Open a web browser such as Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer on a PC.

Select 'Login'  Type in the account name & password.

If this is a class specific Vimeo account, contact your teacher for login information.

Select 'Upload a Video'

Select 'Choose file to Upload.'

Navigate to the output of your video.

If the output is from a PC H.264 converter, it can be found under Library > Videos.  Select the Windows menu in the lower left hand corner, and select your user name.  On the Left hand side of the window, look for 'Libraries > Videos.'

If your output was from Compressor, your video is where you assigned it.

Select the video and click 'Open'.

Vimeo will display the progress of the video upload.


While the video is uploading, fill out the Title, Description, and Tags information.

Once your video is uploaded, select 'Add to'.

If your Vimeo account has channels, this is the time to add your recently uploaded video to a channel.  Press the check box next to the appropriate channel.

To change the look and feel of your video, select the 'Embedding' settings.

Use this interface to assign the settings you would like to your video.   Once you have settings that you like, select 'Create a new Preset ...'

If you have done this before, you can assign a Preset by selecting a saved preset.  In this case, we're using the 'Texas Newswatch' settings.

If your video source was high definition, 1920x1080 for example, and you have a Vimeo Plus account, select the 'Video file' tab.  You know if you have a Plus account if there is a    icon next to the 'Video file' tab.
If not, skip this step and the next one.

Check the box next to 'Display this video in 1080P'.
