DJI Camera Card Workflow

Organize DJI Osmo Pocket 3 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_SD_CARD/
└── DCIM/
    └── 100MEDIA/
        ├── DJI_0001.MP4  # 4K D-Log M Video
        ├── DJI_0001.LRV  # Proxy video
        └── DJI_0002.JPG  # Photo
File naming scheme: DJI_{Index}.MP4 (e.g. DJI_0001.MP4, DJI_0002.MP4)

Why DJI SD cards create post-production chaos

  • ⚠️ Mixed horizontal & vertical reels: Pocket 3 rotating screen effortlessly shoots both 16:9 landscape and 9:16 portrait, mixing orientations in one folder.
  • ⚠️ Missing date metadata on quick transfers: Fast card swaps can cause clips to appear with mismatched created vs modified timestamps.
  • ⚠️ D-Log M color workflow: Requires quick sorting before batch color grading in post-production.
