The Blackbird Magic
The ‘Blackbird Magic’ enables unbeatable speed, scalability and quality for viewing, editing and publishing video in the cloud. At its heart, Blackbird is an IP company and we hold 14 patents around 2 core tenets of our technology.
The Blackbird Codec: our ultra-efficient codec developed just for the cloud enables a high quality proxy version of your video to be created faster than real time – enabling you to work only on the content you need. Our unique technology dramatically reduces the cost and time of content creation and distribution – powering massive productivity efficiencies across your business and creating added value through opening up new workflows.
Blackbird Forte: our fully-featured, highly-responsive, javascript, professional editing suite has re-written the rules of what is possible in a standard web browser: 18 video tracks, 36 audio tracks, complex transitions, color correction, voice over – and much much more – all made possible from simply logging in to your Blackbird account from anywhere.
