Import your footage

Connect your drone and action camera SD cards, phone, and external disks. Add folders and videos from different sources to the same selection; copy them all safely to your Mac or external SSD in one task. Merceq does more than copy files: after the transfer, it checks the copies and creates a verification record, so your valuable footage isn’t left to chance. If a task is interrupted, you can pick up where you left off. You don’t have to copy your files, either; add them directly to your library from where they are and start culling. You can also watch folders you use regularly to spot new footage easily.

Your footage may be on your phone, a camera card, or a disk. Add it to Merceq to see everything in one library and start culling.

You can import videos you shot with your camera, action camera, or drone from an SD card or the disk they’re on. You can also add videos from folders on your Mac or external HDDs and SSDs. Videos you select from your phone are copied to a disk first, then added to the library.
