How to Share Vine Videos on Tumblr

When Twitter launched Vine Thursday it omitted one important social network from its sharing options: Tumblr. Looped GIF images are extremely popular on Tumblr, so the audience there for Vine videos is potentially huge.

Just because there?s no native way to share Vines on Tumblr, doesn?t mean you can?t share your creations on the site. Here are few different ways you can include Vine videos in your Tumblr posts:

Upload Directly To Tumblr

If you want to share your Vine on Tumblr, one of the easiest ways is to just upload it directly to your Tumblr from your iOS device using Tumblr's app.

Every Vine you create is automatically saved to the camera roll on your device. To upload to Tumblr:

• Launch the Tumblr app on your phone
• Create a new post
• Select video from the options
• Choose existing video
• Select the Vine you?d like to upload from the video clips stored on your phone

Vine videos shared this way will just play through once rather than loop. To get that looped effect, you can import the video clip into your favorite mobile video editor (Splice is a good example, but there are many others) and copy it several times, laying the copies down on the timeline, one after another. Once you?ve reached your desired length, export the video and upload it just as you would a traditional video through Tumblr.

If you don?t have a video editor on your phone, you can email the clip to yourself from your phone?s Photo Library and edit it on your computer instead.

Embed a Tweet

Embedding a tweet on Tumblr is the easiest way to share the looped version of your Vine. To embed a tweet:

• Share your Vine on Twitter
• Go to Twitter.com
• Click on the More button on the tweet associated with your Vine
• Select Embed Tweet
• Copy the code generated by Twitter and add it to a post on Tumblr

If you don?t want to share all your Vines through your own Twitter stream but want the ability to embed them, consider creating a Twitter account just for your Vines. Once you tweet them, you?ll be able to copy/paste tweets or links to your Vine from your special account to your main account fairly easily, and you won't pollute your traditional Twitter stream.

Upload To Your Favorite Video Service

iOS devices offer the ability to upload video clips directly from your Photo Library to YouTube.

Vine video files are saved as MOV?s so you can upload the file to almost any video service and then embed that player into your Tumblr blog.
