A big part of the reason for the problem in this post is because Vimeo made it impossible to move videos from one Vimeo product to another Vimeo product: "There were roughly 500 videos on VimeoOTT that had to be transferred to Enterprise and Vimeo doesn't provide an easy way of doing it."
I have found working with Vimeo to be very frustrating, especially recently. They have a great video solution, especially for streaming, but they seem to put these unnecessary and frustrating roadblocks that make me constantly question my decision to use Vimeo. From in ability to move videos from one place to another, requiring complete uploads (resulting in problems like this post) to nonsensical limits and pricing, especially on their new webinar offering, which has a limit of 100 registered attendees. For anyone who has run webinars before, this makes no sense since 100 registered attendees usually means 20-30% of those people actually attend, so you're capped at 20-30 live attendees. They should price it like most event sites and charge per live attendance rather than registration.
Regardless, I've been very frustrated with Vimeo since it could be so much better if they didn't have these roadblocks in place. If they could have easily enabled moving videos from one product to another, the post (and 7TB of lost videos) would never have happened. It wasn't always this way with Vimeo, but they went IPO in May 2021 and it's no surprise they're turning the screws on their product offering and pricing now.
