  1. The problem01

    Social always comes last

    The show is finished at the last minute, and the social team gets the material when the audience has already moved on.

    With ShowBits

    Clips while the show is still on air

    ShowBits takes the live signal or the recording from playout and suggests clips during the broadcast. Pre-produced formats are processed before airtime and go out the moment the show starts.

  2. The problem02

    Not every frame may be posted

    Licensed footage, music and guest agreements decide what can go on social. Checking that by hand is slow and risky.

    With ShowBits

    Rights flags per segment

    Segments with licensed footage or music are flagged from your MAM metadata or detected automatically. They are left out of clips or released only after legal approval.

  3. The problem03

    16:9 doesn't work on a phone

    Multi-camera productions are cut for the TV screen. Cropped to vertical, the speaker disappears from the frame.

    With ShowBits

    Reframing that follows the speaker

    Speaker tracking keeps the right person in frame, even when the director cuts between cameras.

  4. The problem04

    Unreleased content must stay inside

    Broadcasters need to control where unreleased material is processed and who can see it before airtime.

    With ShowBits

    EU cloud or your own data center

    Run ShowBits on-premise, air-gapped if required. Content stays under embargo until airtime, and the duty editor approves every clip.

What you get

  • Live clipping from playout or stream
  • Rights flags from MAM metadata
  • Reframing for multi-camera productions
  • Approval by the duty editor
  • Subtitles for accessibility
  • Connects to playout and MAM

We know how TV social teams work

Before ShowBits, our founder's agency Granny produced social content for broadcasters and streaming platforms such as RTL and Joyn. ShowBits is built around the schedules, approvals and rights questions of real broadcast teams.

Our story

Frequently asked questions

Can ShowBits clip live broadcasts?

Yes. ShowBits takes the live stream or the recording from your playout and suggests clips while the show is still running. Your team approves and publishes within minutes.

Does ShowBits work with our MAM and playout?

ShowBits connects to MAM and playout systems via connectors and an open API. Tell us which systems you use and we will show you the integration in the demo.

How do you handle content with third-party rights?

Segments with licensed footage or music are flagged, either from your MAM metadata or by automatic detection. Flagged segments are excluded from clips or need legal approval before publishing.

Can we run ShowBits in our own data center?

Yes. ShowBits OnPremise runs in your infrastructure, without an internet connection if required. In the cloud, we host exclusively in the EU.
