Thanks pat_cash for explanation. |
Again, just to be clear, I’m a huge fan of Blackbird, elevate, SS, IM and SR. I’ve also invested an awful lot of money so you know where my loyalties lie. That doesn’t say it blinds me to what appears to be fairly obvious IMHO. I can’t tell you how keen I am to introduce elevate to my company. Not yet though. I believe/hope that all is in hand. |
NickB. Elevate is an excellent product! It just doesn’t have enough for me to use it just yet. One of the core things we do is interviewing delighted clients and creating video clips. We may spend an hour interviewing to get two minutes. At the moment I can’t differentiate video clips on the timeline because there is no splurge feature or thumbnails. Then, I have no way of dealing with the bottom third. How does the video introduce who a client is and their company logo? I can do that in a thrice on Camtasia, and we’ll continue to use it until elevate can add some of these core features. There’s no way that nice-to-have collaborative editing trumps have-to-have features. |
Just to be clear, I think Sumit is a class act. Of that there is no question.
At the same time, I can’t deny my own experience as part of their target market.
I suspect the answer is that they will work hard to introduce features to make it appealing to me and my company - now about 110 strong. I’m looking forward to it. |
The broadcasters and events are using Blackbird’s tech via the Blackbird editor or it embedded in a partner’s product e.g. EVS, rather than elevate.io itself. So they probably don’t feature the logos on the elevate.io website as it would be misleading. Once they start signing up corporate accounts or decent creators to elevate.io I imagine they’ll feature them as social proof. |
I've been watching this for a while. Have just looked at the website and elevate interface - pretty smooth.Does anyone here have a channel to the company? The website says "trusted by the world's biggest broadcasters and events"Constructively, the website needs some social proof - logos of those broadcasters and events would make a massive difference to sign up.Can anyone here ask for that to be added to the website? |

That’s correct. |
The technology works, there is a very competent team in place to deliver a world beating product, all of the direcors have been successful in the past. The only questions as yet unresolved when the paying software is released are: how fast users can be recruited and how many will become paying customers. On that score now 2 of the NEDs have the experience and skills to make BIRD fly. |
Agreed. The management here must be one of the best on AIM, which is full of chancers. That doesn't guarantee success by any means, but at least it gives us the best shot. |
Invest 360,
Are you saying to us that you feel you have a better understanding than Summit regarding what elevate's target marketplace needs?
This is what Summit is totally focused on and he has track record of achievement in this field.
SS said in the last Investor Meets Company meeting that Summit is a totally excellent product man in this marketplace. |

I still don’t understand why you think elevate doesn’t have any core competencies. |
I am saying woooooooooshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I’m saying both/and. |
I get it, but I can only imagine that Figma had to have a lot of core competencies for it to even be considered. Only then can collaboration come to the fore. You can’t have a really basic system where collaboration is the only thing.
The reason I sometimes use Google sheets to collaborate is because it does everything Excel can do. If it was too basic, I wouldn’t use it, and the collaboration becomes a secondary consideration that never makes it out the gate. |

"One feature that could/ should be added is XML /EDL export
Which is editing data that can build your elevate timeline in another editing application so early collaborative cloud editing to get everything correct story wise in elevate then export to a Finishing on prem editing app.
So you could take your project near the end to Davinci for high end pro Finish
Super powerful!
Maybe a partnership with Blackmagic Design😀
Will they do it"?
Lets ask?
They read
Done..

Yes collaboration is for us an easy obvious USP
I suspect you will find Collaboration will be more used by the paid accounts rather than individual free accounts who will be more casual users working on their own.
People who earn money ‘working’; as video ‘creators̵7; will be working with and for others so they have to collaborate in some form.
Some potential users may have to use other solutions this is normal now in the pro world who have many different software packages to get the job done.
Everything you need is possible and people can get familiar with elevate at zero cost to them. |
Collaboration should be the USP, and elevate.io gets that. Cloud native seamless iteration, feedback, and teamwork, all happening instantly, anywhere. As video creation becomes increasingly collaborative, elevate.io will be the platform to make it happen.Remember their mantra a year ago? "Everything you need, nothing you don't." That vision is still unfolding. The marketplace will be key for those who want extra, offering a tailored feature set for every user.Week by week, elevate.io is iterating and improving. This is a platform that is only getting stronger. |
Hopefully disruptive technology will deliver much more than just collaboration. |
Collaboration is in the DNA of the architecture it’s a next generation design not a re hash of old design.
We are emulating Figma as the poster company and that is all about collaboration.
If you are not working in Teams it’s difficult to appreciate Collaboration and how it affects the process.
There is no one tool that satisfies all the different needs people have.
Any specific features you need should be told to Sumit and team. |
 This seems like my constant refrain: I get that collaboration will eventually takeoff for video editing. I really do. However, my worry is that they may be banking on it as their Ace card. For me, when I come to the interface, I can see it hardly does anything and I think “Nah, I’ll stick with Camtasia because, even though it’s buggy and annoying in some ways, it does the core things I absolutely need it to do.” The problem is, I need finishing tools, and elevate.io doesn’t have any, so if I’m going to use it, I need to import all sorts of third-party media using tools I haven’t learnt to finish my project before I can publish it. But I’ve learnt how to use all the finishing tools in Camtasia already (if it ain’t broke don’t fix it), and I value that much more highly than collaboration. My theory is that if I moved over to elevate.io, I’d really enjoy using all of the tools (if they were there), including the API/SDK links to cloud provider’s tools I never even knew I needed. From there, to discover the joys of collaboration. But, I’m not going to sacrifice the finishing and other tools for collaboration because it’s just not my priority. At least not yet. And, given how new this idea is and how much they’re trying to educate the entire bleeding market, I think pretty much everybody is in the same boat as me. I completely get that in, say, 2 years it may be the thing I can’t do without, but that’s not what I’m looking for right now. I’d be a big fan of them completing the product with absolutely essential items to deal with the bottom third/finishing, etc, before they tried to go to market on a ‘collaboration is it’ ticket. All IMHO. |
