MASV Drives Enterprise Media Workflow Transformation with Frame.io V4 Integration
Easy to deploy, scalable capture-to-cloud workflows automate repetitive manual tasks and accelerate production timelines for large-scale enterprise teams OTTAWA, ON / ACCESS Newswire / April 3, 2025 / MASV, the fastest large file transfer platform for media professionals, is revolutionizing enterprise media workflows by enabling faster, more reliable, and scalable capture-to-cloud workflows through its upcoming integration with V4.

By enabling faster, more reliable capture-to-cloud workflows, MASV helps businesses maximize operational efficiency and achieve seamless global collaboration in an increasingly fast-paced industry. MASV transforms media workflows by automating the transfer and organization of massive files.

"By eliminating delays and enabling real-time collaboration, we're fostering a more agile, future-ready infrastructure-aligned with the forward-thinking principles of the MovieLabs 2030 Vision."
