Video solutions start-up StreamGear Inc. unveils its standalone VidiMo Show live streaming production app, designed to let any smartphone user stream video. Featuring the same software interface as the company’s award-winning VidiMo Go multi-camera production system, VidiMo Show is designed to allow users to create professional-looking live streams and recorded shows with a smartphone.
“Intuitive enough for novice streamers yet powerful enough for experienced producers, VidiMo Show enables content creators to bring an engaging new level of sophistication to their live shows or to record visually rich programs in real time without time-consuming editing,” the announcement states. “VidiMo Show helps users increase and captivate their audience by elevating content such as ‘how-to’ videos, product reviews, live worship services, music performances, news interviews, and training courses into compelling, polished productions.”
Storytellers can produce, direct, and star in their own show, or stay behind the scenes while crafting programs. VidiMo Show lets users customize unlimited scenes in advance, each with its own layout and combination of live video (using the phone’s front or rear camera), audio, graphics, text, and pre-recorded media clips. Users can switch between these scenes on the fly while live streaming or recording, with effects such as lower-third graphic overlays, on-screen telestration, and animated transitions further enhancing the visual experience.
The resulting creations can be instantly broadcast live on social media (with presets for YouTube™ Live, Facebook™ Live, and Twitch™) or to a private streaming server. Shows can also be saved locally to the smartphone’s camera roll for rebroadcasting, post production, or archiving. As users’ audiences and production ambitions grow, they can scale up by connecting a DSLR or mirrorless camera and microphone through the optional VidiMo Go hardware (available by the end of this year) to capture the highest quality video and audio.
“The VidiMo product family is mobile video production as it was meant to be,” says Darryl Spangler, CEO of StreamGear Inc. “While our VidiMo Go hardware-and-app combination is ideal for creating multi-angle productions that incorporate external sources, offering VidiMo Show as a standalone app makes its intuitive capabilities available to millions of smartphone users with ideas they want to share through video. From tutorials and unboxing reviews to worship and live events, VidiMo Show will help them tell their story beautifully.”
The VidiMo Show app is available immediately for Android and iOS devices through the Google Play Store and iOS App Store, respectively. Users can sign up for a free 15-day trial of the app by visiting https://streamgear.io/vidimo.
