We’ve re-encoded, resized, and replaced the projects we have hosted on Vimeo.com, making them available in HD.
Some of our work contains textural elements with fine detail and film stocks with visual grain. When aggressive compression algorithms are applied to content that possess these details, the results can be less than optimal with shifted color palettes and blocky artifacts.
Of course, the original uncompressed masters are pristine and these hosted files remain encoded for fast online playback, but they are vastly superior in visual quality compared to the files they are replacing.
Happy viewing!
