CineSenseA little less offload.
A little more flow.
A little more flow.
Two footage drives in one pass Local copies read back & checked Camera bins & timelines in Resolve
A little less admin. A little more making.
Your workflow.
With the busywork taken out.
Recognise the card. Copy to your drives. Read it back.
Organise by shoot day. Hand the day to your edit.
Videos and photos move from a camera card to two local drives. The copies are read back, then marked checked. This result describes the copied files, not a whole-card format verdict.
Workflow illustration
01 / Automatic card offload
Plug it in.
Get your day back.
Your recognised cards, your chosen drives, your shoot-day folders. CineSense copies videos and photos to two destinations in one pass, then reads each local copy back to check the bytes.
- Remembered cards and destinations
- Filing by the day you shot
- Receipts that stay with your footage
Name the day’s first ingest to arm auto-ingest. Eligible registered cards then start after a countdown. When a card needs a decision, CineSense asks.
DaVinci Resolve Studio
02 / From the card to your timeline
Less setting up.
More finding the edit.
Send the shooting day into the Resolve Studio project you have open. Videos arrive in camera bins, with camera colours, day keywords, and the stringout or Stacked timeline you choose. Start with the edit, not the organising.
- Camera colours and day keywords
- Camera proxies linked when available
- Your files stay in your archive
Requires DaVinci Resolve Studio, an open project, and External scripting set to Local.
An organised shooting day becomes camera bins and a timeline in an open DaVinci Resolve Studio project.

03 / CineTransfer
Your files.
Where you need them.
A simple interface for a whole drive, a folder, or a hand-picked selection. CineTransfer uses CineSense’s copy-and-check engine to make the next local copy and verify what actually arrived.
- Copy without deleting the source
- Relay from a checked copy to the next drive
- Keep a record beside the footage
CineTransfer copies footage from one drive to another and reads the destination back before marking the local copy checked.

Example on fast SSDs; speed depends on your drives.
CloudSense sends an organised day to a connected cloud account in the background. A receipt distinguishes read back by the server from server-confirmed copies.

04 / CloudSense
Carry on.
The upload will too.
An automatic cloud archive for the days you want to keep. Connect your chosen service and let organised shoot folders upload in the background—client work, irreplaceable footage, or a second home for your archive. Follow the upload from the menu bar.
Hetzner Storage Box / SFTPDropbox
Google Drive™Backblaze B2 / S3
Google Drive™Backblaze B2 / S3Each file gets an honest proof label. A cloud copy never makes a card safe to format. Upload speed depends on your internet’s upload connection to the service, often much slower than a local drive speed test.
What does cloud proof mean?
Read back by the server: the server hashes its copy and the checksum is compared.
Server-confirmed: the service’s checksum confirms the copy. Large B2/S3 files can use “every part checked by the service”.
Handed over: sizes only, with that weaker proof stated clearly.
Storage Box, Dropbox, and Google Drive have been tested with real accounts. Backblaze B2 and S3 are built and have not yet been tested live.
Your optional off-site copy
Google Drive, on your terms.
From CineSense v2.134.1, CloudSense uses Google’s drive.file permission: CineSense can see and manage only the files it uploads itself—never anything else in your Drive. It uploads the shoot folders you choose plus a small copy receipt, and reads back each file’s MD5 checksum from Google to confirm it arrived intact.
Files go directly from your Mac to Google. Bryzr Studio never receives your files or Google tokens through this connection. Your sign-in permission stays in your Mac’s Keychain.
If you linked Drive with an earlier version, revoke CineSense’s old permission in your Google Account, then link Drive again using v2.134.1 or later. Updating the app alone does not narrow an existing permission.
The proof after the copy
A full progress bar
is only the beginning.
CineSense reads the local destination drive back and compares the bytes. Keep the check with the footage, long after the bar disappears.

