Documentation

The whole purpose of the application is to simplify the process of importing videos from SD cards. There are two main use cases for the application:

1. Single Import

During camps (Angle, Vertical, etc.) you usually import videos from multiple SD Cards. Each SD Card has an owner. I have found that some people import them as 1 Mark.mp4, 1 Max.mp4, 1 John.mp4, 2 Mark.mp4, 2 Max.mp4, 2 John.mp4, etc. The app will remember the names you give the SD Card (based on the unique identifier of the SD Card), and on import you can define a pattern for the filename. For example {today}/{jump} {name}, so the files will be imported to the selected folder and will be named like 2025-01-25/1 Mark.mp4, 2025-01-25/1 Max.mp4, 2025-01-25/1 John.mp4, etc.

2. Batch Import

This is made for people who are importing videos from SD Cards to the computer for themselves. You save the last number of jumps you did, say 1234, and enable auto-increment. So when you import 6 videos with the format {date} {jump} {name}, it will import them as 2025-01-25 1235 Mark.mp4, 2025-01-25 1236 Max.mp4, 2025-01-25 1237 John.mp4, etc.
