Vimeo generator

With this generator you are able to select one of your Vimeo albums to automatically generate slides from its videos.

Tutorial

1

Create an App at Vimeo.

2

Give an App Name, an App Description and write your website's url into the App URL.

3

Go to our Global Settings → Generators → Vimeo and copy out the Callback url.

4

Go back to your App, click on +Add Callback and paste our Callback url here.

5

Answer the last three questions. Pick "No" for the charge and ad support. The platform will be "Web server".

6

Agree on the terms and press Create app.

7

After this your app is ready. Click on Authentication and copy out the Client Identifier and Client Secrets.

8

Go back to our backend Global Settings → Generators → Vimeo and paste the Client identifier and Client secret there. Then press Request token.

9

This will bring up a popup window, where you should Allow the authorization. (If the popup won't appear, your browser probably blocks it, so you should change its settings.)

After this a Token will appear and you can move on creating your slider.

To get started, go to any Slider Settings page and add a new dynamic slide. Choose Vimeo.

When you're done, click on Add.
