What Is Vimeo? An Intro to the Video Sharing Platform

A cool platform to watch and share videos

Vimeo is a video sharing platform that was launched in 2004 by a group of filmmakers. Since then, the platform has grown to over 80 million creators — most of them artists in film, animation, music and other works of art — who’ve been able to use Vimeo as a way to share and promote their work.

It differs largely from YouTube because of its “artsy” distinctiveness. That’s not to say that artists shouldn’t promote their work on YouTube, because they should if their audience is there.

It’s just that YouTube is so huge that it encompasses everything you could point a camera at. Vimeo, on the other hand, is very much known specifically for creative artistry — not casual vloggers, people who like to create tech tutorials or gamers who like to show off their video gaming skills.

What You’re Supposed to Do on Vimeo

Simply put, you upload your own creative videos for others to enjoy and browse through the available videos on the platform to watch ones from other creators. Anyone can like, comment on or share a video. You can also add any video to your Watch Later list or to a Collection you’ve made.

Because Vimeo is regarded as more of a professional network of artists, the community is much more appreciative of the content that gets shared there, resulting in kinder and more useful discussions compared to YouTube. Depending on the video (and audience), you might notice a big difference in the comments left on a video on Vimeo compared to the same one uploaded to YouTube.

Vimeo has a paid subscription model for the most active members who want more features, so the fact that members are willing to pay money to showcase their work shows just how serious they are about art and content creation. This also helps contribute to a community that is quite friendly and supportive.

Making Videos for Vimeo

Here are some of the cool features Vimeo offers to its content creators:

• Uploader: Select a video file to upload from your computer, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or Box account.
• Enhancer: Vimeo will help you add a music track from its music catalog to any of your videos, many of which are free to use.
• Collections: Add your favorite videos to your own portfolios, albums, channels or groups.
• Video School: Vimeo has a section completely dedicated to showing you tutorials and lessons on how to create the best videos.
• Music Store: Browse through all of the music tracks available that you can use with your videos and put them together using the Enhancer tool.
• Creative Commons Videos: Vimeo has a section of users’ videos that are Creative Commons licensed, meaning that there are certain ways you can use them legally for your own work.
• Video Stats: See how many plays your videos get, which videos are played all the way through and all your comments at a glance.
• Tip Jar: Vimeo recently introduced the “tip jar” for content creators, which allows them to accept small cash payments from viewers who wish to tip you in appreciation for your work.
• Sell Videos: This feature is for upgraded members only, which allows you to sell your own videos as part of Vimeo’s On Demand feature.

Watching Videos on Vimeo

Here are some of the great ways you can find and enjoy videos on Vimeo:

• Staff Picks: Every day, the Vimeo staff picks out their favorite new videos and shares them in the “Staff Picks” section. This is a great way to find those breathtaking videos that really deserve exposure from viewers like you.
• Categories: If there’s a specific subject or video style you’re interested in, you can browse through the available categories to quickly stumble across something that might appeal to your interests.
• Channels: On Vimeo, channels are created by members and used to showcase collections of videos centered around common themes. It’s another useful way to discover great videos according to your interests.
• Groups: The community on Vimeo is strong and genuine, so Groups help bring members even closer. You can chat with others about videos and common interests by creating your own group or joining existing ones.
• Couch Mode: Couch mode basically lets you watch videos in full screen. Sit back, relax and enjoy!
• On Demand: Purchase videos from creators individual for a small fee to watch instantly and support their work.

Getting Started with a Vimeo Account

Vimeo offers several different options for members who want specific storage and feature needs. Here’s a brief breakdown:

• Vimeo Free: You can sign up right away with Vimeo for free. You do, however, get a pretty limited selection of features and just 500MB of storage space per week for videos you want to upload. You can always upgrade, and the free account is recommended for starters who aren’t too serious about content creation just yet.
• Vimeo Plus: A Plus membership is about $7 a month if billed annually and $12 a month when billed monthly, with a limit of 5GB storage per week. You also get unlimited bandwidth in the Vimeo player and a bunch of other stuff that basic members don’t have access to.
• Vimeo Pro: This one is for the professionals. It’s about $20 a month (billed annually) offers the most exquisite, high-quality picture for your videos. You also get 20GB of storage per week, no bandwidth caps, Pro statistics and much more.

