hey folks - long time
"introduce the option to duplicate an existing project?"
mentioned this to support before, fundamental really. also access to some kind of restorable version history though expect this tied to team working / review so quite meaty. have lost edits couple of times when undo history has been lost, little red icon appeared, was a while ago now so might have been addressed. nevertheless some kind of auto save and access to that history will be a must for people who edit for a living. golden rule - don't lose the customer's data. if we can be the least flaky offering out there that would count for a lot. |
Pat
Yes I would like something like that |
NickB - would it make sense for them to introduce the option to duplicate an existing project? I don't think you can atm…? If you could then you could upload your various digital brand assets, arrange them in different ways on the timeline, and then every time you want to create a new video you could duplicate that project and work from there, deleting what you don’t need…it’d be like a starting template. |
I think the company generally gets most of its shareholder feedback from the GUILD, but especially the CULT, threads. |

Okay
A good request you could make that should be very easy for them to do is to assign a colour to each clip in the browser
Interview 1 colour Blue
Interview 2 colour yellow
On and on
The clips in the timeline would then be that colour depending on which intv clip is being used
This is normal editing practice with say an Avid
Re bottom 3rd captions (again the often used pro method)
What I do is make them in a graphics package perhaps with your company logo then export them as a PNG with alpha channel
They import into elevate great
You could just make the background of the title and use basic text for the name.
Hope that helps
I suspect you will soon see gfx templates
We now have a colour generator next could be a shape generator |
Invest360 makes a good point, as a user, about currently missing essential features of elevate.Is there a good route or channel anyone here knows of to get that feedback into the company and actioned? |
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? |
Chris
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
