I developed Backbeat’s tools after years of experience running operations teams at national and international broadcasters. The design stays separate from the content. Designers can deliver their project and move onto other work. The production team looks after the daily output – even from their tablet or phone. Backbeat tools will look after data ingest, approval workflow, rendering, transcode and delivery.
The system scrapes the data and clips you want, your production desk reviews and approves, and the system sends finished renders in any format to any internet connected destination – S3, FTP, a PAM or a MAM. I can work with you to code Expressions inside your project so it’ll adapt to deal with unpredictable footage.
Content management
The service has a CMS so your team can monitor processing, and manually approve before delivery. Backbeat will adapt the CMS to how your business works, so it makes sense at first glance and it’s easier to train new hires. The system can also keep your operators in the loop via a dedicated Slack channel.
AI integrations
The bots already can work with AI tools such as Chat GPT, Eleven Labs and Amazon Polly. There’s a couple of blog posts about that. Integrating with your favourite generative AI shouldn’t be a problem.
Pricing
Every workflow is a bespoke plugin to the main application. So there is a setup fee depending on how complex things are and how much coding I have to do. Once you’re up & running, there’s a smaller monthly support fee so I can be there if you need help. The rendering can happen in your AWS account or mine, and if you choose the latter it makes the support charge a little higher.
Next steps to mass production…
Drop me a line and I’ll get right back to you. I’ll take a look at your AE project and we can talk about building it into a mass production data to After Effects workflow.
