Salmon9,
You're some fellow. |

It looks like the video has thankfully now been taken down. |
Bonio, Pat, thanks to both of you.
Last AGM (I think, time flies, could be earlier) I asked if EVS had yet exceeded their guaranteed minimum payment, and the answer was 'no'. It's perhaps its worth asking again at the next Zoom or in person meeting, though if the answer is still 'no' it rather washes our dirty linen in public.
PS. I'm glad to see the video has gone. Fast work! |
What video at top?
I don't see it. |
Thanks Salmon |
‘I can’t see many people paying up for elevate.io unless they come up with some big updates.’
elevate is an excellent video editor as it is why dismiss that?
Investors really don’t appreciate what has been accomplished and there is probably nothing to be added features wise that would make big tech companies interested in acquiring us.
IMHO
In terms of commerciality perhaps the number one feature for pro paid users will be increased storage.
I would have thought that is an easy feature to add on the paid version. |

Regarding your post number 21678.
As ever, I think you have a profoundly accurate understanding of what is currently going on.
Due to the complexity of Blackbird's technology and what they are setting out to achieve, I think your quote, shown below is totally correct. It takes alot of time and effort, especially if you are investor like me, who is not technically experienced in video editing, to comprehend what the opportunity is and how well equipped Blackbird/elevate is to achieve it.
Your quote is: " Personally I’m not sure this kind of investment is suitable for most people as they won’t put the work in so will get stressed by it all."
The fact is that BB have developed, and are very much still developing an amazing video editing product with some real competitive advantages.
Now that the BB team is strengthened by the new very relevantly experienced NEDs, the whole team, with huge determination, is developing a calculated, tuned in product with a carefully focused plan to succeed.
IMHO the share price is stuck in the doldrums because of the lack of investor understanding, the current lack of publicity directed at investors, and the fact that some institutional investors have been selling to maintain their liquidity.
I expect the real publicity will begin once the product is nearer to completion of the initial subscription edition. Hopefully we will then see the excitement in the video editing marketplace and the investment marketplace that we have been waiting for.
In the meantime, I think it would be helpful if the totally negative video at the top of this page is taken down. It is totally misleading since it gives no recognition of the significant progress currently being assembled behind the scenes. The BOD have a right to expect more respect to be shown by an apparent investor. |
Re VIA Map - scroll down below link to "VIA MAP applications" on left. Click "Create" - this is our tech IPD-Via Create. Presumably we get a cut of everyone who signs up to VIA Map as Create doesn't appear to be an optional component. |
Miton UK MicroCap Trust
"the Board has concluded that it is in the best interests of shareholders to put forward proposals for a voluntary winding up of the Company. The Board is however also conscious both of shareholders’ positive views of the investment manager and of the depressed valuations currently present in UK small and micro-cap companies, and as such has started discussions with Premier Miton about putting forward a scheme of reconstruction under section 110 of the Insolvency Act 1986 and voluntary winding-up of the Company (the "Scheme") through a rollover into one of Premier Miton’s open-ended funds" |
Lazy f...
I believe VIA-MAP is the product we have been integrated into? |
bonio, I assume the text you quote in post 21681 is an extract from the EVS web page referenced in your post 21680. Forgive me being lazy, but could you point out how (and how closely) that data relates to BIRD's PBB? |
Let’s hope it reflects in the numbers, as they are going to struggle to raise money in these markets at moment, and I can’t see many people paying up for elevate.io unless they come up with some big updates. |
You'd think this time next year, if not before, there will be discussions about extending the deal, otherwise I assume EVS has no rights to use our Tech.
Hopefully we can up the fee, although I assume the agreement probably has a right to renew and a ratchet to stop us screwing them over.
"This news follows the Company’s announcement, on 7 September 2021, that a global broadcast company (now announced as EVS) had licensed the Company’s core video technology, including its patented video codec technology, for a 5 year period in a deal worth a minimum €2 million over the contract length. The minimum contract value comprises both a development fee and license fees for editor seats and channel feeds added to the new applications which are underpinned by annual minimum guarantees." |
At least there is some traction. |
EVS, TATA and PBB.
Roflol. |
I forgot about PBB.
That was the next big thing.
I’m still waiting for the big shockwave. |
"We received exceptionally positive feedback not only on our solutions like Mediaception VIA MAP and our LiveCeption GenAI-powered live video effects, such as XtraMotion, but also on our recent acquisition of MOG Technologies and our minority investment in Tinkerlist."
"MediaCeption’s demonstrations highlighted new integrations with MOG Technologies, expanding workflow capabilities to meet needs beyond broadcast-specific applications. More and more instances of VIA-MAP are being fully operational after integration projects. The commercial traction is continuously increasing across all regions, creating opportunities for large multi-million projects." |

This could be a great investment for our farmers!
‘Bet the farm’…on Blackbird before the government takes it off you 😮 |

IF the share price performs to unicorn status I want as many shares as possible so a very low share price is highly desirable for me in this particular company only.
It’s just one strategy and only works if you want say a million plus shares and are very comfortable in the opportunity or of course your financial situation.
Another strategy is to buy on the way up on strength
which is the best strategy for most investors
A third general investor strategy maybe buy 15,000 for about £1k and leave it for a very useful pay off.
Personally I’m not sure this kind of investment is suitable for most people as they won’t put the work in so will get stressed by it all.
But that’s what makes a market
Wild card is we get our bid, and you will definitely want those shares in your account so fear of missing out has to be thought through. |

That strategy would work with organic growth, however if a takeover bid came in the hike in share price would be instant - good for those already in - not so good for those watching and waiting 'to see the tide turn'.
Being in now covers both potential scenarios.

It's not Nick, but why buy now. If we are truly talking about a multi multi bagger is it not prudent to wait until the tide starts to turn? Why have your money in a share that does nothing. Just my take, watching, but nothing tells me to buy this at the moment. |
Gives some idea of Google search performance.
You need to click the drop down for figures in specific countries - U.S. as expected has the largest numbers.
It gives numbers for organic search (currently 262 clicks per month) and paid keyword results. Spyfu suggests Bird pays for 9 keywords. Seems like 'chromebook video editor' and variations are the most popular searches. |
