Migrate from Vimeo

This guide provides a detailed walkthrough for generating an access token(secret key), which is essential for successfully migrating videos from Vimeo to FastPix.

PLEASE NOTE

Migrating from Vimeo requires that you have at least a Pro subscription or higher with Vimeo. This limitation is set by Vimeo and is a requirement for video file access.

To access your content on Vimeo, FastPix needs an access token. This access token is used to retrieve the list of your videos, and to access the video source files.

Obtaining Vimeo credentials

You can generate Vimeo access tokens is in two quick steps:

• Create a Vimeo application.
• Create an access token for this application.

Step 1: Create a Vimeo application

To create an application, go to your Vimeo applications, and click on Create an app.

Step 2: Create an access token

Once your app is ready, Vimeo redirects you to the application settings page. You can generate access tokens on this page.

In the Authentication section:

• select Authenticated (you)
• check the Private and Video Files check boxes, and then click on Generate.

The access token that you generate appears on the page. You can use the Token value in the FastPix Migration Tool to authenticate your Vimeo account for the import process. Follow the next part of the migrate process below.
