I am seeking more information regarding Vimeo, specifically how their $60/year paid program works. Anyone paying for Vimeo or know a bit more than can be obtained from their website pages? I know someone who paid for Vimeo, put up an HD video, and shared a link with me - but it is not showing up as large as the other HD videos like this one: http://vimeo.com/hd#12358381 Specifically, the video that was uploaded is 6.5 x 4", the one in the link is 9.5 x 5.5". The obvious question would be, "Dean why don't you ask your friend?" The answer is "it is a little complicated"... but it does have something (tangentially) with cafe husky.
I do. And I can attest that my vids are not as large as the one you posted. Even if I upload them in their native resolution (1280x720) they still get shrunk down. For $60 (although I think I paid $50 a few months ago) you get 5gb of upload space per week, unlimited HD uploads, HD embedding and some other minor things. If you want to use my account to play around with then just say the word.
This is actually incredibly awesome to hear. Someone else bought a vimeo paid hosting account and they also do not have their HD videos in the larger size. I don't need access to your account, but thank you for your kind offer. However if you could ask how videos do show up in the HD gallery I would consider that a *huge* favor. I have a feeling that if there are enough 'Likes' they may be auto-promoted, or possibly it is a manual process such as when things are added to the cafe husky tech ref forum.
At this time cafehusky does indeed have a smugmug account, and we are indeed using it to host some select videos.
Here is how my gallery would look to Joe Public: http://vimeo.com/user1907538/videos Is this what you're wondering? Everything I upload is HD (720P), so I have no dedicated area for HD content. If I'm misunderstanding your request then please advise. And then dumb it down for me
Go to this page: http://vimeo.com/ And about 1/2 way down on the right under 'explore vimeo' is an HD button, clicking on that brings up this page: http://vimeo.com/hd My question is, if you wanted to get your videos onto that HD page, what would need to happen?
Ahhhh.... got it! Here's what I found: "This channel is moderated by the staff of Vimeo. If you want your HD video added to this channel, put a link in the shoutbox and we'll check it out." To me, it seems like if they accept your video into the HD channel then they (the mods) will super-size it and post it to that channel.
Which is sort of what I expected. One last question. Can you see that text while not logged in? (my guess would be no...)
I can see the text in the Shout Box, but I cannot write anything to the Shout Box unless I'm logged in. Not sure if free users have the same functionality or not, but this is what I see as a paying member.
