G’day it's Doug from Doug Hewson YouTube here.
Today's question comes from a viewer, on another channel
I pulled this question from the comment section on one
and only Justin Brown for Primal Video’s channel and
on their most recent video a gentleman called Long John
Silver left this question. “I have a couple of drones with
micro SD cards. How can I get that footage onto my iPad.”
Well it's a great question and I have the answer for you
and you need one of these little dongles that's coming right up!
Welcome to the Doug Hewson YouTube channel.
This is a channel where we talk about tech for content creation
and today we're talking about this little item here which is a
lightning to SD card reader. Now it’s really handy
for getting footage and photos from an SD card onto your iPad
or even on your iPhone so that you can edit it. Do you want
with it on the phone. So let’s get over to the tutorial
and have a quick look at that and we'll come right back.
Okay we are we're going to demonstrate the lightning to
SD card reader with iOS.
So what we're going to do is first of all we need to have
some footage that’s on a SD card. So I’ve got a SD card here
that's come out of that Nikon A10, Coolpix A10, with just
some, a couple of scenes that I just filmed randomly.
Now if you have a camera like a GoPro with a micro SD,
so you just need one of these adapters that you can plug in.
First of all what I’m going to do is stick the SD card into
the reader. The little SD card logo there, gonna plug that in
until it clicks into place. Okay so can take my iPhone
or iPad I can do this on an iPad as well. All I have to do is
just plug it in.
We'll give it a second and it should come up. If it doesn't
take you straight to the card, just go across to the right hand
side and click on Import and this will show
you then the pictures or footage that's on the card.
Now the sample footage I've got, I’ve got two video clips here
and here so I’m just gonna mark them in and click Import.
I can Import All, Import Selected so we’re
gonna click selected and it’s gonna process.
Depending on how much footage you have it's going to take
a little while to upload that footage. You can see the first
ones got a green tick and import complete.
Now is asking me, giving me the option whether I want
to delete them from the SD card or keep them. In this case I’m
going to delete them and then all we have to do is
just tap on out and remove the card. Now once it’s in there,
you can use whatever software that you have, say its iMovie or
something to edit. Okay so once footage is on there, you can see
clearly the bits in the camera roll.
Now if you wanted to bring them into iMovie you start a new
project and bring them all in, bring them all in. New movie,
one and that one and Create Movie there we go, got them.
Assembled on the timeline here.
Ready to go. Simple and you can edit away. And of course
if you're interested in a tutorial on how to edit in
i Movie on iOS of course,
drop a comment, ah, comment in the comments
section below and will look at that for future video.
So yeah super simple to get your footage from your SD card on
your device. I hope that segment was handy for you, if you want
to purchase one of these things and you could pick them up
from Apple and you can pick up from Amazon you can pick it up
from most retail stores. It is a standard Apple product so
you'll find just about anywhere. If you got questions about doing
