About Switcher Studio
Switcher Studio's feed adds sports-graphics and AI-workflow guides, still no new feature.
No product feature has appeared since Instant Replay in August. On 9 November two more blog guides went up, on live sports graphics and on using AI in a video workflow, following October posts on automation, equipment and Instagram Live multicam. The product remains a mobile live production app used by churches, schools and sports organizations.
