Vimeo for macOS
Auto- sync directly from your desktop.
01
BRIEF
On 2018, the Vimeo app for macOS was launched as a one-stop shop for all things Vimeo, right on your mac. Video creators were able to upload, export directly from Final Cut Pro, check notifications, embed, and much more. During this time, the video industry began to shift towards cloud based solutions as production work can take a significant amount of storage and was still significantly hard to unlock collaboration.
We set out on a project to expand our Vimeo macOS app to streamline the production and collaboration workflows of our macOS app users.

OPPORTUNITY
Do more - from your desktop.
The Vimeo macOS app was originally built as part of an integration with Final Cut Pro. The intent was to gain a foothold in a real-estate that would be accessible to video producers, in the primary environment they worked on.
We began to move more fundamental actions like the ability to view the folders on your account, and management actions like sharing, embed, and editing metadata. This became a powerful unlock for our users.
Solution.
Through our research panels and reviews on the app store, we learned that our user-base for the app was primarily power-users. We conducted a series of interviews to gain more insight on what other opportunities the app could help us unlock.
