How to upload SD/HD Video, Blu-ray and DVD movie clips to Vimeo successfully?

Step 2. Choose H.264 codec for Vimeo

Though Vimeo supports most of the major codecs, but H.264 is perfect for uploading and processing. So click the format bar to follow “Common Video” > “H.264 Video (*.mp4).”

Step 3. Set the best video and audio parameters for Vimeo (Optional)

You may wonder why you can’t upload an SD or HD video which is in correct codec and format to Vimeo. You need to obey the uploading rules that Vimeo makes. For example, the best frame rate for uploading is 24 (or 23.976), 25, and 30 (or 29.97); the sample rate shall be less than or equal to 48 kHz. Please make sure your video and audio settings match Vimeo Compression Guidelines.

Click “Settings” button and in “Profile Settings” screen, set the video and audio parameters like size, bitrate, frame rate, and sample rate to the best for uploading on Vimeo.

Tips:

In addition to format and codec, the file size is also important during the uploading process. When if you are converting a large size file like a FLV video for fast uploading onto website, please remember that reduce the size first in the above picture.

Step 4. Edit SD/HD/Blu-ray/DVD before uploading (Optional)

To upload wanted clips in an SD or HD video, or in a Blu-ray and DVD movie, you can go to “Video Editor” window to use the “Trim” function. You’ll find other editing functions like cropping, adding watermarks, adjust special effects, etc.
