Review copies off your queue, without the render queue.
silken makes your review copies, screeners, dubbing work copies and platform files from the master in your own storage and back next to it. Your render farm stays on the creative work, and you pay per delivered minute of video, with no input fee and never per gigabyte.

Review copies, screeners, proxies and distribution masters, made by API from the approved master, with an SDR version that follows your trim. Your media system sends the work; your QC, review and delivery tools stay.
The servicing renders, off your render farm.
Your finishing suite makes the master. silken takes the repetitive servicing renders around it, one job spec per deliverable type, and your MAM hears when each copy lands. Keep Resolve and your transcoder for the creative and mastering work.

An SDR version that follows your trim.
Retail specs ask for an SDR master that differs from the HDR one only in colour space, and that is your colourist's trim. Send the trim and the SDR copies are made from it; when the master carries trim metadata, silken uses it. Every setting is exposed so your colourist signs off the result against the grade.
“The only acceptable difference between the SDR and HDR mezzanine file is the colorspace.”
Save the recipe once per show.
A profile and its tuning are saved on your account. Every request for the show names the recipe, so episode 9 is made exactly like episode 1, whoever submits it.
- Private by construction. Pre-release masters are read from your storage through signed URLs, and every copy is written back there.
- Your naming. Outputs land under the prefix and file names your facility already uses.
- Through your QC. Copies are judged on your own QC, the same as any other vendor's renders.
Questions
Do pre-release masters stay private?
Yes. Masters are read from your own storage through signed URLs and every output is written back there.
Can we reuse the same settings on every job?
Yes. Save one job spec per deliverable type and send it with every request, so every screener and proxy for a show is made the same way.
Does the SDR version follow our trim?
Yes. Send the colourist’s SDR trim and the SDR copies are made from it; silken reads the dynamic metadata already in a master to make the SDR version. Every setting is exposed for your colourist to sign off.
Send us your hardest files.
Send five released titles. We make your usual review and distribution set and you pass it through your own QC tools. We agree the results date after engineering confirms capacity. You see the turnaround per title, the pass rate, a spec sheet and the monthly price. Free within the standard scope.
