SGO is excited to unveil a major upgrade to Workflows Creator, introducing Workflows Slate, the pioneering, modern way to create and automate burn-in overlays and slate templates. Combined with native ACES 2.0 support, a new Common LUT Format (CLF) node, expanded cloud connectivity, and several new workflow tools and performance enhancements, this latest release pushes media automation even further.
Workflows Slate: Your new favorite way for creating burn-ins and slates
With the introduction of Workflows Slate, Workflows Creator transforms the use of burn-in and slate templates into a fully automated process.
Designed as the modern alternative to traditional template creation, Workflows Slate allows users to visually build professional layouts and have Workflows Creator automatically populate every element with workflow metadata.
Whether producing review copies, client deliverables, archive masters, compliance files, or broadcast packages, users can automatically generate burn-ins and slates with consistent branding, accurate dynamic metadata, and zero repetitive manual work.
As part of the official release, all new and existing Workflows Creator customers will enjoy access to Workflows Slate for the first 90 days free of charge.
Ready for the next generation of color pipelines
Modern workflows demand modern color management.
That’s why Workflows Creator now includes a native ACES 2.0 node, enabling facilities to adopt the latest generation of the Academy Color Encoding System directly inside automated workflows.
Users can build future-ready pipelines with improved color consistency, updated transforms, and greater interoperability across creative applications – ensuring reliable results from ingest to final delivery.
Alongside ACES 2.0, the new CommonLUT Format (CLF) node brings support for the industry’s standard LUT exchange format, making color transforms easier to share, standardize, and automate across multi-vendor environments.
Together, these additions make Workflows Creator an even stronger platform for facilities looking to modernize their professional color pipelines without adding operational complexity.
More connections. More automation.
This release also expands Workflows Creator with new integrations and workflow capabilities, including:
- New Azure In and Azure Out nodes for seamless cloud storage integration
- A new Media Silo node for automated media exchange and collaboration
- A new OTIO node for automatically creating timelines
- A new ARRI Reference Tool node
- Dynamic per-frame metadata support for Sony and ARRI RAW
- GPU-accelerated performance enhancements for Apple Metal with H264/H265 and other broadcast codecs
- Deinterlace mode for Transcoder nodes, providing additional processing flexibility
- Discord notifications for production monitoring
Each new integration removes another manual step, helping facilities connect more systems, automate more processes, and move media through production with less intervention.
This new version has been built to help media teams spend less time operating workflows and more time delivering content. To learn more about the complete list of improvements, visit the official Workflows Creator Forum.
