How to connect to MediaSilo

Step-by-step guide to integrate MASV with your MediaSilo project

MediaSilo lets you store, collaborate, present, and analyze your video production assets. You can let your remote collaborators upload to your MediaSilo project by connecting it to a MASV Portal. Your collaborators don't even need an account with MediaSilo or MASV.

As a MASV user, you can also send MASV packages to your MediaSilo project from the MASV Web app’s Transfer History.

You can request metadata from your collaborators to include it in your MediaSilo project.

Note: Each file that you send to MediaSilo can be up to 30 GB. There is no limit on the number of files that you send from MASV to MediaSilo.

Before you begin

To transfer files from MASV to MediaSilo, you need to do the following:

Do This For More Information
Create a MediaSilo project to receive files from MASV. Create and Manage Projects

Assign a MediaSilo user to the project. This user must have these permissions for the project: View, Delete, Edit, Upload.

 Permissions
Get a MediaSilo API key and secret for the MediaSilo user. Auth

Tip: We recommend that you create a MediaSilo user that you dedicate only to receiving files from MASV. From example, create a MediaSilo user named MASV that you assign only to the projects that you want to receive from MASV. This way, you can reduce security risks and your other MediaSilo users won't be affected.

Next, Connect MASV to MediaSilo

To let your collaborators send files to your MediaSilo project, you first add a MASV cloud integration for your MediaSilo project, then add this cloud integration to a MASV Portal. 

Note: To add a cloud integration, you need to be a MASV team owner or admin.

  7. In Sidecar Options, select any of the following options:
    1. Save custom fields and metadata to MAM: Enable the checkbox to transfer metadata to your Media Asset Manager (MAM). Only fields created in MASV are used when saving metadata to the MAM.
