  1. OffShoot Solo

    The perfect companion for those that travel light. Offload camera cards to internal storage, external drives, or both — at the same time.

    Only for
    App Store
  2. OffShoot

    The app formerly known as Hedge. The reliable workhorse of video professionals who value comprehensive and guaranteed backups, whether for clients or themselves.

    Available for
  3. OffShoot

The killer argument for OffShoot is its blazing speed, that's for sure.

Highlights

OffShoot's core, and what we're famous for.

Superfast transfers

Files are getting bigger, cards and reader faster, so you don't want any bottlenecks in your workflow. With last year's OffShoot release, our industry-leading copy engines got even faster.

The fastest, by a landslideDiscover more features

Verification, everywhere

Everything OffShoot does is verified, by design. Whether you're doing a simple copy, need source verification, destination verification, legacy checksums: our checksum technology has your back.

Cascading

Copy to your fastest drives first, then to the slower ones, to free up your sources earlier on. Set up a single cascading destination, or more than one, with a Pro license. Create your ideal workflow with cascading groups and string together as many drives as needed.

OffShoot’s features

Still using Finder or Explorer to copy your media? You're in for a treat.

All featuresPro features

S3 Transfers

Transfer just as easily to affordable and fast cloud storage as you do to a travel drive, with all the security and safety you're used to getting from a local disk.

APIs and scripting

Supercharge your workflow by automating OffShoot through our extensive API and kick off post-processing with the built-in scripting engine.

Stop & Resume

Need to stop an offload and start it up again later? OffShoot will know exactly where it was stopped and where to pick it up from without needing to redo any settings, locations or parameters.

Presets, on steroids

Elements prompt you to add useful metadata to the media files you're transferring, so that they're properly labelled. That saves time for everyone else and makes for a smoother workflow.

Advanced Presets

Create and distribute presets using the online Preset Builder, add subpresets, and load sets of presets using the OffShoot Helper companion app.

Keep track of everything

Copying is one thing, knowing what went where is next. Keep complete track of what goes where, when and how, with our Transfer Logs. Additionally, Media Hash Lists allow you to automatically re-verify backups at a later time.

Right-click, Copy, Paste

Your beloved copy/paste just got leveled up. Right-click any file or folder in Finder or Explorer, and you have direct access to OffShoot's copy engine... and more!

Finder & Explorer integrations

Duplicate Detection

OffShoot's built-in Duplicate Detection ensures you can pick up any transfer where it left off, without ever running into files with identical filenames.

Save time, copy just what’s new.

Codex & Alexa 35

Offload any Codex mag containing ARRIRAW, including the new ALEXA 35 HDE MXFs, with a copy engine built specifically for Codex - complete with duplicate detection.

Filter, Rename, Organize

Still manually creating folder structures? With OffShoot, organization of your files goes a bit further: ignore files, rename everything, and re-sort your files into new folders - or none at all.

Connect 3.0

Our beloved push notification service got another big update, and now comes with an online dashboard. Never wait for a transfer to finish, we'll let you know when it's done!

Connect Pro

With a Pro license, the Connect online transfer overview and push notification gets superpowers; automatically enroll all computers that are registered to your license, and see which computer is doing what at a glance.

Simultaneous backups

Create as many copies as you need, at the same time. OffShoot transfers multiple sources to all destinations, fully utilizing your bandwidth.

OffShoot Helper

OffShoot Helper is a compact menu bar application designed exclusively for macOS. With just a single click, you can set up and launch predefined presets, streamlining your workflow significantly.

Move, Batch Add, and more...

Move files instead of copying, batch review multiple Sources, and a brand-new option to treat a Collection as Independent Sources.

Ingest Browser

Got a drive that contains a bunch of media from different days or even productions? Drill down drives and cherry-pick just the folders you need, and add them as individual transfers.

OffShoot 24.4 - Ingest

Integrated with iconik

Create sidecars for iconik's ISG application, enriched with the metadata entered through using presets in OffShoot. Combined with EditReady Server, it's ingest at its best.

ASC MHL Verification

ASC-MHLs, as required by Netflix, enhance media verification, provide robust checksum tracking, automatic file integrity checks, and comprehensive metadata management for professional scripted and unscripted workflows.

Labels

OffShoot lets you apply labels to sources, which you can use to build and extend your workflow. Stay organized during your shoot.

Date & Time

Want to offload yesterday's material and not use today's timestamps? OffShoot allows you to control such metadata without having to reset your computer's time and date.

Let’s Integrate

Use powerful integrations to automatically start EditReady transcoding, create FoolCat reports or push your footage to Frame.io.

Integrations Galore

Automatically kickstart Parashoot disk erasure, give your Prograde media a Health Check, or add transferred clips to a target Scratch project.
