LONDON, Sept. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/
– Blackbird plc (AIM: BIRD), developer and seller of the
market-leading cloud video editing platform, Blackbird, has signed
a further 5 post-production facilities to its Blackbird Productions
Partnership Program (BP3) since June taking the total to 20.
Launched at the start of the year, BP3 enables
post-production facilities to sell Blackbird directly to media
production companies internationally creating an additional revenue
stream for partners. The new BP3 partners are ENVY, Ricochet,
Back2Back, The Edit and Run VT.
Blackbird delivers major efficiencies to the production
workflows of hundreds of TV programmes annually. The production
teams of popular shows such as The One Show, Gogglebox and Gold
Rush use Blackbird to rapidly view, edit and log content.
Easy to learn and use, the Blackbird cloud video editing
platform is accessed through any browser on any device from
anywhere in the world. Teams can simultaneously work on the same
workflows in real time for easy, collaborative working. With no
need for expensive on-premise editing suites, training and travel
costs, Blackbird delivers a significant return on investment for
all production companies.
In June this year, Blackbird announced a multi-year deal
with A+E Networks in the US to drive major video
productivity efficiencies. As well as being widely used in the
production sector, Blackbird has a growing global user base across
multiple sectors including sports, esports and news – customers
include MSG Networks, IMG, Deltatre, NRL, Peloton, Gfinity and
TownNews.
Ian McDonough, CEO of Blackbird,
said: "We are delighted that so many partners have signed up to the
Blackbird BP3 programme so far. They recognise the speed and
efficiency benefits of the Blackbird platform within so many
post-production workflows. Post-production companies have also seen
how Blackbird can be a revenue stream with many independent
productions gravitating towards our solution."
