Fascinating youtube vid from 4 years ago...
Title: Veed CEO Sabba Keynejad: Hits $1.3m revenue, helping podcasters create videos.
Veed.io now has 10 million 'users' and annual revenues of £19M.
This is where we're going...if we're not taken out beforehand! |
Certainly years ago it was always an incredibly lucrative time being an editor doing political video, huge amounts of $’s from a hosepipe I think less so now. |
If you look at some of the TV adverts aired during the US Election...they are mostly just very skilfully edited clips of seconds which collectively portray a powerful message .. no razzamatazz or goofy features in sight ...
The secret being in the skill of the editor and the story teller...
Caravaggio was a master painter.....but his palette of colours was actually quite limited... the skill was what he was able to do with that |

You are proving my point
You are now confused🤯 |

But do Veeds have any patents? ie do they have any unique technology that makes their editor better than all others.
Plenty of cloud editors that use off the shelf components, but they will fall apart when they have millions of users, because of the shelf software has serious limitations. |
Veeds's Pro level seems similar to ours in price and features, and they have a 4.5* review rating on Trustpilot.... |

Yes this US election coverage is interesting
Legacy Media has died it has little influence, that’s pretty amazing from a historical standpoint.
A lot of clipping and sharing by big influencers but can you imagine if our Blackbird Player was available it would mean EVERYONE could clip and share fast and easily with no tools. |
Hyper 👏 |
competitors can't scale to millions of users without needing a nuclear power station to power the servers. Cheaper to buy Blackbird than a nuclear power station. 🤣 |
Pokerchips Absolutely features don’t tell the whole story
One of the big things that will frustrate users and make them look elsewhere is performance and reliability. Editing is truly an awful experience if you don’t have that. Ask Adobe Premiere users certainly of the past.
We have our man, Sumit, he will make sure elevate has all the features needed and none of the features not!
Keeping the core application simple and elegant is better than hundreds of features that most users don’t need.
Remember elevate has a plug-in architecture this is important design concept as 3rd parties can bring custom features including niche ones to the ‘market place’ |
VEED uses "Free", "Lite", "Pro","Enterprise" pricing ...with Free being pretty useless really,just a "try before you buy" option in reality |
In terms of competitors...
Elevate is looking for market share within just a $6 billion area of the market,( that being a small part of the vast total market) and wont even capture all of that.... so there is plenty of space for competitors
There are c.5.2 billion people aged between 15-64 .... so the future user base potential ..is vast.. |
@cyberpub
video editors are like cars or even Telecom operators...they visually work in much the same way.....but it more about performance and reliability...under the hood...and possibly service/community. Whether you get a few extra GB of storage for your $ isnt going to matter if on the other hand the performance is slower and the system is less reliable...
so..I think lists of features dont tell the whole story...although yes they are useful ..to compare |
Was trying to change the sound volume in a video clip on my phone, I was recommended:
hxxps://www.veed.io/
Cloud based chrome editor available on your phone. |
I am sure that I am not the only one who is following the US Election and the way that it is all debated and discussed...
This time round it is interesting how much of it is debated using video content to get across debate points...and to reach voters
Voters are in affect customers..... customers buying into a vision of the future... as always you aim to get inside the voter/customer head , and stay there
Some YouTube Channels are editing and uploading posts within minutes of filming the content in order to have it so topical and fresh ..
The demand to post it and the demand to watch it...has been extremely high ..
Video can replace a 1000 words... in its affect |
Yes!
It won’t be helpful just confusing |
Crack on then. |
I was referring to consumer/prosumer type video editors, the ones on Bird's competitor grid in their recent presentation. Not the full-fat traditional suites (including Bird's sports/Olympic live editing suite), they aren't relevant. I just think it could be useful to encapsulate how different Elevate is, in a factual list rather than opinions. |
Last time I looked many video editing apps run to 1000 pages of instructions to use those features and multiple courses to go on then you add years of experience
Have too many features and it gets complicated and that’s not what we want.
We have Sumit to product manage elevate to hit the target market I have every confidence
Investors just need to let them get on with it.
All Imho |

We will have to leave it in the capable hands of SS and Ian. |

That would be seriously unhelpful |
Whilst speculation about a potential bidder is understandable the likelihood would be that a bid by a big player would spark others, anxious to protect their own ongoing position. That presents the BoD and shareholders with difficult choices. After all if only months after a launch a bidder offers £10 would that not create the impression that in the longer term a much higher price could be achieved e.g. MSFT stock could once be bought for 8c and has risen since to more than $450.
There is also the position of SBS, IM and SR to consider. elevate.io is their baby and it would be normal for them to want control over how it develops. Would they stay under new owners and how would those owners feel if, for example, SBS decided to exploit his skills and deep knowledge to pursue patentable developments outside BIRD? He would know better than anyone how the existing software could be developed, how that could be achieved cost effectively and what patents would make life difficult for his competitors.
2025 could see interesting times. |
Is there an actual comprehensive list of all current video editors, along with a tick-list of all their features, and which ones are available at free, medium cost and high cost? There is a lot of discussion on this board about competitors and semi-competitors, but it would just be great to be able to see a single, simple, clear list! |
Exactly and same with YouTube and the money it was loosing serious people laughing at the price Google payed back then, now they are laughing at Elon Musk paying so much for Twitter
All about strategy but it has to hyper scale with the big boys |
