Working to improve my basic editing skills using royalty-free music, I came up with “Train to Palermo — The Zebras Version” — sharing my ride in Buenos Aires from Villa del Parque (home) to Palermo (tourist haven). To see how Vimeo bests YouTube when it comes to sound quality, watch the first 10 seconds of these two versions and concentrate on listening.
To each site I uploaded the exact same video file and as you can hear, the sound comes out a lot better on the file hosted by Vimeo. (By “better” I mean “not muffled” and “sounds like the original when played on my computer.”) This is something to keep in mind when deciding whether YouTube or Vimeo is better for sharing your video projects.
