ENHANCE YOUR TEAMS PRODUCTIVITY WITH AUTOMATED WORKFLOWS

Boost Productivity: Intelligent Workflow Automation

Automation adds a workflow orchestration layer to your FLOW system. Repetitive tasks like copying, moving, deleting, transcoding and organizing projects or media spaces can be triggered at regular times or based on user actions. Using simple drag and drop tools admin users can create their own workflow templates that run on demand. An intuitive display shows the jobs created from these templates and allows admin users to change priorities.

Simplify complexities in your workflow such as batch ingest, transcoding, QC-ing and delivering content

Use custom event and time-based triggers to kick off workflows such as review/approval, transcoding from watch folders, archiving and more

Save time and effort with fully automated AI-driven tagging, metadata, captioning and transcription services

Automate transcoding to an extensive choice of codecs

AUTOMATE

Design Your Own Template-Driven Workflows

Use FLOW Automation’s workflow designer to create simple or complex workflow templates using Triggers, Inputs, Tasks and Filters. Workflow templates are built graphically on screen using a node based application in the style of a process flowchart. Drag the node from the palette menu and start building complex workflows in minutes. Maximize your infrastructure’s potential by running hundreds of automation jobs simultaneously.

ENHANCE YOUR TEAMS PRODUCTIVITY WITH AUTOMATED WORKFLOWS

Take Advantage of Pre-Designed Tasks

Some of the following tasks can be included in an automation job, in any combination:

Deliver clips, sequences and full packages direct to cloud providers

Transcode and deliver finished sequences to playout vendors

Orchestrate QC next steps with QScan, Interra Baton and Vidcheck integration

Move media from different tiers of EFS storage, e.g production to nearline

Manage the transfer of mass media with Aspera accelerated file transfer

Copy or move files from one folder to another

Transcode media to a specified format and save to a specified location

Delete media, metadata or archives with complete peace of mind

Export clip metadata to XML formats

Add or remove clips from FLOW Projects

Quick, normal or full scans of Media Spaces with optional auto-delete and proxy generation

Send an email notification to confirm an automation job is complete

Trigger Jobs

Triggers define how a workflow is started. A workflow can be triggered based on a specific day or time (either once or recurring), or a pre-defined change of metadata.

Prioritize Jobs

The monitor view displays all activated templates, including the Name, Status, Time, and queue position of each template. Jobs can be prioritized by dragging a job to its desired queue position.

AUTOMATE

Scalable Architecture

FLOW Automation can scale to accommodate any workflow or number of jobs by offloading processing intensive tasks such as transcoding to Production Nodes. Any number of FLOW Production Nodes can be added to an EditShare configuration.
