Vimeo Redesigns Cameo Video Editing App

Video platform Vimeo has announced a full redesign of their video editing app, Cameo, available for download today (iOS only). This is another huge step in support of the trend of content on the go, which has been starting to enter the underwater photography and video world.

The redesigned app allows users to edit video clips, adding popular music provided by Vimeo, filter effects, text fonts and colors and of course, easy sharing on social media platforms, including Vimeo. Navigation and workflow inside of the app is elegant and easy, steamlined from left to right like we see with Adobe workflow, Instagram, Snapchat, etc.

Cameo for Underwater Video

The Vimeo Cameo app is designed to edit and share videos on your cell phone, meaning underwater video shooters have an extra step before using the app (unless you're using a Watershot Cell Phone Housing).

So how would you use Cameo for underwater video? There are a few ways. First, you could shoot clips on a WiFi-enabled camera like the Canon 70D, Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II or GoPro Hero4. Once you're back on the surface you can simply transfer the clip(s) to your mobile phone for editing and either saving on your device (for sharing on social sites like Facebook or Instagram) or direct upload to your Vimeo account... before your dive boat even reaches the dock.

The second method would be to transfer video shot on any compact, mirrorless or DSLR camera underwater to your computer, and then transfer from your computer to your mobile phone. Obviously this isn't ideal because it defeats the spirit of "editing and sharing on the go."

Cameo is currently only availble for iOS but will be available for Android users in the near future.
