Vimeo application for iPhone includes editing tools

Vimeo finally introduced application Official iOSvideo sharing site. The application enables access to the Vimeo video online, but stresses it can record, edit, and submit your own videos to the service first and foremost. This is a wise step for the service that you want to distinguish themselves from the clear market leader YouTube, which is pre-installed on any iOS navigation device.

When you first start the application, you can sign for or login to your account, then immediately displays the Vimeo on your "My Stuff". But on the first tab in the navigation bar at the bottom of the app is "My Videos", and allows you to shoot new video directly in your application or add an existing library to your iPhone. If you already have to upload videos to Vimeo, displayed on this screen, too. The second tab along the bottom navigation bar is the section of the recording, which allows you to create video projects using multiple clips, taken from the library or directly from within the application.

On the Recordings, you can combine video clips, and use a simple video editor built into the application, which lets you add Vimeo title simple and text to movie clip, Create transitions and add sound track. Editor is pretty bare bones, but is also which is remarkably well considering it is not even the basic purpose of the application. It feels like it can do the job great shooting, editing and publishing simple, impressive videos short, all without leaving the Vimeo.

Vimeo had its time with the release of the application (Ryan Lawler had scoop on his way to the existence of planned back in September of last year), but I think that the company finally went to the great choosing offers more than just basic access to web content. The application is, of course — for viewing and get access to the contents of the saved and the tools to manage — but also makes a lot more. It is clear attempt at Vimeo on behalf of the appeal to the creator of the content, and should provide a site with a slight edge in attracting mobile uploaders.

Of course, due to its impressive video creation and editing tools, it also has a limited scope. Vimeo app is only compatible with iPhone 3GS and 4, iPod touch (gen), and the iPad 2. That leaves many iOS loop. Is calculated risk on behalf of the company, Vimeo, because the company clearly prioritize achievement above casual customers browse creators. Given how solid capture and edit application page is, I think that this is a smart move and one that represents a better long-term investment than just rushing to market with watered-down, but more generally consistent, the product.
