To do that we have to perfect the technology and the platform.

This is solving a problem that can really scale globally and as investors should know if you get that right because of the scale the rewards are huge.

No reason for the Stockmarket to give you any clues.

Thanks...yes..and it is easy to forget what is already there with Enterprise...

Create great video effects with Blackbird



what do you think of ?

[spoonmuff] 26/3/2024 11:59

That’s a great video. I imagine over the coming weeks there will be a few of those for the collaboration tools, and more detailed videos including text to speech etc. great first video though!!!

[johnveals] 26/3/2024 11:50

Who cares whether the stock market picks this up in the short term, it's the ability to generate revenue in the longer term that matters, or the value seen in the technology by a major.

Bonio

Community is supposed to be coming.

it is a ramp up situation.

[nickb] 26/3/2024 11:43

Maybe someone can promote that video to the top on this thread?

No not really, just my thoughts.

What I will say is they do know what they are doing and need to do, they are highly experienced you could even say world class.

They have built Video editing applications before and they know every feature that will be needed.

Any bug reports are obviously very useful, any confusion that lots of people may have on the website is useful feedback, think smoothness and frictionless so if you have sign up issues or getting lost in the application that is useful for them to know, things like that need to be discovered early before the crowds arrive!
All in my opinion

[bonio10000] 26/3/2024 11:25

I don't think on day one it is much to have a "how to" video front and centre and maybe a community forum.

These are easy wins distinct from the product itself and which are easy to have set up.

[hyperal] 26/3/2024 11:22

Would be nice if you could open 'getting started' in a temporary overlay window within the control panel of elevate.io so users don't lose focus.

[pokerchips2] 26/3/2024 11:20

NickB

Yes..I think Bonio and myself have been looking at things from a User Experience view, as opposed to a technical view, which you guys have covered..and from the User Experience it is still somewhat prototype

[nickb] 26/3/2024 11:16

bonio, pokerchips

Maybe that's an 'early' look for you

[hyperal] 26/3/2024 11:16

Very informative video. Very clear and the voice is very relaxing, keep calm.
As tools become more complex maybe somehow we could share 'getting started' project file with the users so they can play with the process.i have suggested this to the team.

[pokerchips2] 26/3/2024 11:15

Thanks NickB

A link to that video should be in the "Resources" section at the initial page bottom...along with the Support and Site Services links which are there

[bonio10000] 26/3/2024 11:07

Excellent video.

Cannot see the obvious link on the webpage though.

Not the sort of thing you should need to look for.

[chriscallen] 26/3/2024 11:06

I have been told that elevate.io cannot yet be bought. Have they given any idea when they will be selling it?

[nickb] 26/3/2024 10:59

This should help you get started
(Also more to come)

[nickb] 26/3/2024 10:55

Re Safari Its Apple being non compliant on web standards, I believe they are working on a fix.

Don't forget about our Flagship enterprise product which is battle tested to very demanding pro levels.

Many of the editing features like key frames and titles already exist in the enterprise version nothing to invent here but work to do.


They said in the investor presentation meet, that its not a launch

And surely you have worked out the ambition here is very high inside the company and a few of us shareholders who get it.

[kcowe] 26/3/2024 10:46

Market isn't interested... NT to sell .. no forward looking buyers lining up to take part in the journey at these depressed levels..

[chriscallen] 26/3/2024 10:35

It's not a flashy launch I want. It's evidence of a careful, consistent and successful approach to marketing elevate.io... Which has been lacking for just short of 24 years. As long as SR and MV call the shots I will be happy.

[clocktower] 26/3/2024 10:09

So it's a competitive field and will be a battle to see who has the cash to build the customer base I guess.

'Figma of video editing'

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[pokerchips2] 26/3/2024 09:57

NickB


Scenery are doing similar, and backed by Figma. They launched last November. From the guys behind SnappyTV.

" Scenery is a collaborative video editing workspace for asset management, editing, and review — with AI assisted workflows"

...their website has a similar look but far more professional looking





Their launch blog post ....shows Elevate hasnt launched at all... merely got in crudely before March end

[hyperal] 26/3/2024 09:57

Ok, just looked up Safari web browser, I have never used it. Wiki states "It is built into Apple's operating systems, including macOS, iOS, iPadOS and visionOS, and uses Apple's open-source browser engine WebKit, which was derived from KHTML.'

I think Safari is one of these browsers that deviated from agreed international standards from the time it was first developed. Microsoft was certainly like that, I think Apple the same. I was a web developer in those days and blimey I got annoyed when these companies did this, although Google Chrome is the same. It was just a real hassle for developers and the same problems obviously persist today.

Surely Chrome can run on the same platforms as Safari?

So why is it so difficult for Safari users to download Chrome, I assume they know how to download software and do so on a regular basis, so just download Chrome and use elevate.io on it. If you are worried about Google tracking, you don't need to make Chrome your default browser.

Great 'official' news, seems some haven't grasped the significant technology breakthrough here to get to hyper global scale at an affordable price and even free entry.


No tech company in the world as far as I know has pulled this off and remember this his incredibly difficult.

What this does is enables the huge ambition to become the 'Figma of video editing' without today that can't happen.
