DJI Camera Card Workflow
Organize DJI Mini 4 Pro & Air 3 Drones 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:
DRONE_SD/
└── DCIM/
└── 100MEDIA/
├── DJI_0301.MP4 # 4K 60p Flight Take
├── DJI_0301.SRT # Subtitle file with flight telemetry (GPS/Altitude)
└── DJI_0302.DNG # 48MP Aerial RAW StillWhy DJI SD cards create post-production chaos
- Separated SRT flight telemetry sidecars: Every flight take has an accompanying .SRT file containing altitude, coordinates, and shutter speed.
- True vertical aerial takes mixed with 16:9 landscape cinema shots.
- Multiple drone battery flights creating fragmented bursts of footage throughout a shoot day.