Vimeo also offers two more premium plans for businesses and advanced video needs.

Cinema-grade video for all: Vimeo supports Dolby Vision for Apple devices

In 2017, we brought HDR support to Vimeo, enabling our creative community to capture and share higher quality video than ever before. Today, we’re proud to be the first global all-in-one video platform to support Dolby Vision.

Dolby Vision enables creators to produce stunning high dynamic range (HDR) videos and to deliver them to their viewers with their original creative intent fully intact – which is why Dolby Vision is one of the leading HDR imaging technologies among the world’s top storytellers, studios, and content distributors. Now you can easily create, host, and share cinema-grade videos — with supported playback within the Apple device ecosystem.

That’s huge news for dedicated creators and casual viewers alike. Your Dolby Vision videos hosted on Vimeo’s world-class player can now be experienced the way they’re meant to be seen, when viewed from compatible supported Apple devices.

What Dolby Vision means for you

Ultra-vivid and lifelike video quality

The same Dolby Vision technology that can deliver colors never-before-seen on a screen — plus highlights that are up to 40x brighter and blacks that are 10x darker — is now in the hands of Apple and Vimeo users everywhere. Whether it’s fleeting golden hour moments, low-light interiors, or sun-blazed daytime sequences, Dolby Vision allows you to capture and deliver your vision the way you want it to be seen, and immerse your viewers in every detail.

Starting right away, all Vimeo users, regardless of tier, can start hosting and sharing their Dolby Vision content, with ultra-vivid picture, brighter highlights, darker shadows, and incredible color. You can check out the Dolby Vision difference below.

Host on a best-in-class player

Your favorite binge-worthy shows are already utilizing Dolby Vision to share high-quality imagery that keeps you coming back for more. Now, you can upload, host, and share your ultra-vivid videos to a player trusted by over 200 million users.

Hosting your Dolby Vision content on Vimeo also gives you access to up to 7TB of storage (that’s enough space for 600 feature films!), a hyper-customizable player, and a totally ad-free experience, every time.

Spectacular playback experience across Apple devices

Now that you can upload and host your Dolby Vision footage on Vimeo without any compromise on image quality, viewers watching on compatible Apple devices — including iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV 4K — can experience your work at its most beautiful, and exactly as you intended. Think theater-level viewing, from home and on the go.

How it works

1. First, you’ll need to create your Dolby Vision video. Users with an iPhone 12 can record and edit Dolby Vision content using just the phone in their pocket — which means it’s never been easier to capture and share best-in-class video. You can also take your footage to your Mac to edit your HDR content and export a Dolby Vision video file ready for upload.

2. Once you’ve captured and edited your video, any Vimeo user can upload it directly to Vimeo from anywhere, through whatever workflow you prefer: from Final Cut Pro, or directly from your upload page.

3. Now that you’ve got your gorgeous video uploaded, you can view and share your video in all its Dolby Vision glory. Videos uploaded to Vimeo in Dolby Vision include a badge denoting the video quality on the video page and player, so your viewers will know your content is the highest possible video quality.

A note about devices: in order for viewers to experience your videos in Dolby Vision quality, they must be watching on a compatible Apple device, including iPhone 8 and above, 2nd generation iPad Pro and above, Mac*, and Apple TV 4K (if connected to a Dolby Vision TV).

Vimeo automatically detects and displays videos in Dolby Vision on all supported Apple devices. (But no worries if someone’s watching from an older model or non-Apple device — uploads are automatically converted to the best visual format available to any viewer’s device.)

Dolby Vision visuals, revealed

Staff Picked director Aaron Lieber — known for his stunning surf cinematography — is a long-time Vimeo pro who’s now using Dolby Vision to make his already dynamic work even more immersive. “I’ve been a Vimeo user since 2013, and I got my first Staff Pick in 2015,” he says. “To me, Vimeo really elevates what your film looks like.”

Nearly a decade after uploading his first video to Vimeo, Aaron is able to show off his stunning, Dolby Vision visuals on the video platform that he calls home. “The fact that you can have Dolby Vision on your [iPhone], shoot and edit on your phone, and have it on Vimeo, almost all in one day is just incredible,” Aaron emphasizes.
