very busy at the moment, so expect to wait some hours before being able to download, install, and use the software. I worried whether I would use up my download limit, but I think if you did that while trying to sort out a version that worked you would have a valid reason for demanding more.
I chose 50 of my classes to download GB. I downloaded to my hard disk, and backed up on an external disk about 3 hours. Allavsoft downloaded the files for each lesson into this folder. There are 3 files for each lesson : the. Each file is labelled with the class number, lesson number, and lesson title.
So on my Mac in this folder after the download there was a list of files sorted by class number and lesson number. If you are using Windows, I suggest you set up a special folder instead of downloading to your desktop. When downloading — use the time remaining, at the bottom of the download window, only as a very general guide. It jumps to and fro — it went up to 6 days at one point for me. If you change your mind and want to download some more classes, the Sewmodernbags instructions tell you how to download a single class also see next section below.
You can also download a single lesson, as each lesson has a different url. The deadline for that passed before I knew it could be possible to download. See the Comments for more options for Windows. Hmm — sorting files into 50 classes. Perhaps it would be less trouble overall to download one class at a time, rather than all in one go. That is a possible option as each class has its own url.
