Given in over a couple of years we got to where we are with the released version, including coming up for 9 months post general release.
There seems a lot of hope that somehow behind the curtain there is a bells and whistles version packed with stuff already done that is materially different to where we are. |
NickB I use the news service on YouTube because it usually has a wider international coverage. I think the Adobe adverts started appearing a couple of weeks ago and I have never seen them in the many years before. As experience has taught me that coincidences are rare in the business world I wondered what triggered it.
mcsean2164 Obviously some of the benefits of using elevate.io have to be shown but I think the more innovative and jaw dropping features should be reserved for paying versions release day. Your view on this will be influenced by how you think any competitors are likely to react... and the important ones have very deep pockets. |
Why would elevate.io show it's hand before it has to?
I don't know how to answer that. We're in early access (showing our hand) which is common approach for software companies and shows our hand. Do you mean turn on payments and then show there is no market for elevate, showing that hand?
Adobe seems to be putting out a lot of adverts for its products on YouTube.
You're in the algorithm 👩8187;
To summarize, 40k registrations.
We cannot give away the product. Just put in some transitions and subtitles like capcut and it might be sellable. Maybe showing our hand is adding a few simple transitions and effects? |
Profiling you for video editing perhaps |

It’s easy for me to put out ideas here but the company has to be more professional and guarded in what it talks about
I’m sure all the good ideas (if any) I have had they have already got it covered and then some.
They know what they are doing but the opportunity is so great it needs very careful navigation by Ian and Sumit to get to a great destination. |
They would presumably be very well placed and experienced to carry out an evaluation of our offering. |
"Adobe have Scenery."
adobe hiring a crop of scenery developers who had not succeeded in building a viable web based video editor, to build adobe a web based video editor, feels like a boon for bb. |
totally agree chriscallen ... i think we are keeping things close, and for sure the strategy on launch is going to be good i think, hopefully adventurous! [although not as adventurous as jaguar] |
Why would elevate.io show it's hand before it has to? Better to keep potential competitors off balance and cut the time they have available to respond effectively. |
Hopefully there will be a big unveiling at paid launch - otherwise they best start chatting the broker. |
Nick, your enthusiasm and ideas are surely appreciated all of us here. But why are you having to come up with suggestions? My question is what are all the 'brilliant' appointments of the last year or so bringing to the party, and where is the evidence of their value. Time is passing by quickly and the one thing you don't have in the tech world, is lots of time. |
I think a good marketing strategy would be to somehow reach out to Canva users a great target group. |
Great examples why companies need internal comms videos.
It’s not new but is really ramping up now.
A similar onboarding use case is in Education and Schools
A number of schools are making videos about the school and its culture to help onboard new students
Every School needs elevate and Canva
Every business also!
The more that embrace it the more pressure is on the laggards. |

come on then guys, own up
who made the £ 666 purchase? |
Didn't we discount Veed as a competitor some time ago? I can't remember why? |
Cc,
Veed are cloud native too
The patents are for a codec for people with slow broadband and some other features. If veed can be veed without paying a license....
No need for misinformation. |
Twelve Labs have just had an upgrade as well. Seems they like us are progressing along nicely. |
"Is Blackbird Disruptive technology?"
Reasonable question.
It allows for full video editing in the cloud via a browser at hyper scale. Something, it seems, that no-one has managed to achieve.
It's a big advance, but it's still just plain old video editing for the masses, so I suppose it doesn't quite qualify for 'disruptive'. |
When people question why a big company hasn't stepped forward, I think we need to consider two possibilities. One is that it is exactly that, and the other is that we may be say a number of months into confidential discussions with one or more parties. IMHO
We would be the last to know. However, we have seen exceptional enthusiasm from the BOD during recent presentations. |
With what Blackbird now have on the table, as solid evidence of patent protected unique performance and value, in a very valuable marketplace, I would expect that if they decide to raise more money in 2025, then surely there would be a venture capital fund that would see this as an attractive investment with potentially amazing upside potential and low downside risk.
They would have avoided the years of heartache and waiting, and arrived just in time for the grand finale and standing ovation!
Hopefully fundraising won't be necessary! |
