I usually hate tutorials because they're overly complicated but you literally saved me so much time and stress, as someone whos new to this camera and video stuff this helped me so much. Liked, comment and subscribed, keep up the work!

[mogulmigo]

you’re a life saver my guy. all other videos on youtube were outdated or just didnt work for the problem i was having finding my video files.

[GumGuerreiro]

Thank you so much! A suggestion: maybe you could make a video about what you usually do when you transfer the content from the camera to the MacBook. I know it's very subjective, but it would be nice knowing how do you choose the photos you will delete and how do you organize the remaining photos.

Thanks for this video it was extremely helpul. I'm new to mac, I have a m1 mac mini and 2202 11' ipad pro (pc/galaxy user) and could not find my videos from my ZV-E10 and it was driving me crazy. You are straight to the point and easy to follow. Please continue to make great content like this.

Thank you for being direct and getting straight to the point. Followed along and got exactly what I needed. Thanks a ton! Is there a particular brand/drive size you recommend for 4K video storage?

I've been using the FTP function to send files to my NAS. Took a little bit of first-time setup, but now, as soon as I walk into wifi range (or even in the field) I can just hit a few buttons and send them over without even going over to the computer.

This may help others:
If I plug my SD card into my Mac and import via LR it can take up to 2 or more hours to import thousands of photos (I'm a wedding photographer but I also have photos from a second shooter to import as well).
If I copy from SD cards to a drive (which takes 10 minutes or so to copy)... then open LR and import from the 'drive', it takes another 10 minutes or so. For me, letting LR import the photos from the SD cards is incredibly slow when you have an extreme amount of photos.

THANK YOU. I had so much trouble finding the videos.

What cable would you use for a Sony ZV- E10?

[desuadewebi]

Thank you Jason, your videos are so straight forward

[ndcendee]

Cool. Vid. Sony has the most insane file structure on these cards I'm like wtf. Helpful tips thx!

[chamacarol]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This video was extremely helpful since I recently bought my first Sony camera, the A7CII. Love your videos, keep up the great work, Jason!! 💯💯💯

Thank you thank you! I just got a Sony a6400 and I had trouble trying to find my videos. Thank you again!!!❤

Do you know if it's possible to import photos and vids via Wifi to Windows 11 PC from A7IV?

[cpinger]

At time 4:48 you say, “You can auto import if you’re using Lightroom or iPhoto for example”. Did you notice all RAW files in your video don’t display a thumbnail in Finder? How do solve for using (displaying) RAW files from A7-IV on MacOS? And how do you get A7-IV RAW files to work in iPhoto?

Hey, thanks for the vid Jason!... I'm using a sony A7II and I'm transferring it to a MacBook M3 pro laptop (2023) running Sonoma 14.5. Was wondering which conversion software you'd recommend to take MTS to MOV. I'm using Editready now I think. It has a one minute limit *on the free version.

[Enchanted_jewels]

Thank you so much!! I’m new to using the Sony ZV-1 and your videos have been a great education on how to navigate everything! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[noahmari]
