Vimeo has rolled out a new update to its iOS application this week, taking it to Vimeo 2.0. The update comes just under a year since the launch of the original iOS application and brings with it a number of great new features for iOS owners.
The new Vimeo 2.0 brings with it support for Apple’s iPad with a specially tailor-made iPad user interface and is compatible with iOS devices running iOS 4.3 and above.
Enhanced Features and User Experience
As well as supporting the iPad, the new updated application also now enables you to edit, manage, upload, and watch your videos right on your iOS device. This means you can enjoy a seamless experience, allowing you to watch one video while you browse for another. This multitasking capability is a significant enhancement, making it easier for users to interact with multiple videos without interruption.
Joseph Schmitt, lead mobile developer at Vimeo, explains in an interview with the Venture Beat website:
“We’ve seen mobile traffic triple since we launched our original iPhone app in early 2011,” – “Now, we’ve taken what we learned while creating our previous apps and applied it to the updated iOS to improve overall design and usability. We’re especially pleased with the awesome iPad user interface, which the Vimeo community has eagerly awaited.”
New Editing and Management Tools
One of the standout features of Vimeo 2.0 is the enhanced video editing tools. Users can now trim, cut, and merge video clips directly within the app, making it a powerful tool for content creators on the go. This feature is particularly useful for vloggers and filmmakers who need to make quick edits without transferring files to a desktop computer.
Additionally, the app now offers improved video management capabilities. Users can organize their video library more efficiently, with options to create playlists and categorize videos. This makes it easier to keep track of your content and share it with your audience.
The update also includes improved upload functionality. Users can now upload videos in the background while continuing to use other features of the app. This ensures that your workflow is not disrupted, and you can continue to engage with your audience while your content is being uploaded.
Community and Social Features
Vimeo 2.0 also places a strong emphasis on community and social interaction. The app now includes features that allow users to comment on videos, follow other creators, and share content across various social media platforms. This integration helps to foster a sense of community among Vimeo users and makes it easier to discover new content and creators.
The app’s new design and usability improvements are also worth noting. The interface is more intuitive, with a cleaner layout that makes it easier to navigate. The iPad-specific interface takes full advantage of the larger screen, providing a more immersive viewing and editing experience.
You can now download the new Vimeo 2.0 iOS application directly from the Apple iTunes App Store.
