Re: How to record, download then delete files on SxS in a Mac

You can delete all the clips off your SxS card using Clip Browser. Then you could use the workflow you're suggesting.

1) Start shooting on Card-A
2) Card-A fills up and camera switches to Card-B
3) Remove Card-A and insert into MBP
4) Transfer all clips from Card-A to your hard drive using Clip Browser (with CRC turned on)
5) Delete all files from SxS card using Clip Browser
6) Put Card-A back into camera
7) When Card-B fills up camera automatically switches to Card-A
8) Repeat steps 3 thru 6 using Card-B

NOTE: Using the Clip Browser software, if you copy all your clips from both cards into the same folder on your hard drive, Clip Browser will join any clips that spanned 2 or more cards. You'll end up with one long clip instead of two (or more) clips. I used this technique to record nonstop for 7 hours. I had a helper transferring the clips to a hard drive so I could continue shooting. (it was a long day!)
