I have worked for several years on the development of flexible learning tools and resources at our local university, using a lot of multimedia resources that can be accessed locally from DVD and/or over the web. Post-production is a big task after all resources (ppt slides, video lecturer clips, animations, podcasts, examples etc) are assembled, and we have used the media builder within LiveStage Pro which is no longer actively supported and increasingly showing its age. We have created I think some innovative and interesting learning tools, but desperately need to streamline and enhance the postproduction and final assembly process. BoinxTV looks like the dream product for this purpose.

So if you want to invite 20 people, just do it :)
But everyone can surely also contact Nicholas or me directly in order to get an invite.
Just email me at: (My first name) @ boinx.com

I work for a community college, and I’ve been in the process of setting up a video podcasting studio. Because instructors should be content experts, not technology experts, I’ve been trying to stick to the tools and applications that are the easiest to use without sacrificing much power. Boinx looks pretty promising, as does the Vidblaster project.

I have a copy of Adobe’s Visual Communicator – has anyone compared this to Boinx? It sounds like the two are similar. I’d love the opportunity to beta test Boinx and compare it to other apps we’re trying out.

Would you mind extending this to everyone who posted a comment and has expressed interest? Meaning, may they contact you directly for an invite? This might be more efficient in sending out the invites.

Thanks,

Matthew

I do the Coach TV video blog (http://coachtvblog.com), and as you can see over on my main blog (http://pinds.com/2008/10/8/video-blogging-is-hard-work), I find the post-production workflow frustrating – recording the shows is awesome, getting them online is awful.

So I’d really really like a beta invite, if you have any left, so I can try it out immediately and see if this would solve some of my problems AND allow me to do something even more cool like having my own intro and add some text and graphics on top.

Thanks!

• Full HD is available in the final product. The contents of that pop-up are just a few common and oddball sizes we put in there for testing, and are will not be final. The Custom… option also allows you to type in any dimensions you like (e.g. portrait, odd numbers, whatever).

• Sure you can use it for live broadcast. That’s one of the two primary use cases (the other being recording to disk). It outputs to the external monitor port on a laptop, or to any device posing as a secondary screen, e.g. a Matrox MXO, via one of your video cards.

• We would love to get specific feedback on the UI. Please believe me when I say that the current UI is a vast improvement on earlier iterations (you can see one of those in the screencast Matthew linked to), and is designed to be efficient for the live broadcast user that has learned how to use the product. Whilst we believe the product is much easier to use than Final Cut Pro, your feedback is noted though that it can be overwhelming for a first time user. Would you like some soft of Windows-like “First time user wizard” there? We have been trying to avoid the need for that.

And BTW Matthew: We’re not counting the number of invites you actually give out. :-)

I agree that the app is cool, and that the UI sucks. The only thing to note is that you can’t use it to live broadcast like TwistCam – this is only for offline usage, which limits it in a major way.

They will be producing an in house news and media show for our school. They have limited time to produce each show so this should speed things up and make a professional product at the same time.

One of our jobs is to put out the morning video announcements to the entire school. As of right now, our presentation is not very up to par and we don’t really have the time in the morning to edit together an entire news broadcast. This program seems like it would speed up the process of editing and make our production much more appealing to the eye.

I think this application will give just that. So I would like to win the beta invite.
