How much does it cost?

Just read carefully this article: https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/independent-ends.html

Just got this email: Given that I have been using a plus account for over 13 years... WHAT IF I already uploaded more than 250GB? Until now I had unlimited space and a 5GB weekly limit. ATM I have no tool to check it. YouTube let youo pload a unlisted video so you could share to a client but there's no way to download the original version. You can download only a crap 720p downsized version. Other alternatives could be Frame.Io or https://www.gumlet.com/pricing/ Frame.io it's very expensive and doesn't support embedding

I agree with you but as I told you there's no difference among my Italian subscription plan and another unaffected by this ban. So why I have to pay the same and I'm not entitled to know who is affected? I'm not able to connect to my partners anymore. This is the last message from Vimeo support: As part of our compliance with local regulations, message, follow, search, for hire card, collaborator card and collections in activity card are not available in some regions, which is why you are not able to see them on Vimeo.com. While we are unable to discuss specific regulatory details, please know that our decision was made to ensure full compliance with applicable EU laws and regulations. We are committed to maintaining a high level of legal and ethical responsibility. Then I discover that Emanuel Portuguese account is not affected. To my knowledge Portugal is 100% inside the EU regulations.

Emanuel sorry for getting your name wrong but I don't understand what you are getting at. I am in Italy and Vimeo does not work as it used to. From the one article that summarizes what happened, I read that the change to the terms of the contract was made for several European countries: Several European users have the same problem and this is confimed by Viemo support which states "this is not a bug". I am glad it works in Portugal. Vimeo support keeps replying to everyone that “the service has been modified in some regions” but refuses to specify which are these regions. Hence the idea that the whole European Union is affected by the change in terms of service. I have been using Vimeo for my work/passion for 13 years and have my entire private archive online there. No use creating another account and using it secretly with a VPN. Ciao

This is the automatic I (and all EU users) are receiving to our complaints:

Manuel, sorry, did you read my opening message? https://shortverse.beehiiv.com/p/vime-nooo It affects all European accounts! Again: https://www.reddit.com/r/vimeo/

If you use it for you job, from now you and your video are invisible to all European users.

Financial problems: they changed the storage quota rules. The are unable to be compliant to EU rules. Then copyright problem I guess... Few months ago I received a notification from vimeo about a couple of my old video infringing music copyright. They were automatically put in private mode...While it's the norm on YT, on Vimeo it was the first time. And Vimeo is full of copyrighted music and they don't have a sofisticated management system as YT. The ban is in entire EU at least. I guess that they were able to reach some form of agreement with right owners in some countries while In EU they simply didn't have this agreement so they locked the users But I pay like a usa member so it's not fair at all. Without notice my account became a sort of Google Drive/MS OneDrive for video.

Once upon a time, Vimeo. For reasons officially unknown (I'll come back to this later) Vimeo stopped being, for us Europeans, a community of video storytellers. (As it still likes to call itself). Basically, in certain regions of the world you can no longer use the video search function and at the same time you can no longer browse other users' videos. I can only see and search my own videos and eventually see a video of another user only if I have its link. Even if I know his name I cannot search for him. I can only see his profile if I know his exact url. This post sums up what happened: https://shortverse.beehiiv.com/p/vime-nooo I am so angry. I noticed it by accident and I also looked like an idiot because I as well as thousands of other users thought it was a bug. No communication at all. Out of the blue. The entire UE community lost. Membership fee is the same for everyone but I have most of the features disabled. Those who read this thread and, for example, have an account in the U.S. or other countries not affected by this ban might think that this does not affect them. But it absolutely does not! I have several friends in the U.S. who use their Vimeo account for showreels, basically a videocentric Linked-in. In their profile they have written "available for hire." Here, you must know that their profile is no longer searchable from banned countries. And we don't even know which ones they are. I can only access a video of theirs via direct link but I can't go to their profile or search them by name via the search function. This is my following people page: I can see their names but I cannot click on their profile icons. Sounds like a joke. What is the point of these lists now? Just imagine my frustration, I've been a member for 13 years and I've developed a whole network of relationships over all these years and now I can't even see the profiles of people I've collaborated with, anymore. Think about it before you renew your subscription!

So I can't paint a picture copying the style of Picasso or Andy Warhol?

Of the S1HII or S2H or whatever we want to call it, nothing more is known. Perhaps at one time (I repeat: perhaps!) rumor sites actually managed to get information obtained through anonymous users. Now these sites are simply outlets of the manufacturers who decide what and when to release rumors that have simply become official teasers.

I think the theme of the argument is slightly different. If AI is able to generate images quite similar to the movie Blade Runner 2049, it [probably] means that the AI has been fed images from the movie that are copyrighted... in short, it is the “video” version of the same lawsuits filed by NY Times and other news outlets complaining that OpenAI trained its AI engine with text from their articles. In any case, it will be interesting to see how it turns out because a case like this will set an important precedent for all countries that adopt common-law.

So many helped spread the false news that Civil War was shot entirely with the DJI Ronin 4D. Instead, the main camera was a Sony Venice. However, the 4D was used especially in the combat scenes, and they also used an A7S3 for one particular scene. I found this interview (with lots of behind-the-scenes footage) with Civil War DOP Rob Hardy very nice.

I don't want to hack the thread. Is there an advantage to making external zooms?
