Boinx TV : A Good Bye to Post Production Blues?

BoinxTV is a pioneering live production software to record video podcasts, sports events, concerts, interviews, speeches, sermons, seminars, and more using just your Mac and up to three cameras.




“For the rest of us”

BoinxTV’s goal is to make it easy to create professional “TV style” recordings. As a video producer, you currently have to spend many hours editing your takes to get a professional looking result. Post-production is a time-consuming part of the workflow. BoinxTV reduces the overall production time dramatically as you can apply cuts, graphic effects, titles and more during the live recording of the show. Everything done during live recording does not have to be done in post production.

In weather forecasts on TV, the presenter is standing in front of a large map. Actually this is a green or blue background that is replaced by a background image or video. You can achieve the same effect, as BoinxTV supports chroma keying. Of course you will need a background and a lighting set. If you need recommendations for studio equipment, find them here.

BoinxTV ships with more than 30 professional layers (video switcher, RSS crawler, lower third, interview setup, and others), and can be extended by custom layers designed with Apple's Quartz Composer software, which comes free with Mac OS X. You can also tailor BoinxTV layers to your needs or hire Boinx to create a specific layer for you.

A single user license will set you back $499, or $199 if you are willing to include a five second credit for BoinxTV in every video. Custom layers cost $999 each.

Sorry Windows users … this is a Mac only deal!
