Vimeo Acquires Cameo Video Editing App

Vimeo has acquired Cameo a video editing and effects app for iOS.

Cameo allows you to easily create beautiful short films on your own or with friends. Cameo is the first app to bring professional-grade video effects and styles to users of any skill level.

Re/code first announced the acquisition:


Vimeo CEO Kerry Trainor isn’t releasing financial details, so it’s easy to assume this is a relatively standard “acqhire” deal, though Trainor says that’s not the case. All 14 of the company’s employees are supposed to go to work at Vimeo, and Trainor says Vimeo will keep running Cameo as a standalone app — just like it did a year ago when it bought Echograph, a GIF-making app.

“This is a case where the product itself is really great, and we’re really excited about it,” said Trainor. “We are absolutely going to be building on it.”

You can download Cameo from the App Store for free.
