Vimeo is a video platform alternative to YouTube. What Vimeo is often used for is publishing content that is only accessible after paying a little fee. Instead of producing and shipping DVDs, especially sports promotions use Vimeo to broadcast and share shows or matches. Of course, you can upload videos to be freely accessible as well.
For many, Vimeo is a way to escape many of YouTube’s flaws. You can do so too, especially now that we can help you to optimize your videos perfectly for Vimeo!

Mute The Video
Of course, your video will have an audio track by default. However, in some cases, it might be interesting or desired to remove the audio. If that’s the case, simply check the box before starting the conversion.
Cut Video
You only want to upload a part of your video? Or cut out end and beginning? Then you can do so by using the cut video function. There are no video editing skills needed. Just enter the starting and ending date of the part you want to keep in the video into the according field.
