What Loki Automation is
Loki Automation is Filmworkz software for automating restoration, enhancement, conversion, and delivery workflows using DVO Tools. Watch folders and user-defined presets handle repetitive image processing and batch jobs. A browser interface provides a dynamic preview for setup and monitoring; the full version also includes a preview window, variable export settings, and a control panel for configuring and monitoring jobs. Loki can operate alongside Phoenix and third-party systems including Resolve, Mistika, and Scratch. Its full-featured version includes an API for connecting to third-party infrastructure such as media asset management systems. Processing can expand from a workstation to a network environment by adding nodes. Filmworkz names restoration artists, broadcasters, post-production facilities, and archives as supported users. Loki is a Windows application, with web and API access also listed. The Loki Render plan costs $149 a month and requires an active Phoenix licence; its subscription instance is tied to one machine.
