Automate Your Pipeline: Mistika Workflows Now Integrates with MASV

It’s time to face facts: Automating your video production workflow is one of the most high-priority tasks that you’re not doing. With deadlines constantly looming, time is constantly short. But the new MASV-Mistika Workflows integration changes everything.

• Mistika Worflows lets you build smart, scalable automations without writing a single line of code. Everything from ingest, transcode, and delivery can be orchestrated within Mistika Workflows.
• With MASV natively integrated with Mistika Workflows, you can expand your automations all the way from ingest to delivery.

Because if your workflow still starts or ends with a manual upload… it’s not a real workflow. Sorry.

What is Mistika Workflows?

Creative studios spend countless hours crafting, maintaining, and updating automated workflows to handle ingest, transcoding, and delivery of files. Sometimes it’s nothing but duct tape and determination holding it together. But Mistika Workflows can help.

Mistika Workflows is a node-based media automation platform from SGO, trusted by leading broadcasters, post-production studios, and immersive storytellers around the world.

Whether you’re processing dailies or preparing deliverables, Mistika lets you chain together powerful automations — all without touching code.

Now with native MASV support, you can build high-performance file delivery directly into your workflow graph. This means processed media can be automatically added to a MASV package or uploaded to one MASV’s flexible and powerful Portals, triggering fast and secure file transfers to anywhere in the world.

Why Integrate MASV with Mistika?

Most media workflows stop short of the finish line. Files get processed and then they’re off to someone on your team to manually upload to an old-school FTP, or – god forbid – sent to a courier to deliver a hard drive. That final step is a hidden time-suck that slows everything down and generates real risk for your business.

By integrating MASV directly into Mistika Workflows, you can:

• Automate the final mile of your workflow with zero friction.
• Deliver files to multiple destinations (cloud storage, on-prem storage, MAMs, and review platforms) without touching a thing.
• Stay fast and secure using MASV’s high-speed, encrypted file transfer.

This helps you fully automate VFX pulls to external vendors, proxy generation and delivery, and uploading dailies to review platforms.

ROI: Really. Obvious. Innovation.

Post-production is a deadline-driven business. Every second counts, especially when you’re juggling multiple projects, clients, and deliverables. But file delivery is often a time thief in your workflow, consuming more resources than anyone budgets for.

So – what’s the potential return on investment with this integration? Let’s say you have:

• 10 file deliveries per week.
• That means 20 to 30 minutes per delivery including file prep, uploads, folder routing, email notifications, and double-checks.
• That’s four to five hours per week that can be saved on routine tasks that could be automated.

Multiply that across a 10-person post team? You’re looking at 100 to 200 hours per month lost to manual handoffs and notifications – hours that can be saved through automations enabled by the MASV-Mistika Workflows integration.

Automate Everything, From Ingest to Delivery

Because MASV Portals are fully configurable and support one-to-many delivery, you can set up a single node to handle multiple storage destinations – with all file deliveries conducted automatically. That means your team not only saves time but also eliminates errors, accelerates feedback loops, and gets back to the real work.

Imagine the following scenario:

1. MASV delivers original camera media to your on-prem server.
2. Mistika kicks off transcoding for dailies, review, and mezzanine codecs.
3. An upload to a MASV Portal is triggered for each to upload to the editorial team’s server, to Frame.io for producers to review, and to S3 for backup and archive.
4. Each team is notified by email or Slack that files have been delivered to their respective destination.
5. When they log on, the files are ready and waiting.

Mistika Workflows + MASV eliminates operational drag, reduces risk, and lets your team spend more time finishing and less time babysitting transfers.
