After the review: where production assets persist and get governed
MediaSilo excels at review and approval workflows. Core handles what comes after: keeping assets persistent across seasons and productions, making them findable for downstream teams, and governing access long after the review cycle ends. Built on Sohonet’s deep experience supporting major studio workflows.
- Long-term persistence beyond the review cycle, catalogued across productions
- Governed downstream access for mixed-permission business and creative teams
- Trusted by Marvel, Netflix, HBO, and every major Hollywood studio
Review platforms solve the approval problem: not the persistence problem
Review and approval tools are designed for the collaboration cycle, watching, annotating, approving. The challenge that follows, keeping production assets findable and governed across seasons, productions, and years, is a different problem that review platforms weren't built to solve.
Assets disappear after the review cycle closes
Review platforms organise assets around active projects. When a project closes, those assets become difficult to find, poorly catalogued, and inaccessible to downstream teams who need them months or years later. Franchise teams, licensing departments, and marketing groups routinely lose access to production assets because the review platform moved on.
Mixed-permission access for non-review teams
Business teams, licensing, legal, marketing, executives, need access to production assets on terms that don't fit a review platform's access model. Core provides role-appropriate access for every team downstream of production, without requiring them to navigate a review tool's workflow.
Multi-season and cross-production cataloguing
Series productions and franchise libraries need cataloguing depth that goes beyond individual project organisation. Finding footage from Season 2 of a series while cutting Season 4 requires the kind of cross-production searchability that review platforms don't provide.
The system of record that outlasts every review cycle
Core manages the asset lifecycle that extends far beyond any individual review project, franchise catalogues, cross-season continuity, and governed downstream access for every team that needs to find and use production assets.
Core maintains searchable, governed asset catalogues across multiple productions and seasons, with the metadata depth and search architecture that makes finding assets from three seasons ago as reliable as finding assets from last week. One persistent system of record for the full franchise.
Core's permission architecture supports multiple access models within the same platform, production teams, executive reviewers, licensing teams, marketing groups, and external vendors each get an interface and access level appropriate to their role. No bolt-on access models, no platform switching.
Marvel, Netflix, HBO, and every major Hollywood studio trust Core. Full audit trails, forensic watermarking, and MPA-aligned infrastructure ensure that every asset interaction is tracked from production through distribution, the chain-of-custody that review platforms don't provide.

"Core is an important part of the modern pipeline we created at the studio. It is what keeps all our lines of business in sync with the studio and our productions. I couldn't imagine managing what we do without it."

We use MediaSilo for review, does Core replace it?
Not necessarily, Core and review platforms serve different stages of the asset lifecycle and can coexist. Core handles long-term persistence, franchise cataloguing, and business-team governance. If your review workflow is working well in MediaSilo, that doesn't need to change. Core handles what comes after.
Can Core handle the transition from an active review project to a long-term catalogue?
Yes, Core manages both active production and long-term catalogue within the same platform. When a production closes, assets move from WIP to catalogue without a platform change. The continuity between active production and long-term catalogue is one of Core's core design principles.
