Blackmagic HyperDeck Disk Recorders Understanding Post Production Workflows

Accessing Your Clips

To access your clips, simply plug the SD card or SSD into your computer via an SD card slot, external reader, or SSD dock. You can either drag the files from the SSD or SD card directly to a local hard drive, or you can work directly from the SSD or SD card. You can also connect SSDs to your computer with a 2.5” eSATA to USB cable adapter, however this won’t be fast enough to handle working directly from the SSD and is really only recommended as a portable solution for getting your video files off the SSD and onto a laptop.
