At its core, ShotPut Pro is a copy tool. You can not verify files or clips without making a copy. BUT have no fear, it’s a feature of TrueCheck!
TrueCheck is our file analysis application for Mac. It has five core features:
comparing files and folders for sameness and differences, creating
reports of volumes or attached media, doing deep
searches of attached media based on industry specific and user defined criteria and
verifying and/or

Hello I was wondering if y’all offer a intern discount? Im an intern at Painless TV Inc here in Santa Monica and Im trying to learn all the duties of a DIT/Media Manager
Please try the demo. You can download it from the various product pages.
Hey wondering if Shotput pro can be used offline? Install and updates being limited by online connection makes sense but I’ve got an upcoming remote shoot and we won’t have internet.
Hi John,
I apologize for the late response. Yes, ShotPut Pro can be used 100% offline. Just be sure to activate your license before losing service.
Best regards,
