Working with big RED RAW files? \u00a0Check out this video on keeping your work safe by copying and backing up your files.<\/h2>\n

\"RedDigital production company and bloggers RogueCine.com<\/a> have released the first video in their training series on working with the RED Digital cameras<\/strong> and footage. \u00a0This video tutorial demonstrates two options for copying your RED footage<\/strong> onto another drive, either for editing or backing up.<\/p>\n

The first option is the standard copy\/paste from one drive to the next. \u00a0Simple and easy, but not always the most reliable. \u00a0 You’ll also see how to use a third party application to double check your backup byte for byte, so nothing gets lost in the moving of files. \u00a0The tutorial showcases this R3D Data Manager<\/strong> app (now called Double Data<\/a>) as a way to more securely move your files. \u00a0This app works with video files from either the RED Digital line of cameras or the Arri Alexa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For more information on the R3D Data Manager\/Double Data<\/strong>, you should also check out this extensive post<\/a> by filmmaking blog The Black and Blue<\/a> which offers the pros and cons of using this app in your workflow (hint: it’s HIGHLY recommended).<\/p>\n

What processes do you have in place to make sure your video footage is safely backed up and secure<\/strong>? \u00a0Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below!<\/p>\n
