Loki Automation

What Loki Automation is

Loki Automation is a workflow tool from Filmworkz for restoring, enhancing, converting and delivering media with its DVO Tools. Watch folders and user-defined presets let teams automate repeated image-processing work and batch jobs. Its browser-based interface includes a dynamic preview for setup and monitoring, while the full version adds a preview window, variable export settings and a control panel for configuring and tracking jobs. Loki can run alongside Filmworkz Phoenix and third-party systems such as Resolve, Mistika and Scratch. The full-featured version also has an API for connecting with third-party infrastructure, including media asset management systems. Teams can expand from one workstation to a network setup by adding processing nodes. Filmworkz identifies restoration artists, broadcasters, post-production facilities and archives as users it supports. Loki is a Windows application, with web and API access also listed. Filmworkz offers a Loki Render subscription for $149 a month, which requires an active Phoenix licence. Each subscription instance is node-locked to one machine. A full version is also described with watchfolder automation, DVO tools, preview and presets, but its price is not shown.

Loki suits restoration artists, broadcasters, archives and post-production facilities that need to automate image-processing and delivery jobs. It can support a single workstation or a network environment with added processing nodes, and can operate alongside Phoenix and named third-party systems.
