And while we don t yet offer 4K streaming on our site, we ll be ready by the time broadband providers start widely supporting the high speeds required. It'll be so awesome when we all have IMAX TVs in our homes...
I don't get it. For as long as I can remember, anyone could go to the Download button on my clips from my Vimeo Plus account, and select the "Original" file for downloading in full UHD-4K. What has changed?
While downloads of 4K source files were always available, we're transcoding in 4K now and allowing downloads of those transcodes. In other words, PRO users upload in 4K and we transcode the video into 4K - and the 4K videos you upload now will be ready when we enable 4K playback force download on-site.
Thanks for the clarification, which I can't avoid constructively saying is not really evident in the announcement. Moreover, given the general sophistication of your users who would always prefer downloading a source file in 4K rather than the lossy/damaged/re-transcoded 4K file you are now offering, this change really doesn't amount to any functional addition force download for us -- just a backbone hint of 4K streaming in the indeterminate future. To put it simply, absolutely nothing has changed...
What a weird announcement of basically....nothing!!! force download I am anxiously force download awaiting force download to be able to offer my viewers force download not only to download when needed a 4K version but also allow them to watch it in 4K on Vimeo without having to send them to Youtube!!! Come on guys, let's get with it, Vimeo is the filmmaker portal and we are so behind the eight ball!!! force download
Broadband providers already have speeds capable of streaming 4k video. There are a lot of paying members on here so the infrastructure for 4k streaming should already be in place, this to me is inexcusable. The optimum for 4k streaming 20mbps and the average speed from providers is enough.

What on Earth is an "IMAX TV" supposed to be? IMAX is a film format, it is roughly equivalent to 70mm film. So there are special force download IMAX cinema screens, but in the case of a TV screen, I believe the comparison with this film format is utterly irrelevant.
So how do we go about posting 4k content so it's easy to stream... is it 'automatic'? I've posted one 4k video - vimeo.com/103086333 - a high speed camera test shot (very simple), if I could I'd ONLY let it be viewed at 4k because even 1080p really doesn't work in this case (lots of fine flying particles) but it looks pretty nice at 4k.
Hurry up with the 4K streaming guys. Your customers are precisely the kind of creators most likely to want/need this.
Hey guys, check out this 4K-Film we did. Its special, as we didnt use any VFX in the post for all effects. Its about the feeling when listening to YOUR favourite force download music. Hope you like it! vimeo.com/114022293
You mention that "Starting today, Vimeo PRO members and Vimeo On Demand sellers can allow people to download 4K video files. That’s right, video viewers: super-crisp vids can, in fact, be yours"
A friend just went to a link I posted of 4K content (he's not a Vimeo member) but there is no option to download the "original" file. I logged out and tried the same thing...and there is in fact no option to download the 4K file. So I think it should be noted that only MEMBERS of Vimeo can download 4K assets - not "People" which I would assume means everyone on the planet that is a human being with an internet connection.
Vimeo is behind and it's a paid service force download -- as much as I'm concerned that's inexcusable. Also charging for being able to upload 1080p at this age is ridiculous. Why would I add to the toll of mounting subscription fees something that I can have for free?
However it's just fraction of the community -- on forums, blogs, or FB groups force download Youtube videos can be embedded just as easily as Vimeo's. And if I want to allow download, I'll add a link to the original in Dropbox.
I am a Pro Member and have always enjoyed Vimeo's ease of use and quality. I have been in the photography game for 42 years and at 54 years of age still have to keep investing to protect my good standing with clients.
I love the service, that's why I am a PRO Member. force download But someone is asleep at the wheel at Vimeo. I mean Apple has brought
