Most people I work with manually dump thousands of files at the end of their shoot day (myself included.) A stack of cards, hard drives, and waiting for one card to finish before starting the next. All of this is followed by checking each dump to make sure nothing was missed. A new software app from Red Giant is looking to help this process, without bogging users down with extra steps.
This new application is aptly named "Offload," and going the way of TV remotes made for senior citizens, provides big windows with bright colors and text to make it very easy and fast to see what the status of your media dump is at.
Here's a short how-to video that demostrates the process.
Offload brings some of the same verification technology to the table that Bulletproof does, but without all the extra bells and whistles that you get with BP.
If quick and dirty is your preferred method of footage offloading, Offload might be worth a look. It maintains the same basic approach, but in a much more elegant way, plus the added bonus of verification and easier backups.
If you want to give this a test drive, you can download a free trial of Offload from Red Giant.
