1. A system for configuring legacy file-based workflows to remotely and dynamically access media essence, the system comprising:
a media essence repository configured to store a media asset that comprises at least one of a clip, a video, an audio and a caption;
a media essence access database configured to store access metadata that includes access configurations for accessing the media asset from the media essence repository and including a track number and byte length of the media asset;
a memory and a processor configured to implement instructions on the memory so as to provide:
a filename generator configured to dynamically generate a filename for the media asset in response to a selection of the media asset by a file-based workflow application running on a media production computing device, and
an identity file generator configured to generate an identity file for the media asset that includes the dynamically generated filename and only meaningless data content; and

a content application programming interface (API) configured to:
query the media essence access database using a unique character sequence of the generated identity file to obtain the metadata that indicates the access configurations for the media asset, and
configure the file-based workflow application to access the media asset from the media essence repository using the accessed track number and byte length of the media asset.
