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. 🤣 |

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.

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 |
John
Yes they are genuinely very ambitious and rightly so.
It will be fascinating to see when the realisation light bulb moment in the stock market happens but every shareholder holds tight imho |

You think a few months of revenue growth will convince shareholders of a 2 Trillion $ company?
Whatever big tech pay they will multi X it
Video is incredibly valuable at scale and goes well beyond a monthly subscription calculation |
Remember that big tech companies have shareholders to keep happy. They need to convince them that purchasing another Company will pay off in the future. That's not so easy to do at this moment. Give it another six months or less, when income is flowing and projections easier to make then their job will be a lot easier even if it costs them more at that point |
I would also remind people of IM’s stated aim of building a company worth “tens of billions”, and no one else at that presentation so much as blinked.
Selling for £2billion, £4billion or even £6billion isn’t going to happen, at least not voluntarily.
We don’t know what the future holds, but someone, somewhere, holds the key.
I would imagine the wheels turn very slowly in any large potential purchaser of elevate.io. |
