vimeo

After all the trouble with uploading videos onto YouTube I thought I'd try another site called Vimeo. It gives you a larger weekly upload size than YouTube and often gives better quality video as YouTube automatically compress all the videos that get uploaded onto the site which reduces the quality and makes it look pixelated. I am still unhappy with the quality of the video and was wondering if it might just be my video camera but when I edited it on Final Cut I thought the quality was fine. Also unlike YouTube, Vimeo enables you to watch and upload videos in High Definition, which I think alot of the other video sharing sites will introduce in the near future if they are to catch up with Vimeo. Alot of Films and Tv especially are beginning to be shot in HD so the places which you can watch these back in need te be compatible with HD also.

I would have uploaded both videos I made for An Earth Tongue on Vimeo but my weekly upload limit is already spent which is a shame - not sure why as ive only uploaded one 600mb film on so far. Though Vimeo took less time than YouTube and I like the interface as it just looks a lot nicer. Also you can you use the share function to add your videos onto afew different websites, like Facebook, Flickr and MySpace which will be really useful for me as I made the videos to go onto a MySpace page. Here is the link.
