I downloaded a trial version. This looks like a great program. Love the simplicity of it.

Not too sure how *FCP* users actually need this, seeing that they can make camera archives from within FCP and “capture” from the archive. Boom, you already have two copies.
And if you, like me, have a Time Machine backup of the disk holding the archives you even have three.
Superb promo either way.

I wish you the best in your campaign.

The point of it is more for location work than for FCP users. But, I like to manage and control my media outside of the NLE. So, I definitely would use it long before I would do camera archives inside FCP X. That’s an inherently closed system.
As for PProCC users, they also have Prelude, which can do the same thing, along with create selects and string outs.

??
How is it “closed”? It’s even less closed than e.g. creating simple disk images. A simple right-click on the Mac and you have full access to its contents and under windows it shows up as a regular folder. Best part (for me), too, is that if favorited you have quick and immediate access to it as the source via the import window (as if it were the original) should you need to use “Reimport from Camera/Card”.And I’m not saying the app is useless per se, I just don’t see myself spending money on redundant functionality that FCP already has. And if I needed additional/other checksummed camera media backups, I could get that for free with Resolve 11 for example. Or get Shotput Pro or Auto Transfer from Digital Rebellion and get added automation and oodles of other functionality, even if they are more expensive. Great app I’m sure, just saying there are alternatives and have been for a while.
But the biggest irony of course being that if this kind of functionality didn’t exist already in FCP, but elsewhere (i.e. the other way around) the pundits would be all over it with the usual “I have to buy a bunch of extra stuff!” meme. But this way, anything additional that is in fact redundant is of course suddenly redundantly BETTER. 😀 It’s hilarious.
Whatever. To each his own, right? 😉

How is this different from Shotput Pro, which is what we use now?

FCPx is OSX only. ShotPut Pro and Offload are both cross-platform.

Again, I’m merely referring to the case where someone is in fact using FCP X in general, yes. And like I said, the actual archives are fully accessible on both platforms, whether FCP X is installed or not. That it’s not necessarily the most ideal one-size-fits-all on-set DIT solution is a given, yes. Just saying, since I know from experience that only extremely few X users even know the option exists or know how to use it.

At first glance, it appears to be different in a few crucial ways.
It is read once, write once, Shotput Pro is read once, write many.
It only allows 2 destinations, Shotput Pro offers more than two.
I do like the simplicity of it, though.
