The new version of Vimeo - v4 - launches Tuesday morning. Of all the projects I've been involved in in my life, this is the one I'm most proud of -- the only one I would conceivably brag about. It's like trying to fall asleep on Christmas Eve when you're a kid and you think you know you're getting a Game Boy, but you don't know for sure.

    oi! vimeo v4 blocks all attempts to get moving profile icons. buuhuu. i want them back!
  • Jake Lodwick plus 4 years ago
    Andrew, do you think we could easily let people upload animated GIFs? Maybe they could have an option to upload any file into its native format, if it met a few criteria (filesize, width & height)?
  • hªnnes 4 years ago
    hey jakob; with the old vimeo it worked. all you needed to do was make a 75x75 gif, rename it to jpeg and upload it. dont know why, but vimeo v4 blocks it...

    Jake, Vimeo V4 is definitely worth bragging about. I'm so proud of you guys!

    It's great how Good morning, universe is listed as a related clip. The first and last clips both tied together.

    Or another way to look at it is clips of you drinking are related to clips of you half naked in bed.

    Vimeo 4 is so impressive! I am so excited

    V4 is going to be a big hit. haha I've gotten so used to it that it's hard to go back and navigate the old version. The design is beautiful and all of the new features and integrations make Vimeo even more enjoyable than it was before and I really didn't think that was possible. Excellent job, guys.

    hehehehe. "...it's what americans drink". v4 is pretty sweet, Jakob. You guys did a great job with it. I'm so glad there's something on the internet that's not only good, but it's good _for_ you too...like vitamins...or the department of homeland security.

    Can't help but feel concerned. In the words of a Pink Floyd song: Are you feeling okay? Just kidding. Shut up, you'll be fine!
  • Jake Lodwick plus 4 years ago
    I'm fine now, now that I got some frickin sleep.

    i'm pretty sure the supply of Bud Light at CV is neverending. at least there was never a time when i opened the fridge and didn't see some in there.
  • Zach Klein plus 4 years ago
    It won't go away. I am pretty sure it's the same case of beer we bought two years ago.

  • Benjamin David 4 years ago

    the new version is great, thankyou.

    After all the work you put in you really deserve a better beer then Bud Light.

  • Josh Helfferich plus 4 years ago
    WOW. I just wanted to say thank you, guys. I may not even know you personally, but you've done a heck of a lot of work to make this site awesome. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    I do, also, think that I'm a little attached to the old blue logo, but that pales in comparison to the sheer perfection of the rest of the site.

    You deserve a big *e-hug*. YEE.

    I really really like the new layout - colors and everything. You guys did such a great job! :) I have such a crush on V4 right now.
  •  
  • Morgan Tepsic 4 years ago
    Holy shit! Jake good job! It feels like little over a year ago this was just some really simple site that was kind of "indie". Now I really see Vimeo going places, and being really really popular!

    Bravo again!

    Thank you for giving us Vimeo, our family can now see our little girl doing silly things...priceless

  • Andrea Allen staff 4 years ago
    wow-weeeee! But seriously, it's really, hh-really nice. You should have another Bud. Cheers!

  • pstine 4 years ago
    You throw a wild party for the book release but not for Vimeo 4.0?! Bah!! But yea, the site looks slick. The layout is very neat and clean.

    Just a recommendation: when you have a link to Flickr in the comments, I find it better to have it open in a new window when you click on it. I find that if it's just a picture or something that I just take a look at once, I sometimes close the whole browser by accident losing the sites I had open.

    I´m missing the 'recently dug clips' feature.
  • Paul McClintock plus 4 years ago
    Now it's called 'recommended clips'.

    "It's Bud Light. It's what Americans drink."

    "Am I happy?.....Yeah."

    Friday was so not a holiday. It's a religious thing - tons of companies didn't honor it! :)
