Blackbird Share Discussion Threads

[salmon9] 26/3/2024 07:41

This is a positive "line in the sand" start and we can be sure that it will be followed by huge determination to develop and add features at speed.
With Blackbird's technical pedigree, this is so different to a start up company launching.
This quote from yesterday's news release makes that point. "Twelve Labs and Blackbird will be showcasing the new AI Integration at The 2024 NAB Show in Las Vegas, 13-17 April. To learn more about Twelve Labs’ technology and how it works with Blackbird, please visit twelvelabs.io."

They deserve our 100% support.

I assume IM saying he was a coat of paint away from putting out forecasts in the market was economical as well.

[horneblower] 26/3/2024 07:36

clocktower. Please list the bugs.

[cabi1] 26/3/2024 07:35

I’m not being negative here, but I don’t see much share price action of the back of the launch.

Investors want hard numbers now.

They still have to prove that elevate.io can be successful.

[geheimnis2] 26/3/2024 07:32

Absolutely agree, hyper

[hyperal] 26/3/2024 07:31

Why is everyone always so negative? It's great news.

[geheimnis2] 26/3/2024 07:29

These folks are smart


Better to get a product out quickly and iterate than delay delay for perfection that never arrives

[clocktower] 26/3/2024 07:27

Bonkers releasing a product that even strong supporters on here believe has bugs that needed sorting still yesterday.

[jasperthemonkeygod] 26/3/2024 07:24

They should start a user forum, to get feature requests in.

That worked well for Otoy and Octane

[geheimnis2] 26/3/2024 07:23

Great stuff

Congrats to the gang?

[cyberbub] 26/3/2024 07:20

Nice, sticking to their promised timetables. They must have fixed the Safari bug to be doing a general release?

[jamesjmb] 26/3/2024 07:16

Good, bad or indifferent our share price drops. 🫣

[sickness] 26/3/2024 07:13

It’s tradition for the share price to drop when good news is announced so let’s see how it goes today

[spoonmuff] 26/3/2024 07:09

Two years in the making. Let’s hope we see some hype and at least some online presence.

[jamesjmb] 26/3/2024 07:08

Blackbird plc (AIM:BIRD), the technology licensor, developer and seller of market-leading cloud native video editing platform, Blackbird®, announces the general release of elevate.io, its new creator SaaS product, according to its previously announced timeframe.

[chriscallen] 26/3/2024 07:04

Release Day!!!

[horneblower] 25/3/2024 22:10

Nice that they were still working at 8.30pm and answering my emails.

I told them I had four more MP4 files that wouldn't load and they will let me know when they have found a fix.

Impressive.

[nickb] 25/3/2024 20:40

Interesting
It’s not the first editing app that says No😀

Good that you sent it to them

[horneblower] 25/3/2024 19:33

NickB
Apparently the MP4 file I sent had a frame rate reporting as slightly unusual??
The development team are investigating.
It was taken on an iPhone using the usual camera app...but at minus 20 Farenheit in Alaska...perhaps it shrank :)
Anyway, they fixed it ☺

[nickb] 25/3/2024 18:04

MP4 doesn’t support Alpha
PNG does

What you want is coming and you will want the paid version for a lot of it I imagine.

What you need to look at is the architecture and see where this is heading.

Try sharing your project
Do the same with Premiere

[jasperthemonkeygod] 25/3/2024 18:01

I'm not sure you can export mp4 with alpha though?

and I can't see it accepting image sequences?

so I'm guessing you'd render out an mp4 of your snazzy animated text on black, and switch it to screen?

the sluggish thing - yep that'll be bandwidth, or Chrome or both

[nickb] 25/3/2024 17:59

Sluggish, wow! I have it super smooth
And you can run Premiere🤯

This free model version 1 isn’t trying to be Premiere

Agree it needs more gfx support
There is Alpha channel support for PNG graphics.

[jasperthemonkeygod] 25/3/2024 17:54

ok, first impressions

it's better at previewing than premiere

CTRL + middle mouse scroll wheel zooms the timeline, which is cool

like the fades being done simply in the way that it does

it's missing a few things though - keyframes (can't rostrum a still), change or reverse speed, set a duration (unless I'm missing something), no photoshop transfer modes, just linear doge/add or screen would do, so you could overlay text etc

it would be good to be able to copy and paste stuff, attributes, fades, colour corrections etc otherwise you have to do them for each clip

seems sluggish on my pc but this could be Chrome, which I gave up on and switched to DuckDuckGo

Most of us are not looking for a 'quick winner'. Hence we are not traders like you. Nothing wrong if that's your game but it won't work here.
