Working with Files from SD Cards
You can access your ProRes or CinemaDNG files straight from your SD card with any Mac OS X
or Windows computer that features an SD card slot or by using an SD card reader.
1 Remove the SD card from your Blackmagic compact camera and insert it into the SD
card slot of your computer, or SD card reader. The SD card can be accessed the same
way as you would an external hard drive, USB drive or any other media storage device
attached to your computer.
2 Double click on the SD card to open it and you should see a list of QuickTime movie
files or folders which contain your CinemaDNG RAW image files. Depending on the
format you chose to record in, you might have a mixture of files and folders, but they
will all use the same naming convention.
3 Now you can simply drag the files you want from the SD card onto your desktop or
another hard drive, or you can access the files straight from the SD card using your
NLE software.
4 Before you physically remove the SD card from the SD card slot, it’s always a good idea
to eject the SD card safely using either Mac OS X or Windows first.
