Vimeo PRO Account Opened to Serve Client Videos
A new client, an award-winning documentary film producer, required playing high quality videos from her site. I opened a Vimeo PRO account to provide her (and other clients) with the following advantages for videos playing from their web pages:
- HD quality video playback
- Adaptive bitrate streaming (videos start quickly, no jerkiness, if the network becomes congested or on a slow cellular connection – the video quality is automatically adjusted for best playback)
- No pre-roll ads (like YouTube puts at the beginning of videos that get a lot of play)
- Ability to “skin” the embedded player with different options, including matching the controls and text colors to those of the website
- Ability to upload a custom thumbnail (the still frame that displays when the video is not playing)
