Vimeo Video to LinkedIn Clips - How to Turn Source into

1. Download Your Vimeo Video

First, download the original video file from your Vimeo account. Using the highest quality source ensures your LinkedIn Clips look sharp and professional. You must own the rights to the video to comply with both platforms’ terms.

2. Check LinkedIn Clip Requirements

  • Length: Up to 15 minutes per clip
  • Aspect Ratio: Any ratio between 1:2.4 and 2.4:1; vertical (9:16) and square (1:1) are popular
  • Resolution: 256x144 to 4096x2304; 1080x1920 (vertical) is recommended for mobile
  • Captions: LinkedIn offers auto-captions during upload, but adding captions beforehand increases accessibility

3. Use Vidulk’s AI Clipper to Create LinkedIn Clips

Install the Vidulk app on iOS or Android. Import your downloaded Vimeo video. Vidulk’s AI will scan your video, identify the best moments, and generate short clips in vertical format (9:16) by default, or you can adjust to square or other supported ratios. Captions are automatically added to each clip. You can review, edit, and export the clips, ready for LinkedIn upload.

4. Upload to LinkedIn

  • Go to your LinkedIn post or page
  • Upload the exported clip
  • Enable auto-captions if desired (LinkedIn may take time to process them)
  • Add a description and hashtags for reach

5. Tips for Best Results

  • Use short, engaging clips (15 - 60 seconds) for higher engagement
  • Preview how your clip appears in LinkedIn’s vertical feed
  • Check captions for accuracy after upload
