The journey from script to screen is full of challenges in the ever-evolving world of film and television. The industry has always innovated, and over the last decade, it started moving towards cloud-based workflows. However, unlocking cloud innovation and all its benefits on a global scale has proven to be difficult. The opportunity is clear: streamline complex media management logistics, eliminate tedious, non-creative task-based work and enable productions to focus on what matters most–creative storytelling. With these challenges in mind, Netflix has developed a suite of tools by filmmakers for filmmakers: the Media Production Suite (MPS).

从剧本到银幕的旅程充满了挑战，在不断发展的电影和电视世界中。这个行业一直在创新，在过去十年中，它开始朝着基于云的工作流程发展。然而，在全球范围内解锁云创新及其所有好处被证明是困难的。机会是显而易见的：简化复杂的媒体管理物流，消除繁琐的非创意任务工作，使制作能够专注于最重要的事情——创意叙事。考虑到这些挑战，Netflix开发了一套由电影制作人为电影制作人设计的工具：媒体制作套件（MPS）。

Significant time and resources are devoted to managing media logistics throughout the production lifecycle. An average Netflix title produces around ~200 Terabytes of Original Camera Files (OCF), with outliers up to 700 Terabytes, not including any work-in-progress files, VFX assets, 3D assets, etc. The data produced on set is traditionally copied to physical tape stock like LTO. This workflow has been considered the industry norm for a long time and may be cost-effective, but comes with trade-offs. Aside from needing to physically ship and track all movement of the tape stock, storing media on a physical tape makes it harder to search, play and share media assets; slowing down accessibility to production media when needed, especially when titles need to collaborate with talent and vendors all over the world.

在整个制作生命周期中，管理媒体物流需要投入大量时间和资源。一个平均的Netflix标题大约会产生~200 Terabytes的原始摄像机文件 (OCF)，极端情况下可达700 Terabytes，不包括任何进行中的文件、VFX资产、3D资产等。拍摄现场产生的数据传统上会复制到物理磁带存储上，如LTO。这种工作流程长期以来被视为行业标准，虽然可能具有成本效益，但也有其权衡。除了需要物理...
