DJI Camera Card Workflow
Organize DJI Osmo Action 4 & Action 5 Pro Footage
Tame chaotic SD card dumps, prevent duplicate filename overwrites, and sort raw DJI clips into clean date-based folders directly on your machine.
100% Private — Scans directly from your camera card via File System Access API.
Default DJI SD Card Structure
Where DJI puts your raw files vs proxies and metadata:
DJI_ACTION_SD/
└── DCIM/
└── 100MEDIA/
├── DJI_0120.MP4 # 4K 120fps RockSteady Video
├── DJI_0120.LRV # Low-res preview file
└── DJI_0121.DNG # RAW Action StillsWhy DJI SD cards create post-production chaos
- High bitrate 4K/120fps files generate massive data loads that freeze standard web upload tools.
- Mixed RockSteady and HorizonSteady takes need grouping before timeline assembly.
- Redundant .LRV proxy files consume up to 15% of SD card storage.
