Here are four simple ways to keep track of your memory cards.<\/h2>\n<p>When working on a rushed shoot, it can become difficult to keep track of your footage. You need to know which cards have already been used and which<strong> memory cards<\/strong> need to be dumped\/backed up. Keep track of your<strong> memory cards<\/strong> with these four easy tips.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you need to do before arriving on\u00a0set is to make sure all cards\u00a0are formatted and ready to go. Make sure you format them for the right camera as well. For example, on smaller sets with DSLRs, SD cards and CF cards should be formatted for the camera. If you are using a mix of cameras, make sure you format the card again before shooting.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"lock-the-card\">Lock the Card<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-64493 size-full\" title=\"4 Simple Tricks to Keep Track of Memory Cards on Set: SD Lock\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SD-Lock.jpg\" alt=\"4 Simple Tricks to Keep Track of Memory Cards on Set: SD Lock\" width=\"755\" height=\"181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SD-Lock.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SD-Lock.jpg?resize=300,72 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SD-Lock.jpg?resize=277,66 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SD-Lock.jpg?resize=359,86 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SD-Lock.jpg?resize=543,130 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SD-Lock.jpg?resize=560,134 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SD-Lock.jpg?resize=150,36 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If this is an available option (usually on SD cards), you can easily <strong>lock the memory card after shooting<\/strong>.

Before arriving on set, <strong>put all of your cards face-up in a case<\/strong>. After shooting, simply <strong>put the card back in the case, this time face-down<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This gives an instant look at your available memory. Not only do you know which cards you have used with a quick glance at the cards that are still face-up, you will know exactly how\u00a0many gigs you have left.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"put-gaff-tape-the-card\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Put Gaff Tape the Card<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-64499 size-full\" title=\"4 Simple Tricks to Keep Track of Memory Cards on Set: CF Card Gaff Tape\" src=\"https:\/\/pbblogassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2015\/10\/CF-Card-Gaff-Tape.jpg\" alt=\"4 Simple Tricks to Keep Track of Memory Cards on Set: CF Card Gaff Tape\" width=\"755\" height=\"252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/CF-Card-Gaff-Tape.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/CF-Card-Gaff-Tape.jpg?resize=300,100 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/CF-Card-Gaff-Tape.jpg?resize=277,92 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/CF-Card-Gaff-Tape.jpg?resize=359,120 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/CF-Card-Gaff-Tape.jpg?resize=543,181 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/CF-Card-Gaff-Tape.jpg?resize=560,187 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/CF-Card-Gaff-Tape.jpg?resize=150,50 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><br \/>\nFor larger <strong>memory cards<\/strong> that don&#8217;t have locks on them, simply put a piece of <strong>gaff tape over the connection points<\/strong> after you have used it.<\/p>\n<p>Gaff tape is preferred because it <strong>won&#8217;t leave any residue on the card<\/strong>. It will easily come off, and the cards info sticker won&#8217;t be damaged.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>All four of these simple tricks are incredibly easy to do and will save you so many headaches. Be sure you implement some sort of management system and make sure everyone handling the cards knows the protocol.<\/p>\n<p>Also, be sure to use checksum verifcation when dumping your cards. Always make sure everything was copied properly. Don&#8217;t just drag and drop your footage.
