Today, Vimeo is launching 4K video support—sort of. Pro subscribers will now be able to offer 4K downloads of their videos. (They have to be 4K videos to begin with, duh.) 4K streaming is "in the works," according to Vimeo, but there are no concrete plans to launch a streaming option at this time.

Vimeo's ordering up its first batch of original content for its on-demand service in the form of six episodes of the hilarious web series High Maintenance. No word on how much individual episodes will cost.

Vimeo is experimenting with animated thumbnails for videos, which actually sounds like a pretty wonderful idea. It's currently only live on two videos, and the service will be adding to some of its "Staff Picks" going forward. Here's hoping for a wider roll out.
