The parts of ingest you shouldn't have to think about.
Copy, verify, eject — automatically
Every file is copied with a live checksum — one read, not two — then confirmed byte-for-byte before it counts as safe. The moment the card is truly done, ShotGrab ejects it for you. No more guessing, no more counting to sixty in your head.
Multiple destinations
Set a second drive, a third, a NAS — ShotGrab copies to all of them in a cascade, verified file by file, right after the primary copy is done. The card leaves your reader as fast as the fastest drive allows, not the slowest.
Smart, automatic subfolders
Files land exactly where they belong — by date, camera, client, project, whatever pattern you choose — sorted before you've even opened the folder. No flat dump of four thousand files to sort through after a twelve-hour day.
Create multiple projects, leave them listening
Pick a project once. Every card you connect after that gets recognized and imported on its own — while you keep editing the ones already copied. No dialogs, no re-choosing a destination for card six of the day.
Proof for a client, verified whenever you want
Every project keeps an import report — file name, size, checksum, camera and arrival time — one CSV you can hand to a client or a production. And because an archive can change after the fact, the integrity check rereads it anytime and compares it against what was recorded at copy time, without opening a single file by hand.
Camera names that read right, automatically
Cameras rarely report their own name the way you'd write it by hand. A short list of corrections — set once, applied globally — cleans up a model or lens name wherever it lands in a folder path, on every project from then on. The same settings page also lets you exclude a file type entirely, so proxy files or thumbnails never reach the archive.
I lost 100 files. That's why ShotGrab exists.
On a multi-camera shoot, I kept exiting DaVinci mid-edit to import new cards by hand between takes — until it cost me 100 files in one day. Every tool I tried afterward did one thing or the other: copy safely, or organize well, never both. I didn't want to give up how I organize my footage. So I built ShotGrab.
