Hairflick That makes sense so do the DNS servers.

Lookup on Whois shows the domain elevate.io was first registered On:2017-08-23 so probably a 3rd party grabbing domains to flog on.

It was last updated on 2023-10-11 about the time they launched the holding page on the website.

Have you looked at the beta YouTube app I mentioned above? Interestingly currently only available on Android. Google even pay users for feedback via 'Google User Experience Research'

No shortage of fools to capture

Probably me clutching at straws !

April fools day. LOL

Has anyone looked at the new creator apps from YouTube? YouTube are clearly moving forward on that front. I recently downloaded 'YouTube Create' onto my phone. It's impressive for a mobile app. Worth having if you record videos on your phone.

He is still on this page too...give it time and it will be updated

[nickb] 13/3/2024 15:44

I believe he resigned officially on the results day and Anne de Kerckhove took his place

[chriscallen] 13/3/2024 15:37

As they clearly wouldn't be excluding just shareholders from the access process can it be signalling a wider problem?

On a separate matter I thought John Honeycutt had resigned? He can't have because he still shown as a Director in the AIM Rule 26 disclosure.

Must be a PSYOPS 😀

Relax

Yes..agreed..

One valuable thing about Sumit is he also seems to be fully aware on how it can fail, and clearly is avoiding any such mis-steps in his plan

I don't lay any claim to knowing what IM or SBS think about the way ahead for the company. SR and MV however have set out what there vision for the product was and they seem to have stuck pretty closely to it:
hxxps://www.blackbird.video/soundbites/page/11/

The first bit is about their background and experience but they do eventually get to the vision bit and come across as both focused and knowledgeable. After listening to it again I am convinced that their commitment is beyond doubt and they have the will to succeed.

The worst thing they could do with the design of a video editor is have a new different interface and way of operating.

Apple tried and failed

So it’s got to feel familiar as it’s starting point.

Quality of design and taking out the pain points in other apps is hopefully what they have done.

100% down to 80% is key and feedback is very important here.

Sumit is the right man for the job

" we are not re inventing the wheel."

NickB

no..mainly because they already had a wheel ...and with regards to "stealth mode" I suspect they have features ready and waiting ..just a case of adding them in , in terms of availability.....in order to keep the momentum ...and keep the "magic" going and everyone on board

They need it yesterday.

Simply time is money in a multi billion dollar industry more so during a strategic chess game of positioning.

[nickb] 13/3/2024 12:43

‘what exactly the 67 "core" have been testing ?

Kind of a good question.

Collaboration features and overall Usability and some performance testing.

Sumit should know what a video editor looks like we are not re inventing the wheel.

A very controlled group of people they knew?

They have developed it in stealth mode the less people involved the better.

Although I do agree with Sumit that small numbers of testers is a good idea.

[spoonmuff] 13/3/2024 12:41

I 100% think the plan is to sell the company, I just don’t think they will until it’s a threat. Huge companies can let the momentum build up and buy at a higher price than buy cheaper right at the start. When one goes for it a few will IMO. I still think it will end up being Microsoft one day as they will be keeping tabs on our progress

[pokerchips2] 13/3/2024 12:40

" They moved the goal posts on access "

you could view that as a good thing...the feedback etc gave them more than enough to be working on...Sumit probably made the call with SS I suspect

[pokerchips2] 13/3/2024 12:36

" as they said part of the 67 were students "

Spoon

well they could be developer engineer Univ students or video user Univ students ...but either way..I suspect they are indeed important as part of a focus group feedback ... their age group are the future and how they see things is probably quite valuable
