Case Study: The Mill achieves real-time, up to 200× faster global collaboration on multi‑GB visual FX with Aspera Sync

The Speed Benefits Provided By Aspera Software Give The Mill More Time To Work On Visual Fx

The Mill is a global post‑production studio creating visual effects for advertising, film, TV, games and music. Working across New York, London and Los Angeles on multi‑GB, terabyte‑scale projects, teams were forced to queue for access to large files and could not replicate content between sites quickly enough, slowing production cycles and delaying delivery.

By deploying Aspera Sync (built on Aspera fasp transport), The Mill enabled multidirectional, full‑bandwidth transfers of new and changed data between sites, supporting real‑time 24/7 collaboration. The result: workflows that run up to 200× faster, more time for creative work, and the ability to take on larger, geographically distributed projects.
