SGO announced a new integration for Mistika Workflows, the Hedge EditReady Server transcoding engine, designed to enhance media transcoding efficiency, especially for users working within the macOS ecosystem.
With the EditReady Server node, Mistika Workflows now offers an even more flexible solution for transcoding, said Jesús Rodriguez, Workflow Solutions Architect at SGO.
“The EditReady Server node is natively optimized for macOS, ensuring the full advantage of the system’s capabilities, whether you’re running on an Intel or Apple Silicon CPU. This makes it an ideal solution for content creators working in Mac-based environments.”
Workflow automation is a historically hard nut to crack, so it’s great to finally see a simple-to-use solution come to market with SGO’s Mistika Workflows, added Paul Matthijs, CEO at Hedge.
The integration between Mistika Workflows and EditReady Server is a significant advancement for General Assembly, says Tanner Alvarez, Head of Post Production.
“It allows us to offer complimentary automated proxy generation to all of our clients and move quicker from camera to edit. This has a huge benefit for our quick turnaround and live projects, all while remaining a cost-efficient solution. Additionally, the scalability of this integration ensures that as our projects grow in scope, our workflows can easily adapt to meet increasing demands. Hedge and Mistika Workflows provides General Assembly the ability to increase the value of our existing services seamlessly.”
High-quality results with customizable presets
The EditReady Server node provides access to the full range of transcode presets available in the server application. Users can apply these presets to their media files directly within Mistika Workflows, ensuring high-quality output every time. Additionally, custom presets created in EditReady Server can also be selected, giving you complete control over your transcoding settings.
Multi-node flexibility
For complex workflows, multiple EditReady nodes can be chained together. For instance, you might first transcode RAW footage to ProRes Proxy and then convert those files to H.264, all within the same workflow. This flexibility allows for the creation of highly specialized and efficient media pipelines tailored to your specific needs.
