Finder says the copy finished. VERA says it's verified. Every file gets read back off your drive and checked, so you know it made it before you wipe the card.
Read the heat. Wipe with confidence.

Live · each clip turns from cold to true color the moment it's checked safe
Copying your own footage to your own drives has quietly become a toll.
The other offload apps are priced for film sets and named for an industry most of us don't work in. VERA is footage safety built for everyone else, for $39.99 once.
Every clip lands cold, gets read back byte-for-byte off the drive, and only warms to color once it matches. Watch them turn one by one as the verified count climbs. And if one doesn't match, it stays cold so you catch it.
No fake spinner. Your true write speed and an honest time left, down to the second.
When every clip has matched on every drive, VERA tells you the one thing you actually want to hear before you wipe the card.
Drop the card, pick your drives, walk away. VERA does the copy, the checking, and the proof.
Drag a card or pick clips. VERA grabs the video, skips the folder mess.
Add as many drives as you want. One read off the card, copied to all at once. A real backup in a single pass.
Each clip turns cold to color as it passes. Then VERA tells you it's safe to wipe, never on a guess.
When it's safe, VERA folds your whole shoot into one clean summary you can hand off, written right to your drives. A bonus on top of knowing it made it.
The part you watch is the color turning. Underneath, the technical bits the pros look for.
On every real set, one person has a single mission: protect the footage. They copy each card, confirm every file made it, and only then does anyone wipe a thing. The first time I watched it happen, I thought, why isn't everyone doing this?
Because the apps that do it were built for studios, and they feel like it. Software that time forgot. So I built VERA: serious footage protection, priced like a tool instead of a toll, and actually made to feel good to use.
I run a video company. I use it on every shoot.

Your first three cards are free. The whole app, nothing held back. After that, own it once for $39.99, or go month to month. Your call.
A "card" is one offload, one shoot's footage, however big. A 32GB SD and a 2TB card both count as one. First three are free, no credit card.
Because copying your own footage to your own drives shouldn't cost a fortune, and it shouldn't climb higher once you add a separate dailies app. The other tools are priced for film sets. VERA is priced like a tool, not a toll, and you pay once.
VERA copies each clip, then reads the copy back off your drive and checks it byte-for-byte against the original. If anything's different, the clip doesn't pass. It stays cold. It's the difference between "the file showed up" and "the file is provably the same." That's the whole reason it's safe to format the card.
No. The first three cards are the full app, every feature, no watermark, no throttle. We're not going to limit a tool whose entire job is keeping your footage safe.
Yes. VERA backs up entire drives, not only camera cards. The free trial covers drops up to about 1 TB, which fits any normal card; whole-drive backups are part of the paid app.
No. Drop the card, pick your drives, walk away. VERA grabs your video, ignores the camera's folder mess, copies to every drive at once, and tells you when it's safe to wipe. No manual, no jargon, no setup ritual.
The one-time license runs forever, fully offline, built for shoots with no signal. Your footage and everything VERA makes stays on your drives. No cloud, no account, nothing to leak.
Any card your Mac can read. VERA pulls the video and skips the folder clutter, so Sony, Canon, SD, CFexpress, SSD readers, they all just work.
When everything's verified, VERA wraps the shoot into one clean summary you can hand off, written right to your drives, no cloud, nothing that expires.
Mac-first today. We'd rather do one platform exceptionally than two adequately.
Read the heat. Wipe with confidence.
