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.
  • Greetings, minions. Another weekend is upon us, which means we have another project for you to sink your teeth into. And with the onset of Halloween, we want you to consider all things spooky in this eerie world in which we live. Make a video that gives us the spooks!

    Don't go running off quite yet. There are a few rules to this spooky project.

    All videos must contain:
    1: The prop: Fake Blood. There are many cool tutorials online that teach you how to make fake blood. Please, keep it safe.

    2: The line: "Is it alive?" Make sure this line is said at least once in your video.

    3: The setting: Night-time. The WHOLE video must take place at night to make it more spooky. Make sure your video isn't too dark, so that we can see what's going on.

    Other than that, you are free to to use any means to make the spookiest video you can. Give us the spooks, or else!

    Videos are due Tuesday, November 3rd, by the spooky hour of midnight. Make sure you add it to the Weekend Project Group, as well as to our spooky Halloween Group.

    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.)

    Have fun, please be safe, and spook it up,
    Spooky Steve


    UPDATE:

    Great job this weekend, everyone! All of the videos made were quite spooky. We have some spooky winners.

    For the runner-up, we have Trey Cook with his piece about a spooky figure in his kitchen. Trey gets an extra 1GB of upload space.

    And for the winner, Mr. Oz Smith takes away a spooky new Plus account for spooking us with his piece, "TV Dinner". Spooky!

    Congratulations, guys! Hope everyone had a spooky Halloween weekend and thanks for participating!

      so if we win a plus account does that mean that we are obligated to continue to pay for it later? Cause some of us, i.e. me, have no means to pay for that as of yet.
    • Stephen Niebauer staff 25 days ago
      Hey Brian,
      The prize is a free year of Plus. After that year, you can choose whether or not you want to continue with Vimeo Plus. It's all up to you!
    • Brian Kasnick 23 days ago

    • Saulo Valley 24 days ago
      Sorry. I can't do it. I don't having more time.
      My beautifull actress did not come to carve yesterday, then everything collapsed...

      Maybe on the next oportunity. §:þ|)
    • Saulo Valley 22 days ago
      GET!!!!

      I began to carve yesterday to 21:00hs. During the filming, it was lacking that it shines in the district for two times! I finished to 03:00 of copying the images for the pc. I published them today in the morning 07:00h even 12:00h and did the upload at the home of my brother because in the hour ' H ', net stayed off line (normal in Brazil)!

      I still had time to compose some crazy tracks:D Looked to me hahaha! http: // vimeo.com/7414885 UFA!

      dear people---

      dont want to hurt anyone but halloween is a topic you can suggest for an anglo audience mainly... in most other parts of the world halloween is nothing more than a marketing offensive. anyway living in vienna its even stranger --- while the others celebrate halloween, viennese celebrate "hallowien" and I prefer the paradox version hello-world in any case!

      with good intention,

      harald

    • Andrea Allen staff 25 days ago
      Hi Herald,
      We thought about this before we posted this weekend project. That's why we made it a project that doesn't involve Halloween exclusively. Even if you don't celebrate Halloween, you can still make a scary video!

    • Chris Simon plus 25 days ago
      Yes, thank you for very, very clear rules. I do hope I haven't broken any ^_^ Here's my hopefully fun offering:

    • Rick Henry 21 days ago
      What does an original London Movieum have to do with Is It Alive-Zombie Hop James? And, do you have same name as Mr J. Roberts, London? Why are you linking what you say is the original vimeo w-end project when it's offtakes allowed & recreation by b-boys from thisauthentic showreel:
