An overview video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5LTFC9MlOI. There is also a live demo instance available at http://35.228.47.121:5000/ . (Please note, the demo instance is shared across all users so expect clashes. Data in the demo is automatically reset few times a day.)

GC was originally developed by SmartPX for YLE, the public broadcaster in Finland. Markus Nygård from YLE, a regular on this forum, can shed some light on the requirements and remote workflow considerations behind the application.

Pre-built binary packages, source code and issue tracker is available at https://github.com/TuomoKu/SPX-GC

We have interesting features for GC on our roadmap and look forward to any user suggestions and other feedback. Software is freely available, but we will be more than happy to provide creative services in custom template design and related development.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us

Thank you,
