Flix tech specs.

Flix runs smoothly on all major operating systems, integrating with ease into your production pipeline.

Flix Server - Recommended Requirements

Linux

Operating System

  • CentOS 7 64-bit (this will be deprecated in future releases)
  • Rocky 9

RAM

Note: The volume where the /tmp directory resides should have at least twice as much free space as the largest AAF imported into Flix. We recommend at least 16 GB, which is enough for most studios.
