This was a big year for filmmakers on Vimeo. In 2017, we released 360 video, Vimeo Live, video review tools, and a number of features to improve your post-production workflow — with even more on the way. For us, the focus is on your process as a filmmaker. That means going beyond showcasing your work in the highest quality. As anyone who works on videos will tell you (and as our own production team knows quite well), the majority of the work is in all the details, from uploading to marketing and beyond. SEAMLESS REVIEW TOOLS Even for a short video, post-production can include weeks of feedback with clients or team members, on every iteration. There’s simply too much to do (and too much at stake) to use a messy review system.

We built video review tools to solve those issues. You can send rough cuts to as many people as you need, whether they’re on Vimeo or not. And feedback is clearer than ever: you can leave time-coded notes anywhere, on any frame of the video, and replies will appear in real time. Just click on a note and you’ll jump right to its assigned point in the video. And since you never really have to leave the Vimeo workflow, it’s saving valuable time, little by little. Which adds up to a ton. MANAGEMENT TOOLS & ADOBE INTEGRATIONS This year, we also introduced folders to our video management tools. Even though the concept of folders have been around for, well, basically forever, our community is saving a lot of time with this simple, powerful organization tool. And it all happens from the same place that they’re uploading, iterating, and reviewing.

We also rolled out the Vimeo panel for Adobe Premiere Pro, so you can upload

videos straight to your account in a snap. And that means post-production is that much simpler.

LIVE, FROM VIMEO One of our biggest announcements in years just came out, too: Vimeo Live, built for seriously beautiful live streaming. We’re talking full HD 1080p and cloud transcoding, so viewers can enjoy stunning video across devices. You can also turn viewers into fans with email capture in the player, and enable live audience chat to interact during your event.

What else makes it awesome? Extra speedy support, stream reliability, and powerful privacy options for sharing securely. You can also edit and replace post-event videos with files in up to 4K, get 5TB of storage, and even sell your videos after the big event. Taken together, it makes Vimeo your home for both live and hosted videos.

EYES ON THE FUTURE We’re committed to helping all creators, whether you’re building your portfolio, or pioneering new forms of storytelling with live and 360 video. Your input serves as our North Star as we keep building, so we hope you try our tools, see what’s working, and let us know your feedback.
