I love the email and text alerts notifying you when files have been copied and verified. ShotPut Pro certainly has a lot of features and the new improved user interface is nice to use. These are potentially disastrous errors that if you’re serious about your data back up, are worth the cost of some time to catch. The idea behind this process, while it too costs a bit more time, helps detect failing cards, over-heating cards or card readers giving off inconsistent data. I also found out that in Advanced Preferences settings, the default is to read the source files a second pass when calculating checksums. The only negative thing I found about ShotPut Pro is that if someone enables the PDF report option with thumbnails, that of course costs some time since the files are further interrogated to extract metadata and thumbnails. This gives you peace of mind and you don’t have to sit around and wait and check if your files were offloaded and verified. As with previous versions of ShotPut Pro you can also have the program text or email you a report once your offload is complete. One thing to bear in mind: this only works if you’re copying multiple files, if you are just copying one long file, it will not let you pause the copying process.Īlso new is the ability to create PDF reports with a company logo, offload name, metadata and thumbnails for each video file. Even if you eject hard drives or camera cards or shut the lid on your computer, as long as you don’t close ShotPut Pro you can go back and continue the copy process from exactly where it left off. One of the most useful features is that ShotPut Pro 6 can pause and resume the copy process if it is interrupted. There’s also a time remaining indicator, so you know exactly how long the file is going to take to copy.

Light blue for copying, dark blue for verifying, orange if you have cancelled the offload, and green for once it is completed. The bars are different colours depending on what the program is doing. This is very quick and easy to do and you can avoid the confusion of copying the same material to multiple different folder names on the same drive.Īnother nice feature is a new status bar shown when backing up and verifying your files. What I like about ShotPut Pro 6 is that you can now also just drag and drop between drives or individual folders without it automatically creating new output folders.
