Offload Wrangler

Get the cards off. Prove it arrived.

A card offloader that treats verification as the job, not a checkbox. Copy to several drives at once, checksum every file, and hand the production a report that shows what actually landed.

Version 1.0.23 macOS 15.0 or later Apple Silicon

A copy that finishes without an error message is not the same as a copy you can erase the card after. Wrangler re-reads what it wrote, compares it byte for byte, and writes the evidence next to the footage.

Copy the card to several drives at once, checksum every file, and hand the production a report that shows what actually landed — the whole workflow in one sitting. Hosted on YouTube; nothing is fetched from there until you press play.

Why people buy it

Get the cards off. Prove it arrived.

01

Several destinations at once

Shuttle, backup and archive in one pass, each with its own verification level. The card is read once.

02

Checksums that mean something

MD5 for broadcast delivery or xxHash3 when speed matters. Broadcast level re-reads both sides and compares; Quick checks existence and size; the level used is written into every log.

03

Media report with four frames per clip

A PDF listing every copied file with beginning, one third, two thirds and end taken from the copy on the drive — plus resolution, codec, frame rate, duration, timecode and the checksum it passed on. Audio gets a waveform.

What it looks like

Offload Wrangler with three destinations queued and the flow diagram
One card, three destinations, each with its own verification level. The diagram on the right shows where the bytes are going while they go.
A finished batch reporting copied and verified successfully
Finished: every file copied and checked. The card is only safe to erase once this says so.
A media report PDF with four frames per clip
The media report that lands in every destination — four frames per clip, the technical data, and the checksum each file passed on.

And the rest of it

Everything else it does

Verification log in every destination

A plain text log travels with the footage: source, destination, method, every file and its hash. Readable in ten years without this app.

Re-verify without copying

Check an existing clone against the card before you erase it — full re-hash, or a fast size and existence pass.

Clone names from a preset

Project code, running number and date, so every roll lands in a folder named the way the production asked for.

Questions

What people ask

Which checksums does it use?

MD5, the one most broadcast delivery specifications ask for, or xxHash3 when speed matters. The method used is written into every log, so the receiving side can see what was checked.

What do the verification levels mean?

Broadcast re-reads both the source and the copy after writing and compares them byte for byte. Quick checks that every file exists and has the right size. Each destination can have its own level.

Can it copy to several drives at once?

Yes. Shuttle, backup and archive in one pass, each with its own verification level. The card is read once.

What is in the media report?

A PDF listing every copied file with four frames taken from the copy on the drive, at the start, one third, two thirds and the end, plus resolution, codec, frame rate, duration, timecode and the checksum it passed. Audio files get a waveform.

Where does the verification log go?

A plain text log travels with the footage in every destination: source, destination, method, every file and its hash. It can be read in ten years without this app.

Can I verify a copy I made earlier?

Yes. Verify Existing Copy checks a clone against the card before you erase it, either with a full re-hash or with a fast pass that checks existence and size.

How do the folders get their names?

From a preset: project code, running number and date. Every roll lands in a folder named the way the production asked for.

What does the trial count?

Five successful offloads within six months. Runs under 1 GB never count, and neither do runs that failed, so a test card costs nothing. Verification and reports in the trial are identical to the paid app.

What does it need?

A Mac with Apple Silicon running macOS 15 or later. ffmpeg is bundled; there is nothing else to install.
