Scheduled Programming, Not Playlist Looping
Scheduled Programming
Program time slots, episode sequencing, and day-of-week blocks. Your content airs on a schedule, not in a random loop.
Longform Content Library
Import TV series, documentaries, video essays, and recorded shows. Organize content into playlists and programming blocks.
Multi-Platform Delivery
Publish your channel through the built-in HLS web player, YouTube Live, Discord, or any RTMP destination. One schedule, multiple outputs.
From TV Series to Documentaries to Community Content
Series and Episodes
Build sequential playlists with automatic next-episode progression. Rotate through seasons and keep your audience following along.
Documentary and Educational
Create themed programming blocks with topic rotations and scheduled premieres. Curate a channel around subjects your audience cares about.
Creator and Community
Program video essays, event recordings, campus broadcasts, church services, and local content. Any longform video works as channel programming.
Cloud Channel Platforms Get Expensive Fast
Hourly Costs Scale with Longform
Cloud encoding bills grow with every hour of video you broadcast. Longform content like series episodes and documentaries means higher costs every month.
Storage Limits Hit Fast with Video Libraries
A single season of a series can consume gigabytes. Cloud platforms cap your storage or charge per-GB overages as your library grows.
No Real Scheduling Depth
Most cloud tools just loop playlists. No time slots, no episode sequencing, no day-of-week blocks. That is playlist management, not channel scheduling.
THREE MODES OF OPERATION
SavePoint's Video Station Manager handles pre-rendered longform content delivery. Program your video library into a real broadcast schedule with time slots, transitions, and automated playout.
Radio Station Manager
Internet Radio Automation- Schedule audio playlists with segment rotations and shuffle logic for unattended playback.
- Publish now-playing metadata, album art, and track announcements automatically.
- Go live with DJ Mode for voice-over broadcasting, then hand back to automation.
Video Station Manager
Scheduled Video Playout- Build recurring video rotations with day-of-week and time-slot scheduling.
- Pre-render transitions and overlays ahead of broadcast to reduce live encoding load.
- Publish pre-recorded programming to YouTube Live and RTMP destinations on autopilot.
Broadcast Station Manager
Live + Pre-Recorded Hybrid- Mix pre-recorded segments with live broadcast sessions in a single stream. (coming soon)
- Switch between scenes, overlays, and media sources during broadcast. (scene management coming soon)
- Multicast manager for publishing to multiple destinations simultaneously.
Radio and Video station management are production-ready. Live broadcast management for podcasts, presentations, and real-time scene switching is experimental and under active development.
Three Steps to Your Live Channel
Import Your Video Library
Add your series episodes, films, documentaries, and recordings. Any MP4 or WebM file. No software-imposed storage limits.
Program Your Schedule
Use the weekly schedule grid to assign time slots, episode rotations, and themed programming blocks. Morning documentaries, evening series, weekend specials.
Pre-Render and Broadcast
SavePoint pre-renders transitions and overlays ahead of playback, then streams cached segments 24/7 to your configured destinations.
Everything You Need to Run a Channel
Video Library Management
Import and organize series, documentaries, video essays, and recordings. Tag, sort, and build playlists from your entire video collection.
Weekly Schedule Grid
Visual schedule builder with time slots, day-of-week blocks, and segment rotations. See your entire programming week at a glance.
Pre-Render Pipeline
Transitions and visual overlays are rendered before broadcast. Stream cached segments instead of live-encoding every frame.
Dynamic Overlays
Channel branding, now-playing information, and program details layered over your video content. Professional channel presentation.
13+ Transitions
Crossfade, dissolve, slide, blur, and more. Every segment change gets a professional transition, configured per-segment or channel-wide.
Multi-Destination Output
HLS web player (included). YouTube Live, Discord, and RTMP outputs available with Year Pass. One schedule, every platform.
LONGFORM VIDEO PLAYLIST MANAGEMENT
Import series episodes, documentaries, video essays, and recorded shows into your channel library. Build programming playlists with sequential or shuffle playback, boost favorites into heavier rotation, and exclude content without deleting it.
Folder Scanning
Import video files from local directories with automatic metadata extraction. MP4, WebM, and other standard video formats.
Playlist Scheduling
Create playlists with sequential or shuffle playback. Assign playlists to schedule segments for automated programming rotation.
Favorites & Boost
Mark content as favorites to increase their frequency in rotation. Weight your programming toward preferred episodes and shows.
Exclusion Lists
Hide content from broadcast rotation without removing it from your library. Useful for seasonal, retired, or archived programming.
Program Your Entire Week
Arrange your segments into a weekly schedule. Different music for morning, afternoon, and night, automatically.
BUILT FOR 24/7 VIDEO BROADCASTING
Video content is the most expensive media to live-encode. A 24/7 live channel running continuous real-time encoding keeps CPU and GPU usage at sustained high levels, driving up hardware costs and thermal load.
SavePoint pre-renders transitions and visual overlays before broadcast, then streams cached video segments during playout. This is where longform content benefits most: a 50-minute documentary with pre-rendered transitions costs almost nothing to stream compared to live-encoding every frame.
The result: a live channel that runs reliably on modest hardware. No thermal throttling, no surprise load spikes, no need for dedicated encoding GPUs.
Your Channel, Your Hardware, Your Content
No Monthly Subscription
No recurring SaaS charges for the core station manager. Platform broadcasting features are available through an optional Year Pass ($69/year).
No Storage Caps
Your video library lives on your drives. SavePoint does not limit how much content you import. Capacity depends on your hardware.
No Viewer Caps
SavePoint does not gate viewer capacity behind pricing tiers. Viewer limits depend on your hosting, bandwidth, and streaming architecture.

Build and test your programming schedule on a home computer or local network. Configure playlists, overlays, and stream destinations before going live with your channel.
