Thanks Franz. Looks promising.

Brynn over at NoFilmSchool posted the catch 22 on this announcement:

The fact that users will have to create a vimeo account to become customers is a shame, although understandable from a technical perspective of course.

I think one of the biggest challenges as a distributor these days is being able to meet people where they’re at – and for the most part, they are not on vimeo. At least, not the people who would be buying my films. Of course you can “take it to them” since all you have to do is post a link on Facebook or the like, but we all know that the more hoops people have to jump through (like creating new accounts they don’t really want), the less likely they are going to buy your product.

Early days.

Happy editing

There’s a myriad of distribution platforms today, the technology is not the issue, it’s the marketing.

So true.

That’s true… but don’t you have to become a customer, a registered user, whatever you wanna call it at any platform where you can watch pay per view content?
