How to Turn Vimeo Videos into X (Twitter) Clips
To create X (Twitter) clips from a Vimeo video, download your original file, then use Vidulk’s AI Clipper to produce short, vertical, captioned clips sized for X’s specs.

Step 1: Download Your Vimeo Video
First, ensure you have rights to the Vimeo video. Log in to your Vimeo account and download the original file for best quality. This gives you the source material needed for high-resolution X clips.
Step 2: Understand X (Twitter) Video Specs
- Length: Non-Premium users: up to 2:20 (140 seconds). Premium: up to 2 hours at 1080p, or 4 hours at 720p.
- Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (landscape or portrait), or 1:1 (square) recommended. Range: 1:3 to 3:1 supported.
- Resolution: 1280x720 (landscape), 720x1280 (portrait), or 720x720 (square).
- Captions: X supports SRT subtitle files attached to videos uploaded on web.
Step 3: Use Vidulk’s AI Clipper for Fast, Automated Editing
Open Vidulk on iOS or Android. Upload your downloaded Vimeo video. Vidulk’s AI automatically finds the best moments - such as highlights from talks, courses, or brand films - and turns them into short, vertical clips. The app sizes these clips for X’s vertical (9:16) or square (1:1) format and adds captions directly to the video for maximum accessibility and engagement.
Step 4: Export and Upload to X (Twitter)
- Export your finished clips from Vidulk.
- For captioning, you can use the burned-in captions from Vidulk or attach an SRT file if uploading via X’s web interface.
- Upload the clip to X, ensuring it meets the duration and resolution requirements for your account type.
Tips for Best Results
- Keep clips under 2:20 for widest compatibility.
- Use vertical (9:16) or square (1:1) aspect ratios for mobile-first engagement.
- Burned-in captions from Vidulk maximize accessibility if you don’t want to use SRT files.
Vidulk's AI clipper (free to start, iOS + Android) finds the best moments in a long video and exports captioned vertical clips sized for the destination.
