Working with Files from CFast 2.0 Cards

To import your clips from a CFast 2.0 card:
Step 1. Remove the CFast card from your Blackmagic URSA or URSA Mini.
Step 2. Mount the CFast card to your Mac OS X or Windows computer using a CFast 2.0 reader/
writer or CFast drive.
Step 3. Double click on the CFast card to open it and you should see folders that contain your
CinemaDNG RAW image files or a list of QuickTime movie files. Depending on the format
you chose to record in, you might have a mixture of files, but they will all use the same
naming convention.
Step 4. Now you can simply drag the files you want from the CFast card onto your desktop or
another hard drive, or you can access the files straight from the CFast card using your
editing software. CinemaDNG RAW files are saved to the CFast card as separate DNG
images for each frame. This is an open format and you can use many software applications
to view your RAW 4K images as a video sequence.
Step 5. Before you unplug the CFast card from your computer, it's always a good idea to eject
safely using either Mac OS X or Windows first.
With dual card mode recordings, simply transfer your CinemaDNG clip folders from both cards to
the same folder on your storage drive. Make sure the clips from both cards are contained in the
same folder.