An ASC MHL record travels with your footage.
The check comes first.A full progress bar alone is not the verdict.
Selected shoots get their own checks. A whole-card format verdict requires the rest of the card to be covered too.
Workflow visualization · Timing is illustrative
- 01
Copy the day.
Copy is the default. Your camera card stays intact.
- 02
Read it back.
Check what the destination holds, beyond the Mac’s cached copy.
- 03
Keep the receipt.
ASC MHL receipts and PDF reports go with the day. Transfer Logs stay on your Mac.
“Safe to format” means the whole card.
A checked job covers the files it copied. The whole-card verdict also considers the footage left behind. Before formatting, open the day folder, play some videos, inspect some photos, and check the file count.

01 / Bring the day home
The copy is only the beginning.
Choose what to take. CineSense copies your videos and photos, reads the destination drive back, and checks the bytes before calling the local copy verified.
- Latest shoot, Latest day, or Everything
- Two footage drives in one pass
- ASC MHL receipts and PDF reports
Copy is selected by default. Borrowed cards are always copied and never cleared.
Choose what comes off the cardLatest shoot · Latest day · Everything
A latest-shoot selection keeps a continuous session together while earlier shoots stay on the card. Choose Latest day or Everything when you need more.

The right shoot.
Kept together.
Take the latest session, the latest shooting day, or everything. A continuous night shoot stays together across midnight.
Latest shootLatest dayEverything
Earlier footage stays on the card. A checked shoot does not make uncopied footage safe to format.

Before your first card
A few
useful answers.
This is a beta. Keep your own backup habits, and send your feedback to the person making it.
beta@bryzrstudio.comWhich Macs can run CineSense?
The current beta is for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 13 or later. Download the zip from the public release page, drag CineSense into Applications, and open it. The app is signed by Bryzr Studio and notarised by Apple.
Does CineSense erase my camera card?
Copy is selected by default and leaves the card intact. Borrowed cards are always copied and never cleared. Move is an optional setting for your own cards. For this beta, keep Copy selected, open the day folder, play some videos, inspect some photos, and check the file count before formatting in your camera.
What does Safe to format mean?
It is a result for the whole card, checked against actual copies on mounted local drives. Taking only the latest shoot does not make older uncopied footage safe. Extra files and camera proxies can also need attention. A cloud copy never makes a card safe to format. You remain the final check before formatting.
Which cloud accounts can I connect?
CloudSense supports Storage Box/SFTP, Dropbox, Google Drive, Backblaze B2, and S3 accounts. Proof depends on the account: read back by the server, server-confirmed, or handed over with sizes only. Large B2/S3 uploads can be labelled every part checked by the service. Storage Box, Dropbox, and Google Drive have been tested with real accounts; Backblaze B2 and S3 are built and have not yet been tested live.
Can I use Google Drive during the beta?
CineSense’s Google sign-in is published and its branding is verified. From v2.134.1, new Drive connections request only drive.file. If you linked an earlier version, revoke the old permission in your Google Account and link again with v2.134.1 or later. Contact support@bryzrstudio.com if you need help. An own-client setup uses your own Google project’s access settings.
Does the Resolve handoff need Studio?
Yes. Use DaVinci Resolve Studio with a project open. In Preferences → System → General, set External scripting using to Local. CineSense links your existing videos into camera bins and can create stringouts and Stacked timelines; it does not move them into a new library.
Is CineSearch in this beta?
CineSearch is working in development with the optional CineVision engine. Its public release packaging is in progress, and it is not bundled with this public Mac beta. Visual, text, and optional speech indexing run on your Mac.
What leaves my Mac?
Local copies and their checks run on your Mac. CloudSense sends footage only to cloud accounts you connect. Update checks contact the public update service, and notification webhooks send messages only when configured. Copy Diagnostics shows what it will gather; you choose whether to email that folder. It does not contain footage, passwords, or keys.
How do updates and beta support work?
CineSense checks for updates daily and offers them in its menu. Installation waits while a card, transfer, upload, indexing run, or Resolve send is in progress. If something goes wrong, keep the footage and card as they are, use Copy Diagnostics, and email bugs@bryzrstudio.com with what happened, your camera/card, and your Mac and app versions. For other help, email support@bryzrstudio.com.
