I used Vimeo Pro to make videos for my website. It was a great tool to help me create videos but was on the pricey side for me. I loved the site's features so I still use Vimeo, but don't maintain a pro membership anymore. Sometimes I miss the more advanced features and would consider switching back.
  • The Portfolios feature is amazingly helpful
  • Sharing is easy
  • Albums feature is great for organization
  • The statistics are not as specific as some other sites.
If you need to create a lot of videos Vimeo Pro is definitely for you. If you only need light usage, the cost might be a little steep for what you use it for. The features and benefits make it worth it, but only if you utilize them. There is also an option to not have any upload limits if you have a high output volume.
Vimeo is really the only site I use.
  • Adobe had compression presets which made my workflow so much smoother.
  • You have further customization options with Pro
  • Custom portfolios need to be remade each time.
The customization options are vast and very easy to utilize. While there can be a slight learning curve for some advanced features, it is not so steep that it takes a long time to figure out. Support is great at guiding you through anything that might be confusing to you as well.
