One hub is live on Count8 today: Bachata Corazon in Melbourne. That's the whole list — we're in pilot, and we'd rather show you one real hub than a wall of logos. Click through, poke around the public teasers, then ask us for yours.

The morning after
You didn't start a dance school to spend Sundays editing.
"Where's the footage from last night?" It's the first message in every group chat the morning after. And the honest answer is usually: on a hard drive, behind a half-learned editing app, somewhere down a to-do list that already runs past midnight.
So the recap never ships, the dancers who weren't there never see what they missed, and by Wednesday the night may as well not have happened. Count8 exists to delete that job from your week.

How it works
Drop the footage. That's your whole job.
Upload
One simple upload from any phone or camera — straight after class, or between sets at the social. No file naming, no folders, no exports.
We process
Count8 trims the dead air, swaps blown-out floor noise for a clean copy of the track in sync, watermarks every clip with your brand and cuts thumbnails — automatically, overnight, ready for your approval.
You approve
Review on your phone, tap approve, and it lands in your branded library — members-only or public teaser, your call, clip by clip.

Available now — in the pilot
Everything after the record button, handled.
Your brand, front and centre
Your own hub at your-name.count8.app — your logo, your colours, your link in the group chat and the Instagram bio. It reads as your platform, because it is.
Filed, not dumped
Every clip organised by event, day, room and artist automatically. A dancer finds Saturday's Room 2 demo in seconds, not scroll-years.
Gated where it counts
Members and attendees sign in for the full library; everyone else sees just enough teaser to want in. Maps straight onto full pass vs party pass.
Share-ready recaps
Clips trimmed, synced to clean music and watermarked, ready to share within a day — while the weekend still has heat.
Approve from the couch
A phone-friendly review queue: watch, tap, published. Nothing goes live under your name without your say-so, and no laptop required.
Turn viewers into enquiries
An interest form is built into your hub, so people watching your public teasers can register right there — and become names on your list for the next term or edition.
For your dancers
Your dancers get the good stuff, not a Google Drive link.
Members and attendees sign in to a clean, fast gallery of the nights they were actually at. They drill Tuesday's combo before it evaporates. They relive the weekend. They share the watermarked teasers — and every share carries your name.
- Recaps you can actually practise from — trimmed, with clean synced audio, not blown-out floor noise.
- Organised like a dancer thinks: by event, day, room and artist. Two taps, not two hours of scrolling.
- Gated to the people who were there — your dancing isn't dumped on the open internet.
- Share-ready, watermarked clips for your socials — zero editing, and the event gets the credit.
- Works in any phone browser today. The iOS app — every scene in one app — is on the roadmap.

- A direct line to the people building Count8 — and a real vote on what ships first.
Questions organisers actually ask
The honest FAQ.
What does it cost?
Honestly: we're in pilot and working pricing out with our founding partners, rather than publishing a rate card we'd have to walk back. Founding schools and events lock in early pricing before we open up, and nothing is charged until we've agreed terms together. Registering interest costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Who owns the footage — and what happens if Count8 doesn't work out?
You do, full stop. Your originals and the processed versions are yours, and you can export everything at any time. If you leave — or if we fail; we're a pilot, we won't pretend otherwise — you walk away with all of it. Count8 is a processing and distribution layer on top of your media, not a landlord of it. We don't sell footage, run ads against it, or use it to train anything.
I already have a videographer and a Facebook group. Does this replace them?
Your videographer, no — it makes their work ship faster. They (or you) drop the raw files into your hub and Count8 handles the part that usually stalls: trimming, audio clean-up, watermarking, organising and gated access. Keep the Facebook group too — post the public teasers there and link members to a library that doesn't expire or get buried under 400 posts.
How do you handle privacy — and is face detection opt-in?
Three layers today: galleries are gated to your members and attendees by default, nothing publishes without your explicit approval, and footage of any individual is removed on request — honoured, not argued with. The upcoming "find yourself" feature is strictly opt-in: no face detection exists in the product today, nobody will be indexed unless they switch it on, and matches can be deleted at any time.
Do my dancers need accounts or an app?
No app required — the hub works in any phone browser, with access tied to your member or attendee list. If they can open a link from your Facebook group, they're in. The iOS app on our roadmap is a convenience layer — every scene they dance in, one app, plus uploading their own clips — not a requirement.
How fast is turnaround — could this work across a festival weekend?
In the pilot, footage is typically processed and ready for your approval within about a day of upload. Same-day recaps across a live festival weekend is exactly what we're building towards and stress-testing now — we'd rather prove it with you than promise it to you. If you run a festival or weekender, you're precisely the founding partner we're looking for; pop your event name in the form and we'll ask about dates when we reach out.
What's "clean music", and who handles the rights?
Floor footage usually has blown-out audio — DJ bleed, crowd noise, a phone mic clipping. "Clean music" means we replace or re-sync that with a clear copy of the track so a recap is actually watchable. Straight answer on rights: gated, members-only libraries carry far less exposure than public posts, which is where most takedowns happen. We can't license commercial tracks on your behalf, so for anything you publish publicly we work with you on music you have the right to use. As one-tap social publishing lands, we're building that rights guidance in rather than leaving you to find out from a muted post.
