A free alternative to ShotPut Pro
I am a DIT, and mmMover is the offload tool I build and use on set. If you use ShotPut Pro or are looking at it, here is an honest look at where mmMover fits.
What ShotPut Pro is great at
ShotPut Pro from Imagine Products is a widely used offload application, known for fast verified offloads and shareable PDF reports with thumbnails, a custom logo and metadata.
Where mmMover fits
mmMover is for DITs, camera assistants and small productions who want the same verified, MHL-documented offload without a licence fee, on Windows and Mac, plus proxies with camera LUTs, from a tool built by someone who uses it on set.
