While video-hosting service Vimeo isn't quite as popular as YouTube, it still has hundreds of millions of users. Over the past few years, the company has been regularly updating its service to entice more customers. The firm has announced that it now supports AVIF images which means an automatic improvement in page load times and bandwidth consumption too. For those unaware, AVIF is an acronym for "AV1 Image File Format" and is essentially an AV1 format for still images. Both these specifications have been getting a lot of traction recently. AVIF is getting official support in Android 12 and has been supported in Cloudflare since October 2020 as well. Vimeo has stated that with support for AVIF images, page load times will increase as the format preserves comparable image quality to JPEG and WebP, while maintaining a smaller file size. Although a potential downside is that encoding takes longer, the firm says that this will not be an issue because this will be a one-time operation after which AVIF images will be cached. Moving forward, Vimeo says that its image server will deliver image formats depending upon the HTTP headers of a web request and the properties of the source…

Writer and director Destin Daniel Cretton made the short film named Short Term 12 first before it manifested into the acclaimed feature of the same name. The feature film is an emotional indie starring Brie Larson, Kaitlyn Dever, LaKeith Stanfield and Rami Malek that deals with a group of young instructors at a treatment centre for troubled youth. It’s interesting how there are certain similarities in the two versions, most notably Stanfield who appears in both.PikuElements of the 2015 hit film Piku are loosely adapted from a short film made in 1980 by Satyajit Ray. Named Pikoo, the short was directed by him for a French television channel, France 3. It’s based on a short story named Pikoor Diary (Pikoo’s Diary), written by Ray for one of his books, Pikoor Diary O Onyanyo (Pikoo’s Diary and Other Stories). While Pikoo showcases a day in the life of a six-year-old child, Pikoo, in the backdrop of his mother’s extramarital affair, Soojit Sircar’s quirky comedy Piku is about the relationship between a daughter and her ageing eccentric father. The hit film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Irrfan Khan and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles.Yes God YesYes, God, Yes is a 2019 comedy feature…

Already growing fast, Vimeo saw demand stoked by the pandemic. “Overnight, video went from nice-to-have to need-to-have,” says Anjali Sud. Photo by Jamel Toppin for Forbes.Seven years ago, Vimeo had Hollywood dreams. The internet video outfit—owned by Barry Diller’s IAC—had found a niche hosting flicks for artsy filmmakers who didn’t want their works to be tossed into YouTube’s unruly, ad-driven stew. But it was a tiny, money-losing business with annual revenue under $40 million. Vimeo was pinning its hopes on the booming streaming business, betting it could leverage its relationship with creatives to build a subscription service to rival Netflix, Amazon Prime and HBO. It hired studio execs from Para­mount and Hulu and signed distribution deals with Lionsgate, CBS Interactive and Spike Lee for content to stock the new service. But Anjali Sud, then Vimeo’s 31-year-old director of marketing, had a hunch the company’s future was not in Hollywood hits but Silicon Valley plumbing. Her plan: Shift its focus from entertainment to entrepreneurs. “Vimeo had long been a software company for filmmakers, but the market was too small,” says Sud, now 37. “There was another, much bigger market—businesses. What Squarespace and GoDaddy did for websites, we could do with video.”…

Copyright AFP 2017-2021. All rights reserved. A video has been viewed thousands of times in Facebook, Weibo, Twitter and YouTube posts that claim it shows 'supernatural car crashes' in China. The claim is false: the video was created using digital effects from footage of traffic collisions. The video has been viewed more than 8,000 times since it was posted on Facebook on March 19, 2021. It shows various clips of cars that appear to crash without colliding with other vehicles. “In the Gannan area of Gansu province, many armed police and staff members from the Chinese Academy of Sciences were dispatched. Five kilometres around the area were blocked,” the simplified Chinese caption reads. “Because as the cars came here, they would collide with something unknown, which is quite strange and inexplicable.” Screenshot taken on June 1, 2021 of the misleading Facebook post The same video has circulated online since at least 2018, including here and here on Facebook; here and here on the Chinese social networking site Weibo; here and here on Twitter; and also on YouTube.
