Rise Vision continues to embrace all the platforms available to users everywhere. This time we have another tool in the ever-popular online video arsenal.
Vimeo, like YouTube, is a terrific online community of videos. What separates Vimeo from YouTube is that most of the videos are made by the users themselves, so it’s rich with content that looks fantastic. Now, you can put Vimeo videos in your Presentation.
There are several options for optimizing Vimeo.
You can choose either a single video or a video channel. If you choose a channel, you can customize the videos in that channel to your environment with a series of filters, including when the videos were added to the channel and the running time. You can sort by the date the videos were published, and even limit the number of total videos played.
Where this filtering becomes valuable is if videos are added that fit your criteria, it will refresh your loop with the new videos.
You can find the help page for the Vimeo Gadget here.
I’ve always wanted to say that. It’s true.
We have created a Presentation for you with the Vimeo Gadget already in place.

The Channel is an elegant Presentation with the Vimeo Gadget large, front, and center. There is also the Twitter List Gadget to encourage the social media aspect of great videos.
Both of these are released to the open source community on our project site. And, as always, we are happy to chat with you about these on our active forum.
