These have been very helpful to me and I have been using them for many years and I am very grateful to Reallusions efforts with these.
I don't remember everything I have learnt in the past so I like to take a re-look at a video to remind me how to do something that I haven't done for a while and can't remember it all.
The problem I find with that is there are so many videos that it is very difficult for me to find one that I am looking for. 

So to help me find the video I have been looking for I have spent the past 3 days building an hta file that helps me to find what I am looking for. The reason I am posting this is I have started to think other people may be interested in this....or maybe even Reallusion might want it to post on their web sight somewhere? If not I would like to know its OK to publish this code for others if they want it?

Anyway, here is a demo of what it does.
So far I have all the videos in it back to where iClone7 and Crazy Talk Animator 3 started and I am working on sorting them out as shown in the images below. Then I will be adding all the videos back to where iClone6 and Crazy Talk Animator 2 started. Have the other ones 2 but it is iclone and crazy talk animator I am working on mostly.




This image just shows the file. I have made it so it works quickly and effectively.
https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/be300558-6b74-44b6-b98d-44cc.png



When I double click it the only thing that gets added into the display is what is seen here, The things in those items only get loaded into the display when the + sign gets clicked and once they get loaded into the display they stay there...at least until the file gets closed. When it gets closed and loaded again it starts by only showing what is needed . I did this so it works quickly and takes very little time to load what is needed to display. So for averything is working pretty much instantly.

So as stated, the blue lists in this image only got added to the image when the iClone + link got clicked. Now that they are loaded into the image they will just stay there but get hidden when the iClone - link gets clicked
https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/19658dff-ae70-409d-aa97-7d1d.png





Once again, the red items in this image only got added to the display when the create scenes + link got clicked
And again, once they get added they stay in the image until the file gets closed.
Just to highlight this in another way. The way this is done means not everything needs to get added to the display when the file gets loaded which would take time. Rather, it only adds the things that get clicked but once clicked they will stay there and just get hidden.

https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/12e052bf-359d-4700-b4b3-5109.png


Ultimately, the images for the uTube videos get loaded into the display only when the + signal for them gets clicked. And again, once they have been added to the display they will stay there and just get hidden when the - signal for them gets clicked.
Also, all the images get down loaded from uTube itself to get displayed here. They have not been downloaded and saved into my computer.
The primary thing is only the ones I have set within the + signal that gets clicked are the ones that get downloaded and that is the priary thing that saves time and helps things to open pretty much instantly. Obviously it depends on how many video images get displayed but I have them all pretty quick so far.

https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/bab50e5c-e638-42ef-af57-cfcc.png


And now the final thing. Click the image and the video will get loaded into another page so the links page doesn't get lost when the video opens.
https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/06b0ebc8-948c-4fa9-9313-27e0.png

This is very helpful for me to find what I am looking for but I cant be sure if anyone else might find it helpful. Just thought I would post it anyway....just in case.

Delerna, that's very useful! I think it will help a lot of people. (It will me.) Thanks for sharing.

Out of curiousity, May I ask why you do not simply download them for future reference??
Many time older videos get deleted by the  YT Channel owner( for various reasons) 

I have a Massive archive (18 gigabytes),
of youtube tutorials that have been vital to my ongoing education in my various programs like After Effects,Iclone,Cinema4D.etc

Animagic. Thanks, I will post it here soon and it doesn't take up much space on our computer.
It is pretty simple HTML coding that uses about 1000 lines in the code so far so it will be easy to adjust things by people if they have a little understanding of HTML coding

Downloading videos is something I definitely do.
However, for me there are so many reallusion videos it will take up a lot of space on my computer.
Also decided to do it this way because as I stated I think it might be something to help some other people which is something I like to do.
If you prefer to download them into your computer rather than do it like this then there is nothing wrong with that in my eyes.
And its true that some videos get removed.  However all of reallusions videos are all still there.

I do the same as Auto, (download all things iClone related) - well over 400 videos - goodness knows when I'll get to watch them all.
I can see a day coming when I'll go into ***freeze mode*** locking into a static time bubble inside which I'll hone my iClone related skills while (frozen at version 7) and insulated from threats of "the shifting sands of change" - total lockdown - windows 10 only - no windows upgrades - offline - a hermit - AND GETTING PRODUCTIVE !!!!! :w00t:

Yo, why not...
It surely would be helpfull and, so long as it's well organised, probebly make one watch tutorials more often.
Which definitely can never be wrong ;)

I personally quite impatient and watching long tutorials is not something I enjoy.
Add to that the time I have to spend *looking* for something particular.
So sure, that be awesome to have it structured the way you had it.

Yes I agree with watching long video's when I just want to see how to do something in particular.
Once I have finished adding all the video's and organizing them to make it easier to find the one I want to watch is where I will post the code here. Should be done in about a week.

However I think I am going to take it further after that. Some video's are quite long and cover many options and I am thinking I will add more links to them with the names of the parts wanted within the video and make it so the video opens automatically at the point for that particular topic.

I will probably repost the code again if I do that with enough to make it worth while.
The biggest reason I am doing this is Im getting old and finding it harder and harder to remember everything within my head.
I need to re-watch the videos more and more these days to remember how to do some things. Especially if its something I don't do regularly.
I could read instead of watch but these days I find reading words even harder than watching videos LOL.
At least I go fine with using Blender these days. But that's mainly because I am using it so often.
