Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Jiří, from RedPixl. I work in film & TV, and for years my "data plan" for a shoot was the thing every DIT quietly runs on: a fragile spreadsheet, half-remembered codec data rates, and a hope that I'd ordered enough cards and drives. When that guess is wrong it's expensive and public — you run short of media on a night shoot, over-order and blow the budget, or a producer asks "so how much storage do we need?" and you're doing mental maths in front of the room. DIT Media Calculator turns a camera package into the numbers you actually need — in minutes, with specs you can defend. Set up the shoot: 🎥 Up to 26 cameras (A–Z), each with its own codec, resolution, frame rate, colour profile and card — from real manufacturer specs for ARRI, RED, Sony, Blackmagic, Canon, Panasonic and more (add your own for anything exotic). 🎙️ Production sound modelled alongside picture. 🗓️ Shoot days, proxy/dailies formats, backup and archive plan. And it does the maths: 💾 Storage per day and per project — split into originals, proxies and audio. 💳 Cards on hand per day, with a three-cards-per-camera safety floor so you never plan yourself short. ⏱️ Offload, transcode, LTO write and upload time estimates. 📦 Shuttle drives, on-set backup sets, LTO tapes and cloud dailies — all sized for you. 📄 A print-ready PDF report (Standard or full Technical — your logo, contacts, sensor-coverage graphics) to hand production when they ask. A few things I care about: • Honest numbers — real recording limits and data rates, not round guesses. • Your data stays yours — native Mac, iPad and iPhone app. No account, no cloud lock-in, no subscription required. Each project is a single .ditproj file you can drop in a job folder, Dropbox or your NAS. • In your pocket — it's on iPhone too, so you can price a job on the recce or reorder LTO from the truck. One purchase covers all three (Universal). 👉 https://apps.apple.com/app/dit-m... I'd genuinely love your take: • If you're on set — what's the media mistake that's bitten you (ran short of cards, wrong drive count, under-ordered LTO)? • Which camera or codec should I make sure is dialled in next? Happy to get into how the data rates are sourced, how the safety margins work, or where it's headed. Thanks for taking a look 🙏
