AG Video elevates live sports coverage with NewBlue Captivate

When motocross heats up, there’s no time for clunky graphics. Adam Gordon—owner of AG Video—runs 12–15 camera live shows (drones included), chasing ESPN-level polish without the network budget. After years on basic tools, he found NewBlue Captivate and rethought how his team does graphics.

“Once I saw how the timeline works and how capable it is, it blew me away.” — Adam Gordon, AG Video

From “make it work” to “make it sing”

Adam started with static systems like NewTek LiveText, then pushed vMix as far as possible. But Captivate unlocked an entirely new way to create animated pylons, data-driven leaderboards, and sponsor billboards—all inside a timeline that felt natural for an editor.

“If you know Photoshop or Premiere, you’ll feel right at home with Captivate.”

AG Video’s broadcast kit includes:

  • Graphics stack: Captivate Sport (eyeing Broadcast features next)
  • Switcher: Blackmagic ATEM Constellation
  • Control: Stream Deck with Bitfocus Companion integration
  • Typical show: 12–15 cameras, wireless feeds, FPV and drone shots

Built for speed: data in, graphics out

Motorsports change every second. Captivate’s data controllers feed live standings to leaderboards and pylons in near real time. Adam also color-codes classes and manufacturers, rotates sponsor logos across the day, and keeps production smooth—even when schedules shift.
