Brandlive | February 01, 2023
One of the top video-led marketing events companies, Brandlive, recently announced two new solutions for event professionals and marketers. The two new solutions include Greenroom for iOS and Greenroom Recording Studio. Brandlive is a company that makes video-based webinars and events more interesting. It is already empowering presenters with its suite of event and creator platforms. The company's newest solutions expand on its video production studio in the cloud, Greenroom.
Brandlive's integrated production software Greenroom now brings cinematic power into the presenter's pocket. One of the two new solutions added, the Greenroom app for iOS takes advantage of the world's most well-known and powerful camera, the iPhone. Before, the native Greenroom iOS app, the solution was only available on desktop browsers. It has better video quality than webcams, and presenters can use it whenever convenient. Greenroom for iOS takes away the fear that speakers will mess up their technology and gives them more confidence so they can focus on providing a powerful and impactful message. Using iPhone's cinematic mode, Dolby Vision technology and ProRes, the solution supports 24-frames-per-second, 4K resolution, live streaming, recordings, and multi-cam setup.
Greenroom's new cloud-based Recording Studio feature set by Brandlive helps marketers easily make agency-quality content for webinars, events, and important work moments. The Recording Studio helps to streamline the recording process and make it easy to mix recorded and live content for the perfect show creation on a shot-by-shot and segment-by-segment basis. The solution simplifies with the help of powerful presenter tools, including a teleprompter, scripts, and visual cues. The presenters can now present at their best and deliver the right message without flaws. The solution eliminates the upload and downloads and makes it a simple drag and drop in a click. Organizers can layer graphics, overlays, titles, animations, and music to transform boring webinars, product launches, and marketing events into something memorable for the people.
