An IOS app "Cameo" - subscribers can edit their HD videos by applying effects, editing clips, adding soundtracks and titles.
As I explored Vimeo for this blog report, I found that I prefer Vimeo to youtube for the classroom. I use videos of performances of middle school choruses as a resource for my performance groups. I like the noncommercial, less cluttered visual of the Vimeo website. In general I think the Vimeo videos are more professional looking. My theory is that Vimeo subscribers use the "video school" feature to make improvements to their original videos. I think watching videos offers an opportunity to talk to students about posting performances on social media and the importance of presenting a quality presentation of a performance. Videos also offer an opportunity to talk to students about the importance of posture, demeanor, attention and body language that add or detracts from a performance.
Vimeo offers a tele collaborative opportunity for chorus students to create videos of their singing performances to share with students at another school. Students in general music classes could also have tele collaborative experiences recording guitar and drumming performances and sharing them with students in another school. Students could exchange original compositions and make videos of the performances of those compositions.

Thanks for letting know about the Cameo app. Cameo looks like a nice little app to work with Vimeo. I did find, however, that when I search for "Cameo" on my iPad, it doesn't show up at first. I had to filter by "iPhone Only" instead of "iPad Only," despite the fact the Cameo works for both devices.
