This post reviews the Slipstream file streaming feature of Resilio Active Everywhere with an Autodesk ShotGrid integration using a webhooks workflow. Here’s my GitHub repository<\/a> for that workflow. This post is not sponsored.<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n For a couple of years now, I’ve been wondering about the best setups for data distribution in visual effects. How do you get shots to clients? How do you make it easy for artists, working from a million different places, to access data and plates?<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2024, I wrote<\/a> about a new company called Suite Studios<\/a>, and recently in August, I revisited the subject, writing<\/a> about the whole landscape for file streaming and data distribution in hybrid environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Baked Studios, I put together a workflow<\/a> that incorporated file streaming, and it worked for the most part, but there were always some parameters and features that didn’t work perfectly for us. It seemed impossible to find a platform that could tick every box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s September 2025 now, and I think I’ve found the workflow I was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Resilio announced in June 2025 that their 4.2 release<\/a> included a file-streaming feature called Slipstream. Shortly after, at the beginning of September, they announced a partnership with Sohonet<\/a>, the company behind the media sending platform FileRunner<\/a>. Between these new additions and the already existing sync features of Resilio Active Everywhere<\/a>, Resilio has fully become the end-to-end platform needed for something like this in VFX.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIntroduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
