One start for every card.

Bring in all the selected cards, check that the media arrived and let PhotoBot or VideoBot carry on when you choose them.

FIVE SIMPLE STEPS

Bring in the whole shoot. Keep the work moving.

Connect all your cards together, or bring them in across a few rounds. Smart Import looks through the selected cards and checks what reached your computer.

  1. 01

    Connect the cards

    Select one card or several from your shoot. You can bring the rest in later if you need to.

  2. 02

    Copy the whole shoot

    Smart Import finds photos, video, audio and related files across the selected cards and brings them to your computer.

  3. 03

    See what arrived

    Check what copied successfully and what needs attention before you put the cards away.

  4. 04

    Continue with PhotoBot

    Choose PhotoBot to prepare a Lightroom catalog and automatically adjust exposure and white balance.

  5. 05

    Continue with VideoBot

    Choose VideoBot to give your footage a first edit you can review and finish your way.

READY FOR YOUR EDIT

Open Lightroom. Make the final look yours.

Choose PhotoBot after Smart Import and it prepares a Lightroom catalog with automatic exposure and white balance adjustments. If selected, Standard and Smart Previews are ready too, so you spend less time waiting when you edit.
