How to Move Videos from Vimeo to Kinescope

What the migration gives you

Original quality

Videos arrive in the folder you choose in their original quality, with metadata.

Your structure

Pick the project or folder for the transfer. Libraries organized in albums need the token’s Edit permission.

Yes. Videos are saved to the folder you choose in their original quality, and metadata transfers the same way as in other integrations.

It pulls in only the videos that appeared in the Vimeo account after the last sync. Videos are matched by their Vimeo ID, so no duplicate copies are created.

They stay in Kinescope. Syncing never removes content.

Move from Vimeo without re-uploading a single file.
