Here is a quick webinar to get started:

Prerequisites:

  • An active Vimeo Standard and higher or Vimeo Pro or higher plan

Now head over to Import Page. You will find Vimeo and click on connect, and you will need a personal token from Vimeo to import your videos.

Select a Profile

Select a profile to process your imported videos. All the files will be imported and processed automatically based on the selected Video Profile.

Select a Destination

The destination is where all your imported videos will be stored. This is the same as the collection. Select a collection from the list, and we will process and keep your videos in the selected collection.

Clicking the Import Videos button will start the Import.

Import Progress

Import Progress

Sit back and relax. We will do all the heavy work to import and process videos for you.

You will find all your Imported Videos in the selected collection.

Update Embed Code

All your videos are imported to Gumlet. If you use Vimeo Embeds, you must replace your URL prefix with a Gumlet prefix to support the same URL structure to play your videos directly.

The Vimeo Embed URL looks like https://player.vimeo.com/video/831802811

Replace https://player.vimeo.com/video with https://vimeo.gumlet.io/embed

Your new URL will be like https://vimeo.gumlet.io/embed/831802811

Happy Streaming.
