Singular’s cloud-based graphics platform leaves beta

Singular’s cloud-based graphics production platform, Singular.Live, has left beta and is now available for users.

Developed to allow in-browser creation, control and playout of graphics and video real-time, the platform is free in its base form, with an hourly pay-as-go graphics cloud-rendering and compositing option available.

“Live production pros are looking to make a smooth transition to IP with minimal infrastructure investment, while meeting high consumer expectations for quality content,” said David Zerah, CEO, Singular.Live. “The latest version of Singular.Live offers new, simple-to-use, web-based tools that help broadcast, OTT and live production pros, as well as streaming enthusiasts, deliver content that breaks through the noise, and make a profit – with less upfront technology investment and a smaller footprint.”

Feature highlights include:

• Create, and drag and drop design elements; customize positions, colors, backgrounds, text and images; and animate them in real-time in an intuitive web-based authoring environment
• Integrate compelling real-time data without custom coding
• Simple integration with popular platforms like Facebook Live, YouTube, Twitch and more via an extensive widget library
• Manage live graphics with easy-to-use, built-in controls or create a custom interface to target and track advertising
• Link graphics to your timeline for automatic video sync
  Render and composite efficiently with flexible cloud and desktop options
