Posted at 26/7/2024 09:59 by chriscallen My advisor says that if elevate.io cannnot be used on a mobile it poses several puzzles. How many people film on their mobiles? How many people have a laptop that can be used to film directly? How many people who create video will be bothered to download it to a laptop and even if they do what then is BIRDs competitive advantage over non Cloud Native solutions? Why do so many of their pictures feature mobile phones if their new major product does not work with mobiles? How many people have a mobile but no laptop?If mobiles cannot be used it severely limits BIRDs potential market. So the people at BIRD are clever and having a response that says you need a laptop to access elevate.io does not mean that the software will not work on a mobile. It's simply their choice not to make it available now. It could be that they want to make it a big announcement when they release the paying product. It would certainly get publicity and open the door to a much wider market which would concern competitors. It is conceivable that they want to include it in the more expensive options. But the obvious question is why develop a product that cannot be used by the vast market of mobile users, a market which is growing fast and which the likes of NBC are seeking to harness? Has BIRD misjudged the market and are they now about to miss the bus again? |
Posted at 25/7/2024 12:15 by chriscallen jamesjmb It's a direct consequence of having EVS as a customer. BIRD gets revenue from EVS for the usage of its software which is a the heart of a major EVS offering and in addition a potential profit share on top. EVS have the Paris contract so the Olympics are their customer not BIRDs. The only way an announcement can be made by BIRD is if the fees earned from EVS from one of their customers are so large as to become price sensitive and even then to name the parties would usually require their permission. The usual rule of thumb is from memory 10% of turnover or 5% of profits (the latter having no bearing on BIRD currently) |
Posted at 21/7/2024 11:50 by chriscallen The key advantage that elevate.io has it that it is Cloud Native and it has access to the BIRD patented software. I don't see BIRD agreeing to let competitors use their technology. So the ChromeBooks market is effecively closed off unless they have a way to make more memory available that does not sit on the ChromeBook. Apple and the others have very fast hardware but is it faster than BIRDs software?Google certainly know BIRD because some years ago SBS said when he met them that he had solved a problem that they had tackled (with lots of manpower and money) and declared impossible and proceeded to show them. I don't think that the silence from Alphabet, MSFT or AWS means that they are not interested. They must know that the market is growing very fast and AWS played a significant part in helping BIRD solve some of their problems. But they won't want to let their competitors get wind of what they may do so if anything is in the wind there will be NDAs. BIRD said they would not deal exclusively wih AWS and that implies they will not do so with any of the big 3. That seems a very sensible position. If I were a big player in Video Editing I would be very worried about elevate.io because it certainly looks like it has disruptive technology that it will be difficult to counter. The Figma fiasco shows that bids would be difficult to get accepted. If BIRD really can grow elevate.io exponentially (per SR/IM at the AGM) the problem is coming down the track like a TGV. |
Posted at 11/7/2024 17:49 by sideshowbull BIRD faithfull - reall BIRDers how do I explain it?If you did not manage to aquire ANY as were "scared as this game is not for you".. RISK , FEAR , GREED , FOMO. I have always had the mantra get in with the largest amount you are willing to lose, then add at points you are happy to lose if sold a tiny bit of intial investment.(other shares talking about). Building a position come to mind? I have been my position for ages. I just use the buy and hold model I can hold my BIRD no margin - so a little different.. AIM position is fking hard work TBF so don't blame the flip flops. Wonder if just holding and adding may have been more benificail to all those experts? I am am a BIRDER. So no advice BWTFDIK |
Posted at 03/7/2024 17:46 by sideshowbull This TA to follow is in my own opinion and not advice.BIRD has had a constant drip seller for ages, which just created such a negative vibe and share price Most who follow BIRD would have seen it... Any decent update. They would sell. Not going to mention names but it was relentless. Waterboarding PIs IMO If you managed to keep the BIRD faith after that you are a true BIRDER IMO I am, and they can all go and do you know what. I am all in..

Posted at 02/7/2024 17:13 by sideshowbull Would love investors to add to my brief comment below, most don't understand how different we are and what we can do that other platforms can't.No one understands what BIRD do or how well they do it. Some of us in take for granted that most understand. Have play of their (will be released in will be soon) consumer ((all in one platform for the content creators)). It's basically film your own stuff, edit yourself(as good as a pro) release your content to all the socials and as a plus BIRD has a new place to put you stuff (new youtube too ) Also creators using BIRD product have full monetization of their content in house and control all the rights. It is a serious game changer in this sector. Give it a crack. PS remember BIRD is being used for Olympics in Paris, mind boggles. Sign up for a free dable. BWTFDIK |
Posted at 24/6/2024 07:15 by chriscallen 24 June 2024Blackbird plc (the "Company") Director/PDMR dealing Blackbird plc (AIM: BIRD), the technology licensor, developer and seller of market-leading cloud native video editing platform, Blackbird, and developer of the multiplayer video editor in a browser, elevate.io, was informed on 21 June 2024, that Stephen White, Chief Operating and Financial Officer, bought 300,000 ordinary shares of 0.8 pence each in the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") at 3.768p per Ordinary Share. Following the above purchase Stephen White now has a total beneficial interest in 1,009,828 Ordinary Shares, equivalent to approximately 0.26 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital. |
Posted at 18/6/2024 09:56 by gb904150 "We have taken decisive action against our M&E cost base last year and this year and, as previously stated, are targeting an EBITDA break even for the Blackbird division in 2024."I take this statement to mean solely the Blackbird division (M&E) that is targeting EBITDA break even. That is not to say that BIRD as a whole company will be EBITDA breakeven. i.e. they have cut costs in M&E and that single division will be breakeven. But on top of that they have centralised costs, including BOD pay and the ongoing development and marketing costs of elevate.io. BIRD is not intending to be breakeven for a long time. So how much funding will it need? And how will it be funded? Crucially: elevate.io is in the planned general release phase and, although not yet at a chargeable grade So the real question is - when does the BOD expect elevate to be at a 'chargeable grade'? When will it start generating revenues? That will be the key thing - when is it good enough that people will actually pay for it. That is the proof of the pudding. Many expected 'general release' to be exactly that. Now we know it's not. But now it has become 'some date in the future'. But it's pretty important to know when will it be? |
Posted at 18/6/2024 00:09 by papillon 🤣 🤣 I'm not delusional, cynic1. Why? Because I haven't lost a single penny on BIRD/FBT shares despite the BIRD/FBT share price collapsing over the years. That's because I've never bought them! 😂 😂I noticed that you only appear to post on BIRD and have been an advfn member since 2001. How much have you lost on BIRD/FBT shares over that time? I suspect you have never sold any of your BIRD/FBT shares and have continually averaged down. How much are your BIRD/FBT shares currently worth compared with the money you've spent on them over the years? Yet you think I'm delusional! You're a fool cynic1. I've Filtered you as you have nothing worth saying. |
