  • Alkarmi stated that Vimeo’s AI video suite is unique as it offers an end-to-end product suite, enabling users to perform all tasks without switching between different products or services.

Vimeo, a well-known company providing video hosting and software services, has unveiled a range of AI tools to revolutionize professional video production. The company has introduced an on-camera teleprompter, a script generator, and an automated video editor that can eliminate unnecessary filler words and pauses in a single click.

Chief Product Officer of Vimeo, Ashraf Alkarmi, stated, “The AI space obviously has accelerated buzz around it. There’s a lot of pressure from every company to jump on the AI bandwagon.” He stressed that Vimeo is dedicated to providing AI-based solutions that offer real value to their customers rather than just following the trend of AI adoption.

Video Creation Is Made Faster and Easier

Vimeo intends to reduce the obstacles to video creation and communication by introducing the new AI Video Suite, enabling more people to connect meaningfully through video.

According to Alkarmi’s forecast, the platform’s user base is likely to expand, with more users generating video messages and communication videos, ultimately improving the quality of videos and higher engagement across the platform.

Using artificial intelligence, Vimeo’s upcoming features on the USD 20 per month Standard Plan, set to launch next month, aim to simplify and expedite the video creation process. Within seconds, the script generator can create the whole video script on the basis of a brief prompt, adapting the language and length as mentioned. Additionally, the teleprompter feature enables users to maintain eye contact with the camera by displaying the script while recording the video.

Simplifying Video Creation for Businesses

The announcement solidifies Vimeo’s aspirations to become a comprehensive solution for corporate video requirements, given the increased investment by businesses in video for training, marketing, and virtual events. Vimeo recognizes the intense competition from YouTube and other platforms and is banking on advanced video production and editing features designed for professionals to give it a competitive advantage. Introducing new AI tools may further enhance Vimeo’s position as a potent competitor.

According to Alkarmi, Vimeo’s AI video suite stands out in the market due to its end-to-end product suite, which allows users to perform all tasks, from creating a script to hosting and sharing their videos on Vimeo’s platform, without the need to switch between different products or services.

Alkarmi shared that Vimeo’s AI video suite has garnered favorable reviews from beta testers, who have lauded it as “magical,” “game-changing,” and “transformative.” He also recounted his personal experience of utilizing the product, which saved him several hours and enhanced the quality of his videos.
