Red5's autumn run: spec-compliant AMF codecs amid a stream of thinly documented patches.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Eventzilla and Goldcast — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Eventzilla's feed wakes up after 18 months with two event-marketing blog posts.
Eventzilla's feed was silent from March 2025, when five new event landing-page themes shipped, until October 1, 2026, when two marketing posts appeared: one on building registration pages that convert and one on overhyped event marketing tactics. The rest of the feed is evergreen event-planning content from 2024.
Goldcast's Content Lab clips now pick up branding without manual edits
Goldcast runs B2B events and turns recordings into clips through Content Lab. Since September, AI-generated clips inherit branding from their source or the Brand Kit, Content Lab added bulk download and delete, 5-second skips, simpler uploads and better templates, and organizers can set how long event magic links stay valid after an event. Earlier came dynamic stage layouts and a central brand asset store.

The blog has resumed, but with advice content rather than product news. The registration-page post sits close to the product's own registration pages, which may be where future product updates land.
Unclear from the feed; more marketing posts are likelier than a product release.

Post-event content production is getting most of the work, with the July brand store now feeding clip generation automatically.
More Content Lab editing features are likely; the entries do not show new live-event work since August.
