Blake Whitman locked this topic on Oct 7, 2009 because we're closing the beta for now to work on fixing bugs and compiling feedback.

    hey guys, we're psyched that everyone is so excited to try the Desktop Uploader! This thread has become HUGE, so we're gonna close it down now why we work on fixing bugs and compiling user feedback. We'll be launching it soon so stay tuned!

    Has there been any progress on a desktop uploader?
    vimeo.com/forums/topic:4381

    ps. we are running osx here
  • Soxiam staff 2 years ago
    yup. solid progress is being made. we've been privately beta testing the product and about to open it up to more people for another round of testing. after that, we hope it will be ready to be released to the public.
  • Eberly Family plus 2 years ago
    Thanks for the quick response... I would be a volunteer to test the product.
  • Daniel Hayek staff 2 years ago
    You're a beta tester now.
  • Marcus Hackler plus 2 years ago

  • CCV plus 2 years ago

  • theflow 2 years ago
    I would also like to be a beta tester... On macintel snow leopard
  • Morreaux plus 2 years ago
    I too would like to beta test this... I often have a lot of small videos to upload at once. Been doing that by opening lots of Firefox windows, but this seems a better idea!
    Cheers

  • Stefan Grassberger plus 2 years ago
    I'd like to give it a try as well, because I would really like to upload a ~600 MB file and it's just impossible with the browser upload!
  • Daniel Hayek staff 2 years ago
    You're a beta tester now.
  • Stefan Grassberger plus 2 years ago
    Thanks, I was able to upload my video (vimeo.com/6593152)! Had to pause and resume every 10 minutes or so (every time the transfer was interrupted by my internet connection), but in the end it worked pretty well!
  • Daniel Hayek staff 2 years ago
    Well at least your video got uploaded ;)

    Hey Daniel, we would test it with our 1hour HD recordings where we are limited to 1GB upload and would try larger files.

    please beta us

    Thanks.
  • Daniel Hayek staff 2 years ago
    You've been invited.
  • Every Nation Dublin plus 2 years ago
    I tried to upload an 1.8 GB File but it failed after 1.08GB,
    i read that its supposed to be able to upload more than 1GB, is that still limited?
  • dalas verdugo staff 2 years ago
    Currently still limited to 1GB, yes. We're working on that.

    Hi,

    Just wanted to mention that I haven't received any instructions or more information yet.

  • Manuel Schmalstieg 2 years ago
    I would be very glad to beta-test this uploader, as i'm very close to recommend Vimeo as the ideal solution for a Cinema School department.

  • Obukan Kendo Club plus 2 years ago
    Thank you for letting me beta test this - I have have a couple of comments/suggestions:

    1) I would like to see the ability to add the videos to an album (or group) in the uploader - unless I missed something, it seems you have to go to the website after you upload and individually add each video to an album.

    2) The ability to batch upload is very nice, but I did notice one (somewhat large) downside. It seems that the tool uploads one file at a time, where as before, with a couple tabs open, I could upload multiple videos at the same time. This made me notice a significant difference in time needed to upload videos via the tool vs a browser (the browser with a couple tabs was about 2-3x faster than the uploader tool).


    Thats just my $0.02.
  • Daniel Hayek staff 2 years ago
    1. Not currently but we'll consider that for versions down the line.

    2. It s slower because it takes more time to split the file into pieces and upload them individually, but that's part of what makes it more stable than browser based uploading.

    Dear Friends,

    I've a serious upload problem....isn't possible to test that uploader...since we are using mac and pc to work with upload, do you have the same uploader for Windows...?
    Is it possible to use FTP protocol ?
  • Daniel Hayek staff 2 years ago
    The desktop uploader works with Mac, Windows, and Linux. Sorry no ftp option.

  • MidiaHome 2 years ago
    I would like to be and Beta Teste too.
    Because I used to upload 30 videos file one-per-one, and ajust the setting privacy to work only in my website, and set the custom embedding player.

    In the "desktop Uploader" don´t aceppt brasilian scripts like "Á, É, Í, Ó, Ú" it show the strange "�, �, �, � ,�"

    It will be very nice when Dektop Uploader make everything can be possible in vimeo website uploader like custom player, security, photos, credits, add to, create album, thumbnail, and video file.

    I can help to translate the desktop uploader to portuguese. I have experience with Sony Creative, RedGiantsoftware, Celemony, RuntimeSoftware producing brazilian-portuguese versions of promo video.
    I can produce a video-tutorial. Only give me an authorization to do that. make me exclusive auth to do this for the idea.

    Thanks and Enjoy Nice with Vimeo.
