After uploading a video or saving your video from Vimeo’s creation and editing tool, you may see the status Optimization Pending for longer than anticipated.
The time it takes for a video to finish optimizing depends on the size and encoding of your source video or project.
If you notice the Optimization Pending screen lasts longer than 30 minutes, please validate that your video matches our compression guidelines. You may re-upload your video if needed or try saving it once more from the creation and editing tool.
If this doesn’t help and your video is once again stuck on the Optimization Pending screen for longer than 30-minutes, please contact Support for further assistance.
In your message, please include the URL of the video that you are trying to upload and an estimate of how long it was stuck on the Optimization Pending screen.
