New Features

  • Share on Twitter
    Now you can share your videos on Twitter! Just click the Share icon in a video to launch the Share module.
  • Channel Notifications
    Channel owners now have a new section in their channel settings to optionally receive emails for when someone posts a message to their shoutbox and for when someone subscribes to their channel. Adding moderators to your channel also now has an approval process, where both parties will receive emails when the request happens, and when the request is approved.
  • People Subscribed To Me
    There is now a new page within your My Contacts where you can see what users are subscribed to you and what they are subscribed to (likes, videos, and/or appearances).
  • Featured videos for your group
    Have any videos you want to show off in your group? You can easily add any 3 group videos to feature on your group homepage.
  • Featured videos on your profile page
    Have any videos you want to show off on your profile page? You can easily add any of your 3 public videos to feature on your profile page. Try it now.
  • Removing Video Thumbnails
    Everytime you upload a video, you get 12 thumbnails to choose from. Now, a month from the day you upload your video, we will automatically remove any unused thumbnails. But you will always be able to upload your own.
  • Improved Searching
    We've been waiting for this. The toolbar search is now much more accurate.
  • Login and Join Vimeo Lightbox
    Clicking on most login and join links will now trigger a lightbox overlay where you can quickly login or join Vimeo and stay on your current page.
  • Better referrer statistics
    Now we record every page that videos get embeded on, check it out in the stats section to the right of any video page.
  • Share on MySpace
    Everyone says they hate it, but everyone has a MySpace profile! We've added MySpace to the Sharing options.
  • Badge additions
    You can now add channels and albums to any Badge that you create. Yipeee!
  • Daily Email Update
    You can now receive a daily email full of what's happening in your Vimeo world. Sign up is located in your notifications settings.
  • Converting time during transcoding
    Ted and Casey added a nifty little feature that will display the time remaining to convert your video during uploads.
  • New Hubnut Behavoir
    From now on, the Hubnut will not auto-rotate when it is loaded on a page. This will only affect all newly created Hubnuts, not those that are currently used on other sites.
  • Search Channels
    Now you can FINALLY search for Channels. Use the 'Search' box in the top navigation bar, make sure its set on 'Channels', and search away!
  • Posting to Flickr
    It's back! You can once again post your videos to Flickr. You can also post albums. Do this by clicking on Share and navigating to the "Post this..." tab.
  • Expanded Tag Browsing
    Clicking a tag from a video will bring you to an improved tag browsing experience. Now you can browse videos with that tag in your videos, all videos, your contacts' videos and more. Vimeo members who use that tag most are also noted.
  • New Avatar Feature
    Clicking any "avatar" aka user portrait will bring up a menu of actions you can take regarding that user. Use this menu to add contacts, subscribe to videos, and send messages to users you see on Vimeo
  • Spam Filters
    We've recently rolled out some great new spam filters that we think will help keep spammers off of Vimeo. Of course its impossible to stop ALL spammers, so if you ever see any send an email to Help@vimeo.com and we'll take care of it.
  • Add Multiple Email Addresses
    Now you can add multiple email addresses to your account and then sign in with any of them using the same password. Just set one as your main address, verify it after we send you an email, and you're all set.
  • Yo Vimeo!

    Time to announce our latest and greatest Weekend Project! Since our last two projects were somewhat light on the editing side, we decided to ask you guys to flaunt your knack for continuity and show us how you cut. Before I can go any further, though, please take a moment to watch this awesome short from our friends, French Cassoulet.

    For this Weekend Project, we are looking for you to submit your own short film that only uses "black transitions."

    We're putting an extra emphasis on creativity and originality for this project. As you already saw, French Cassoulet took a great concept and ran with it. We want to see you take that same concept and run in a completely different direction.

    Since our last Weekend Project had such a great turnout, we're offering the same prizes as the last time, which means the winner will come away with a shiny new Plus account (for Basic users) or 25,000 HD Embeds (for Plus members.) The runner-up gets an extra 1 GB of upload capacity (for Basic users) or 10,000 HD Embeds (for Plus members.)

    Your video can be any length and is due on Tuesday night at 11:59 PM. Also, make sure you add it to the Weekend Project Group.

    Have a great weekend,
    Sam

    UPDATE:

    Coming in a whopping four minutes before the deadline, this week's winner was last, but certainly not least. Fittingly, Adolfo Cantu-Villareal's video Offside is about another guy seriously running against the clock. This one's good for 25,000 HD embeds!

    We also have two runners-up this week. Blackout by Saulo Valley and Death of Imagination by Stu. Both runners-up will receive an extra 1GB of upload capacity!

    One last thing: We noticed that there may have been some confusion over the premise of this Weekend Project. Our original intent was for the videos to reinterpret the concept laid out in French Cassoulet's video. That said, we're sorry if we were not clear enough in our instructions and we will try harder in the future to make sure everything is clear, cut and dry.

    Big thanks to ALL who submitted!

    • Maarten Toner plus 1 month ago
      For some its Vimeubers :)
    • Chris Simon plus 1 month ago
      but be careful not to call them Vimeubers Maarten 'n Terence 'n anyone; or Blake will send you one of their lovely emails threatening to throw you off Vimeo ^_^ (I made big mistake of questioning their brief a little 'n have been warned ^_^)...Congrats to my respectful colleagues, Saulo Valley, Stu and Adolfo Cantu-Villarreal, now on my Wide Open Space Vimeo Channel, (Blog); if they let me keep it ^_^
    • Terence Beal plus 1 month ago
      For a french guy like me, who didn't understand perfectly Shakespear's language, what you're saying, Chris Simon, sounds a bit strange.

      I guess I'll never use anything else than simple word to name people using Vimeo. Didn't know it was subject to conflict between staff and members.

      Peace to everyone of you ;-)

      Why do I keep finding out about these late, late Sunday night? Hm. Gotta try one in a day and a half then.

    • Still pending, but I made it in at 11:56pm! Now that's meeting a deadline!
      This was a challenge to shoot and edit. But I loved every second of it. Thanks for the project!

      "Offside"

    • Chris Simon plus 1 month ago
      You did brilliantly meeting it Adolfo and your shoot and edit superb and a deserving winner. You also did well understanding brief perfectly. My "interpretation" of brief was not allowed on the project pages until afterwards. But I loved every second of it and had fun with sharing my project, "Black Bitter Sweet Transitions"...I really LOVED "Offside", almost cleverly mirroring the equally fantastic French Cassoulet..."Offside" really, really cool and music magnificent...
