Sydney, Australia – 1 November 2025 – Following the launch of its new real-time version, Edit on the Spot™, the AI-powered video editing platform for live events, has successfully delivered at scale for SXSW Sydney, its flagship conference and festival client.
Across the five-day event, Edit on the Spot transformed 125 live sessions into fully branded, shareable segments, full-session “top & tail” edits, and social clips—in minutes, not weeks.
Building on the newly launched real-time platform, Edit on the Spot ingested live and recorded feeds from multiple stages and rooms at SXSW Sydney, turning long-form content into ready-to-publish assets while the event was still underway.
“SXSW Sydney was a perfect proving ground for our real-time platform,” said Martin Renaud, Co-Founder & CPO of Edit on the Spot. “We showed that you don’t have to choose between scale and speed. You can have a five-day, multi-track festival and still deliver polished, on-brand video to speakers, sponsors, and audiences in near real time.”

From Live Stage to Ready-to-Share in Minutes
Using the capabilities introduced in its new real-time version, Edit on the Spot enabled SXSW Sydney’s content team to:
Convert 125 live sessions into fully branded assets – Talks, panels, and performances packaged with consistent event branding, titles, and lower-thirds.


Produce full-session ‘top & tail’ edits – Sessions wrapped with branded intros and outros, ready for on-demand platforms, partner portals, and archives.


Generate social-ready clips on the fly – Short, captioned clips in vertical and horizontal formats for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and X.


Behind the scenes, Edit on the Spot’s AI-powered engine combined:
Speaker and segment detection for accurate cut points and highlight selection
Brand-safe templates for fonts, lower-thirds, watermarks, and slates
Live captioning to support accessibility and rapid distribution
Cloud-native collaboration and export for approvals and direct publishing

Proving the Case for Real-Time Event Video
The SXSW Sydney deployment demonstrates how the newly launched real-time Edit on the Spot platform removes traditional bottlenecks in post-production. Instead of waiting days or weeks for edits, the festival’s team could:
Deliver sponsor and partner content packages during or immediately after sessions
Equip speakers with ready-to-share clips while their sessions were still fresh
Keep festival channels active with a continuous stream of high-quality video content
“Events like SXSW Sydney can’t afford latency between the stage and the feed,” added Renaud. “Following the launch of our real-time platform, we’ve proven that large-scale events can operate with a ‘shoot, brand, share’ workflow instead of a ‘shoot, wait, edit’ mindset.”
