The original master file is 7G in total. I comment on the video quality since I know some pro directors who also uses Vimeo to post some of their scenes. Of course they are using RED machines so the original file looks way better than mine. But given the quality after their compression, I don't want to feel like that 'this is what I can get from online sites for others to see', with much better file in hand. So I wonder is there any other ways to maximize the quality of delivery?

De-noising to take the grain out of the finished file and give you better treatment from the Vimeo (or any other) encoder.

The battle for video encoding bits to be spent in the right places happens at all stages.
