How Vimeo and Kapwing enhance your video workflow
Video marketing teams and creators can put their brand at center stage with Vimeo and Kapwing. Here are a few of the ways you can use this integration to get more from every video.
- Videos on social media can help small businesses or creatives reach a wider audience — algorithms tend to push video content to more users, especially if they spark engagement. Kapwing makes it easy to create clips from longer-form content — perfect for social distribution. You can then upload your video clips from Kapwing to Vimeo to publish with a click.
- Producing a new video for your website? After creating a video in Kapwing, upload it to Vimeo to access easy-to-use embed features. Vimeo automatically generates the embed code, which you can copy and paste into your website's HTML editor. If you make changes to the video player, they'll be applied automatically — no need to re-embed!
- Even remote teams can work closely on video projects with Vimeo video collaboration. By adding a Kapwing video to Vimeo, you can invite stakeholders to leave time-stamped feedback so you can see exactly where to make edits. You can also track changes and comments across previous versions of your videos, simplifying one of the most challenging parts of the video production process.
- Vimeo makes it easy to keep your video content organized and secure. Create folders for your video projects and customize who has access with granular permissions. With organized files, it's quicker and easier to find the content you need and collaborate with team members or stakeholders.
