Detailed Guide to Compress Videos for Vimeo:

Step 1 Load the videos you need to compress.

After installing and running this video converter, you'll come to the Converter tab by default.

Step 2 Change compression settings for Vimeo videos.

Here are 2 methods to change video compression settings. Choose only one to continue as your needs.

Method 1: Change both video and audio settings

Choose the video output format by clicking the inverted triangle beside the Output Format: option, from the drop-down list, select Video > Vimeo, then click the Create button to enter the Settings window. In the pop-up window, you can manually adjust different kinds of settings. Vimeo supports videos with constant frame rates of 24, 25, or 30 (or 29.97) frames per second. If your videos were shot at higher frames, you should encode them at half the original frame rates. Then you’ll need to limit the bit rate of your videos to 2,000-5,000 kbps for SD and 5,000-10,000 kbps for 720p HD video. Alternatively, you can choose Small Size to shrink Vimeo video intelligently.

Wondershare UniConverter also enables you to adjust the settings of audio. The data rate should be limited to 320 kbps, and the sample rate should be 48 kHz. If the audio project is less than 48 kHz, just leave it at the current sample rate.

After adjusting the settings of your videos, click Create and then select the newly-built format. This method will change all video settings in batch.
