You all must have heard the news that Bending Spoons is acquiring Vimeo for a whopping US$1.38 billion. Since Bending Spoons is acquiring Vimeo for a whopping US$1.38 billion, it is bound to reflect heavily on their customer base that relied on Vimeo for its video hosting services Users are searching for Vimeo migration, and if you are one of them, here is a checklist on how you can migrate to Muvi One, one of the best OTT streaming and hosting software solutions, without losing any of your customers or data.
Vimeo will soon be delisted from Nasdaq, and with new leadership comes new strategies that may not align with your business goals. If you feel that Vimeo will no longer be the same, you are not alone. Vimeo will undergo massive structural changes both internally and externally, affecting thousands of customers. Users have started migrating, and depending on how you want to go ahead, you should also consider migration options.
Let’s admit migration is a tedious process. From data to customers, it becomes difficult to manage how the migration process will add all the information, and it will be able to create a seamless experience for the end viewer.
Muvi One is a migration solution that is going to take care of how the migration happens, from setting up of account to customer metadata, subscribers’ information, and everything else that is needed. Muvi One is a fully functional OTT streaming software solution that can help you build fully functional OTT streaming apps and websites spanning across 14+ ecosystems. Migration to Muvi One means you are introduced to a world of possibilities and while maintaining all your hard work done at the Vimeo video platform.
We will talk about the future possibilities a little later, but first, let’s take a look at the Vimeo migration checklist and what all we need at Muvi for a smooth transfer of your content and customers to Muvi One.
Let’s start with the basics first. Here are a few things you must do to start the migration process to Muvi One.
Now we understand that migration simply does not mean the transfer of video files. Here are the entities that will be migrated.
Muvi One offers a complete migration process where all your data and customer base shall be migrated to the new Muvi One CMS interface. In this migration, data will be stored on Muvi’s servers and accessed via Muvi One CMS. There is another way of on-premises migration where Muvi has to manage all the content metadata and artworks, but video/audio would be served from the customer’s own cloud storage via their own CDN.
For the ease of process, let’s assume you need to migrate all your assets in a full-fledged migration to Muvi One.
Sounds confusing?
Well, it’s not. Muvi’s team of experts will be there to assist you at every stage of your Vimeo migration journey. Here is a 6-step process of how your entire content repository will be migrated.
Make sure to have a Vimeo Pro subscription and then create a list of all the content and its metadata that you wish to extract from your existing platform. This metadata can include information such as titles, descriptions, tags, categories, etc. Simply prepare a list in a format that Muvi engineers provide you for easier reference.

From DRMs to multi-platform hybrid monetization-enabled services, Muvi is a one-stop solution to all your video streaming needs. Once the sign-up is complete, simply log in to the Muvi One CMS and start exploring and familiarize yourself with the various tools and functionalities.
The migration process works on folder IDs. What it means is you give us the relevant folder IDs of where your content resides, and Muvi’s team automatically syncs and replicates the entire video structure to your Muvi CMS. Under special cases, where the data to be migrated is not a part of the default configurations, a separate custom script is created to ease the import of content.
This step enables the transfer of all the video and audio assets.
Remember how, in the very first step, you created a list of metadata attributes to be migrated. Muvi’s team now helps you migrate all your metadata, including subtitles, tags, and captions, and link all of those to your new video and audio library. Additionally, all your existing users will also be migrated using CSV or Excel files, and they will be allocated a new default password that can be changed later.
Since this is critical data, your Vimeo payment gateways must support this. A replica of the plan & subscription will be created in the Muvi Account before migration. A re-authorization will be required from all subscribed users. Muvi will fetch user subscription details with the card authorization token and basic card information.
In terms of payment gateway migration, there are 3 cases for which migration is possible.
Once migration is complete, deep testing of all the aspects of the migration is initiated by Muvi’s testing team. A thorough unit, system, volume, and batch application testing is conducted to ensure all data is accurately migrated, secure, and properly located.
Vimeo migration to Muvi One is essentially a 4-6 week process, starting with the preparation of data to its go-live status. The steps mentioned in the image are followed to ensure an error-free, seamless migration for the customer. The best part?
Your platform does not experience any downtime whatsoever. While Muvi is busy migrating and testing your content on Muvi’s environment, your customers can still enjoy content on the existing platform. Apart from giving payment validations, they will not feel anything has changed, except if you wish to change it. We highly recommend that you explore our vast templates that are fully no-code and can help you build your fully customizable OTT streaming solution from scratch.
Well, the first and foremost reason why migration is required is that Vimeo will soon undergo massive changes that might not be in the best interest of your business. Now you can have a look at the top Vimeo alternatives, but here, let’s talk about Muvi and why it is a better choice if you are looking for a professional streaming solution.
