Staff Blog / Excellent updates to video credits and Vimeo Perks
Gather 'round, video-loving friends — we've got some news of the good variety!
We've always believed it’s important to give credit where credit is due. And so Vimeo credits are a handy way to bestow props upon the folks that made your project possible. In the past, if your sound designer, DP, or Best Boy possessed a Vimeo account, you could add them to the credits lickety split. Today, we're proud to announce that you can add anyone to the credits of your videos, Vimeo member or not. Now everyone can be acknowledged! Here’s a little primer on how to credit a non-member:
+ Head to the Settings page for your video
+ In the Basic tab, scroll down to the credits section. It will look something like this:
+ Click “+ Add credit”
+ If the person you'd like to add is not a member of Vimeo, type in their name, role, and email address in the appropriate fields:
+ Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click “Save Changes”
+ Admire your work by navigating back to the video page. Just like magic, your pal will appear in your credits list. They'll even get an email notification about it so they know what's what.
Credits are cool, but the news train ain't stopping there. Have you taken a joyride through Vimeo Perks lately? Our member rewards program, exclusively for Plus and PRO members, is brimming with sweet discounts on cameras, software, video accessories, and more.
We highly recommend taking a browse or three through the B&H section, which boasts a freshly stocked selection of bundles for accomplished filmmakers and newbies alike. And you can squeal delightedly at more deals from Kessler, Red Giant, Letus, and GarageCube if you head over here.

That's great but I have two actual members that I can't add because it says they haven't verified their accounts. Thing is I've credited them before.

cool. how bout expanding on the "IMDB theme" and encourage filmmakers to enter a logline, plot summary, genre, parental ratings, country, language, release date, filming locations, runtime, technical specs, color, aspect ratio, trivia, and goofs for their VIMEO projects.

Cool, I think it would be also cool to have the credited videos appear globally under the users Video page, then have 2 seperate categories e.g. Uploaded Videos, Credited Videos?

It's a nice addition, but will we see the return on some technical information that was removed during the updating?

This is awesome! But, I just added a credit for someone, he accidentally untagged himself, and now I can't retag him. He doesn't show up, but I get "You have already added this person to the credits of your video." Any help?

We're working on this!

SWEET!

Great addition. It would be great to add a website for the person as well. I know many people that do not like having their email as a link on a web page. But to check out their FB page or website would be incredible addition.
Thanks for creating this.

This is great! I just added a bunch of links to the players in one of my vids.

Super stupid question here, but once I've added credits to my videos, where do I see them? I can't seem to find them. (I mean, on the video's public page, not just in the settings).

very good

Is there a plan to allow multiple credits to be added for the same person? for instance if one person was "Producer, Set Designer, Lighting Engineer, Writer" it will only come up with "Producer, Set Designer, Lighting" as the role filed has a character limit. It would be much better if you could just tag the same person multiple times, one for each role they played in the production.
