Amazon AWS have various different storage products
We use the fastest for the Blackbird codec video files but it’s an interesting question if we can use a slower storage for the large master files that only need to be used in export ??
I would imagine if you cancel your subscription then those files go into deep archive that is very slow but very cheap. |

Interesting take
Maybe check out the other companies |
>>I wonder if content not in active use within the editor is temporarily moved to lower 'access speed' memory so that it does not impact high quality server time?
we haven't just plug and played into the Amazon cloud, i'm sure they've worked on a custom solution which is why they've taken so long ... servers are now stacked up with multiple TB very fast access SSDs. Amazon are also the experts in this, as far as i know it's the biggest part of their business. i'm certain fast access has been a big part of the development, after all a cloud service is no good unless access is instant. |
Oh dear. Thrilling news? I wish they wouldn't go down these ego cul-de-sacs. |
Not sure the relevance of Grow London to a consumer product.
But still.
Clearly the market not impressed with the sign up of 20 shareholders.
Work to be done. |

AI is a powerful tool alongside elevate.
It increases the skill of the editor/ creator
On one recent project I edited in elevate
I used Ai to write a voice over script I used an Ai voice to read it AI text generator to save typing for the captions
And that’s before we have AI plugins or partnerships
Note the billions of $ being invested in generative Ai video needs somewhere to go and that obviously is an video editor and a creator. |
cyberbub They didn't make the move 2 years ago because elevate was SRs idea. He asked his then employers Sony first but they didnt want to do it so he then approached BIRD and convinced them that elevate was a perfect fit. |

I have same concerns as you, my real use of elevate would be more of an archive for decades of family photos and short videos, not sure if that would be appreciated.
I wonder if content not in active use within the editor is temporarily moved to lower 'access speed' memory so that it does not impact high quality server time? Maybe user should be able.to tag upload for archive rather than immediate use within project.
Edit. On the other hand I suppose that is done already as clip only becomes active when it's pulled into project then timeline. |
I wonder what proportion of first-day signups are investors?? LOL
I was thinking of signing up myself but then I thought that as I don't particularly edit videos much, I would negatively affect the stats on "monthly active users" or whatever. |
I still sometimes feel a bit frustrated that Elevate is only coming out properly in 2025. There are various other video editors launching last year and this year, and while we believe that ours is technically the best, it's a real shame they didn't decide to make this major business shift 2 years earlier. Or perhaps raised a bit more money to shorten the development timescale. I have a niggle that within not too many years AI is going to eat our (and everybody's) lunch. But we are where we are, we have an excellent product and top management and technical directors. I think we have a great chance of success. |
MK No watermark just end branding on the free account so good deal for free |
Mcsean no need to be swearing all the time cut it out🤣 |
Not sure where read / heard about watermark but exported videos on a free a/c don't have a visible overlay (that I can see), just a short branded clip tagged on to the end, a lot less intrusive than other free tools. |
Lots of posts today
Have to admit I just skipped to the end
Is Gatesy still manipulating the sp? |
At the end of the day it is about supply and demand, both of which can be controlled. |
Well I’ve looked in on the Guild and who knows? |
John
Perhaps it’s not the MM’s doing the prime manipulation
Manipulation is probably not the right word |
