Your spot on mate, I think you best sell all your shares ASAP. |
competing with Capcut as against DaVinci Resolve at a guess |
watched the adobe video - recommendation for davinci. I used it myself years ago to do a music video and it worked fine. I assume from the adobe video guy creator laptops are better these days and can handle davinci. No need for hard drives, use google drive. Do small time creators collaborate during editing?
A snails pace with eva.io. Wish they'd hurry up so at least we can properly gauge success or failure.
To recap, BIRD. A company with a patent for poor broadband that runs in the cloud instead of using the modern high powered laptops of semi professional creators. Advantages of running in the cloud are you cannot edit if your wifi crashes so time to relax and also you could collaborate during editing with your imaginary co-editor.

You are correct those are the visitors to the stall by 'The Immersive Futures Lab' who are based in Bath, England.
I think that turnout is impressive. |
Concentrate.
I assumed the 1k related just to visitors to the British stand at an international show. |
Looks decent, but 1k visitors is nothing?
Even quite niche industry trade shows can have 10k visitors. Bigger ones 100k.
(response to 20254, hadn't realised there was a whole page more of posts) |
Offer up..
100k @ 7.675p
250k at 7.875p |
There is nothing in the RNS to suggest we are 'chasing grants', it also clearly states the trip is 'fully-funded'.
Detail people, detail.
This is great news. |
Last year’s grant notice
Government gives out investment grants a big part of the DTI purpose! |
I have no problem with us being at SXSW, which will cost us upwards of £25k, I would have thought.
It's the grant chasing I object to. |

It suggests that the elevate version is close. |

😔🥴Looks like I've lost track, think I will go to sleep for a while.😴 |
If my memory is correct many years ago Adobe used SXSW as for its major push into getting its video editor adopted by filmmakers, it worked.
I’m really happy about todays news, fantastic event for us. |
The update next week is to Blackbird M&E platform, not elevate.io |
As much communication as possible is essential over next 6 months, certainly at B2B level
After next week's elevate.io updat I hope we can all get out and promote it. |
Exactly Nick.
This is about contacts, in the right place at the right time, not grant funding. |

Exactly, big players attend. For those who could not be bothered to click on my previous link, an Adobe formatted PDF file, here is a quote from it
"The 2024 event exceeded Creative Economy Team’s best attendance, with over
1.5k visitors and a staggering list of blue-chip companies from a range of key
sectors visiting.
● Approx 1k+ visitors to the lab across the 3 days
● 43 countries represented
● 53 university and government agencies represented
● Companies visited included: Adobe, Red Bull Media House GmbH, Universal Pictures, BBC, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Magic Leap, Netflix, Dentsu Creative, Weber Shandwick, IDEO, Wieden+Kennedy, Ogilvy, Chanel, Estee Lauder Companies, Mattel, Globant, DeepMotion, Dentsu Inc., Moment Factory, Walt Disney Imagineering, Epic Games, Mutek, Automattic, Sony Group Corporation" |
Timing is good
Are they going to do a real launch I couldn’t think of a better place. |
The real news is we will be at SXSW
Many of you probably won’t realise how important that event is and who attends
Definitely not an ego trip imho.
Go and research SXSW |
Getting a funded trip to a creator related world showcase shouldn't be dismissed. The cost would have been 10k upwards depending on scale of attendance from blackbird team. 10k for.more targeted ads is how I see it. Also if a few creative teams attending see elevate.io and get it then could be some return on someone else's money re higher tier subscriptions next year. But happy to be corrected. |
The government has agreed £500m to Tata for new steel furnaces.
I see no reason why the UK creator economy can not get some support, particularly for a disruptive technology. Blackbird obviously have to engage with government departments for this to happen. It's worth putting some effort into this. |

I agree with you in some respects. It's important to balance the effort with the financial benefits. I think making the UK government aware of our potential for the UK economy is important. We have gained all the R&D tax benefits over decades, it makes sense that the government know that we are about to takeover the global video editing and viewing scene, and if they can offer some support over the final hurdle it should be much appreciated. |
Today's news is irrelevant to where we are, our business model and where we want to be.
I have zero expectation any government body is of any relevance for business.
Let alone ours in such a niche.
Feels like a vanity project. |
