Opinion: Vimeo and Youtube have both toughed it out to onboard a significant percentage of creators on their respective platforms. ‘Vimeo Create‘ is a step in making the video hosting service even more creator-friendly for businesses/individuals looking to make high-impact social videos. The tools offered by Vimeo allows you to make nifty edits such as texts, color and add your brand’s logo to a pre-existing video template. The templates on Vimeo are of high quality and even the editing cues are clearly mentioned, which means that you don’t have to view the videos back and forth to edit it. It’s all displayed as separate clips, just tap on the one you want to edit.
The timing of the launch is right, since Canva, the browser-based image creator is also planning to offer video creation and editing tools this year. Nicely done, Vimeo. 🙂
While it’s competitor Youtube has upgraded it’s Youtube Studio interface to make it easier for creators to upload and edit videos. Vimeo understands that it’s user base is a little complex and a different strategy is required to grow its revenue.
