Netflix's Media Production Suite (MPS) integrates FilmLight's API (FLAPI) to handle camera file processing at scale across hundreds of productions globally. The system automates inspection of camera metadata on ingest, generates VFX plates and deliverables using open standards like ACES and ASC FDL, and runs as serverless Docker-based functions on Netflix's Cosmos compute platform. By using CPU-only cloud instances and elastic scaling, Netflix achieves parallel processing of thousands of renders during peak workloads without fixed hardware constraints. The partnership with FilmLight allows Netflix to focus on workflow orchestration while leveraging FilmLight's deep camera format expertise, reducing manual effort and turnaround times for productions worldwide.
