Your workflow, not ours

Configured around the way your team already works.

The same finished app adapts through a portable team configuration. No one-off fork. No generic folder dump you have to reorganize later.

01 / BRIEF

Ask the right questions.

Shooter, location, subject, camera, job number, card, notes—or the exact fields your team needs.

02 / NAMING

Stop retyping the date.

Build clean names from automatic dates, project values, job numbers, camera, card, and sequence tokens.

03 / STRUCTURE

Create the whole job.

Put the job under the right parent, create every media/edit/export folder, and land footage exactly where it belongs.

04 / TEMPLATE

Start editorial correctly.

Optionally copy your real Premiere template under the derived project name. Without one, Ingest never fabricates a project.

One repeatable journey

From card to verified job in five moves.

The operator sees the exact result before anything is created. Every run ends with useful proof, not a vague “copy complete.”

Choose the card

Pick a camera card or any source folder.

Fill the brief

Answer the small set of team-configured fields.

Preview the job

Confirm the name, tree, media path, and destinations.

Copy and verify

Read every destination copy back and match its checksum.

Keep the proof

Receive an ASC MHL and plain-language ingest record.

Safety is not a preference

Built for footage you cannot reshoot.

The dangerous shortcuts are not settings. Vaultline Ingest cannot be configured to move a card, overwrite a different file, or call an unverified transfer complete.

Your workflow is the product.

The application gives us enough context to build the portable profile and a short, evidence-based workflow findings summary. We separate confirmed facts, open questions, and potential gaps.

Questions

What teams usually ask.

Is it actually free?

Yes. The app and one bounded team workflow configuration are free. You apply first; we configure and test it before sending it.

Does it upload footage or metadata?

No. The sandboxed app has no network entitlement or network client. It cannot send footage, briefs, telemetry, or update checks anywhere.

Does it make two copies at once?

Yes. Add multiple destinations and Ingest fans the source out in one read pass, then reads and verifies every destination independently.

Can it create our Premiere project?

It can copy a real Premiere template your team supplies and name it correctly. It deliberately never invents a blank .prproj.

What happens when a drive disconnects?

The incomplete staged copy never becomes the final media file. Reconnect, run again, and verified matching files are skipped without rewrite.

What Mac does it require?

macOS 13 Ventura or later. The signed and notarized download runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
