The minute clip took between and to encode with Vimeo, as compared with to with ScreenLight. There are two factors behind Vimeo's slower processing times. First, videos sit in a queue before they are processed. There seems to be a fair amount of variation in queue times with Vimeo. Sometimes a video will start processing almost immediately, while other times it can take upwards of half an hour. The second reason for the slower encoding performance with Vimeo is that SD and HD videos appear to be processed serially rather than in parallel.
The problem with Vimeo's variability is that it's difficult to budget for. If you have a client on the other end that's asking you when the video will be ready, you basically have to assume the worst because you don't want to over-promise and under-deliver. We used two different test clips of the movie Tears of Steel to evaluate uploading and encoding performance of Vimeo and ScreenLight over the course of a number of days.
Tears of Steel Clip - The 5 minute clip H. Total file size is Tears of Steel Full Version. The 12 minute and 14 second video H. Total file size is MB. The 5 minute version was chosen as it's a typical example of the length of videos that people upload for review. The 15 minute version was chosen as it represents times for longer videos and larger files. Dimensions and encoding specs were chosen as they are representative of what we have seen people upload for review using ScreenLight.
Each clip was uploaded 5 times to each service. To minimize the impact of variations in the upstream speed of our Internet connection, we alternated between uploading a video to Vimeo and uploading it to ScreenLight.
The nominal differences in upload times indicate that variations in the speed of the Internet connection did not influence the test results. We used ScreenFlow to record the screen during the tests. These recordings were used to calculate upload and encode times.
For comparative purposes we measured the time until the HD version of a video was available for viewing. In the case of Vimeo, an SD version is made available slightly earlier than the HD version, however, in the case of client review where video quality is important, we believe HD upload time is the best measure of performance. For the purposes of this test we didn't perform a subjective analysis of encoding quality, although it's an important attribute of any video platform and something that both Vimeo and ScreenLight prioritize.
In our small scale test we didn't run into the type of failed uploads and major processing delays that have caused people to complain about Vimeo on Twitter. These complaints appear to be the exception rather than the norm. Nevertheless, it's clear that there is a difference in performance of the two services when it comes to uploading and processing video. Another factor that affects video upload time is the Adobe Flash player on your computer.
Vimeo recommends installing Flash version Follow the links to uninstall your current Flash player, restart your computer, and then go back to the Flash Version Checker page to install the current Flash player. Installing an updated Flash player is free. Sometimes the video upload time will slow down significantly if you have other programs running.
For example, if you have an email inbox open or are logged in to any of your social network pages, the resources your computer uses to keep those pages open will affect the speed needed to upload your video. When you are ready to upload a new video via Vimeo, make sure to close all other windows and tabs you may have open. But as stated by user , they need to encode at least a low-res non-HD version of your movie, in case you upload a HD video, of course.
