Platform Migration

Content Migration

Move assets between platforms or storage systems with automated metadata mapping, transcoding, and validation.

Zero manual handoffs Source to destination platform

Why is content migration so painful for media teams?

Moving a content catalog from one platform to another is one of the most operationally complex tasks a media team faces. Most teams underestimate the coordination cost until they are in the middle of it.

  • Metadata fields do not match between source and destination systems
  • Video assets may be stored across multiple storage locations
  • Subtitle tracks get lost or mistimed during migration
  • Manual CSV mapping is required for every metadata field difference
  • Broken media references are only discovered after the migration completes
  • A catalog of 10,000 titles can take weeks of engineering time to migrate

Without automation, content migration is a high-risk, high-effort project that delays platform launches and ties up engineering resources for months.

How it works.

Real example 2,400 assets scheduled for migration. Flow runs overnight — fetching, mapping metadata, transcoding, and creating CMS records — with a full validation report ready by morning.

Common scenarios.

Legacy CMS migration

Move a catalog from a legacy CMS into a modern OTT platform. Flow fetches, maps metadata, re-transcodes where needed, and publishes every asset automatically.

Storage migration

Move video assets from on-premises storage to cloud object storage. Flow handles the transfer, validates file integrity, and updates all CMS references.

Platform rebuild

Launching a new OTT service and need to transfer an existing catalog. Flow migrates all assets, metadata, and subtitles in batch before launch day.

Archive normalisation

A legacy library of content needs cleaning and normalising before re-publishing. Flow standardises metadata schemas and re-transcodes to current delivery specs.

Without Flow vs With Enveu Flow

✕ Without Flow
  • Manual CSV export from source platform
  • Custom scripts written per migration project
  • Metadata mapping done field by field manually
  • Transcoding jobs triggered and monitored manually
  • Broken references discovered post-migration
  • Weeks of engineering time for large catalogs
✓ With Enveu Flow
  • Automated fetch from any source platform or storage
  • Schema mapping configured once and reused
  • All metadata fields mapped and validated automatically
  • Transcoding runs as part of the migration pipeline
  • Validation checks run before publish - errors flagged early
  • Large catalogs migrated in batch with full audit log

Frequently asked questions.

Flow can migrate video assets, metadata, subtitle files, thumbnail images, and custom field data. The migration pipeline handles file transfer, format conversion, metadata mapping, and CMS record creation automatically.
Flow includes a configurable field mapping layer. You define how source fields map to destination fields once, and Flow applies the mapping automatically for every asset in the migration. Custom fields, categories, and tags are all supported.
Both. Flow supports single-asset triggered migrations and batch processing for full catalog migrations. For large catalogs, Flow processes assets in parallel with configurable concurrency limits to control throughput.
Flow runs configurable validation checks after each migration - verifying file integrity, checking that metadata fields are populated correctly, and confirming playback URLs are accessible. Failed validations are logged and flagged for review.
Yes. Every migration job is logged with full input and output inspection - source asset details, mapped metadata, destination record ID, validation results, and any errors. The audit log is available for review and export.
