Your first offload

Card in, footage safe, evidence written. Five minutes end to end.

1. Create a projectFile → New Project. Pick where the project package lives — Olycen suggests your largest external disk, and warns if you put it on the boot drive. The project owns your destinations, day structure and reports.
2. Add destinationsIn the right column, add at least two. Two folders on the same physical disk are one copy, not two, and Olycen says so rather than letting you believe otherwise.
3. Insert the cardIt appears on the left with its camera type, size and reel name. If the reader is slow (USB 2.0), you are told before you start, not after four hours.
4. OffloadPress Offload. Every byte is read once, written to every destination, then read back from each destination and compared. The bar shows copied and verified separately — they are not the same claim.
5. Read the evidenceWhen it finishes, the panel shows checksums, destinations, and whether the card is safe to erase. Format only when Olycen says the evidence is complete.
