What do you like best about ShotPut Pro?

The best thing about ShotPut Pro is it is as simple or complex as you want it to be. I use it as a digital loader in the film industry for offloading camera footage, and I rely on this tool nearly everyday to ensure millions of dollars of shot footage is backed up properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShotPut Pro?

I haven’t found anything that I don’t like about ShotPut Pro as of yet. I’ve been using this program for years in its various versions along with other like-minded software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ShotPut Pro:

Compare with other software to see what suits your needs best as a digital loader. I find that shotput fulfils my requirements, but I have used other programs in the past with varying amounts of success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ShotPut Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

I no longer (nor should you) rely on the finder file transfer to transfer large amounts of data. ShotPut Pro does this, along with checksums to ensure no bytes are missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ShotPut Pro?

I've enjoyed using ShotPut Pro to transfer my daily video deposition clips to my portable hard drive. As I can create different processes to transfer my videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShotPut Pro?

I cannot stand the initial source interface window. The source window does not allow users to sort/select their source videos by date, size, or any other attribute. I have submitted a mock-up screen of what I believe would be better than what they have. Similar to the Finder window view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ShotPut Pro:

Give the source media window the ability to sort the selections by file type, size, date, etc. As an HUGE bonus feature, give users the ability to upload ONLY NEW video. (Do a file comparison of source media with the target destination; if the filename, size, type are equal, grey-out the selections.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ShotPut Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Speeding up the ingestion of lots of video clips to my target and backup drives simultaneously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
