Cullibrate gives you two ways to bring a shoot in. Both are non-destructive — originals are never overwritten or moved without your explicit choice.
Copy from card
Use this when your files are still on the SD/CFexpress card. Cullibrate copies them to a location you pick, verifies the copy, and then works from that copy.
- Insert your card. Click Copy from Card.
- Choose the source (the card) and the destination folder.
- Optionally add a subfolder pattern like {date}/{shoot-name}.
- Click Copy. You can start culling as soon as the first frames land — the rest continues in the background.
Open in place
Use this when the files are already on disk and you don't want another copy. Cullibrate reads directly from the folder without moving anything.
