The Reuters link is resolved by our media extractor. It asks Reuters for the list of renditions it publishes for that item, takes the best progressive one and streams it through to you as the MP4 file. Nothing is transcoded on the way, so quality is whatever Reuters encoded at. Reuters's extractor is currently flagged as unreliable upstream, so an occasional failure there is expected rather than surprising. The renditions we see from Reuters arrive as MP4. No credentials are involved anywhere in this path — neither yours nor ours.
Two ways in: the box above, or prefix the Reuters URL you are already looking at with tikt.com/:
tikt.com/https://www.example.com/path/to/media
Use the address bar or the platform's own share button — both give a URL the extractor recognises. Point it at the single item you want, not the page around it.
Paste the URL above. The extractor asks Reuters which renditions exist for that item and picks the best progressive one rather than assuming a quality.
The file arrives in the container Reuters served it in, and the extractor does not rebuild it — so what you end up with is what the uploader encoded, for better or worse.
