P2 CARD-OFFLOAD LOG
Yenra | Revised October 11, 2026
Guide: https://yenra.com/p2/

Purpose: one record per card. Preserve the complete card structure, verify
copies and check expected footage before a card is released for reuse.
Save this log outside the retained card tree. Cross-reference related cards.
Use the exact camera/reader manuals and compatible software. Cancel any
unexpected initialize/format prompt while preserving existing recordings.

SOURCE AND ROUTE
Project / shoot / date:
Card ID and physical label:
Camera model / recording format / firmware if known:

Copy report path / read errors / unresolved issues:
Checksum algorithm and source-baseline manifest/report:
Destination A comparison result:
Independent destination B and comparison result:

CONTENT REVIEW
P2-aware viewer/editor and version:
Expected versus imported take count and duration:
Spanned takes: related cards and join timestamps checked:
First and last frames / picture motion / audio channels and sync:
Clip IDs, timecode and required metadata retained:

RELEASE AND DERIVATIVES
Working/editing copy location (outside retained source tree):
Derivative settings and source-card/clip mapping:
Backup locations and verification reports:
Release decision / responsible reviewer / date:
Unresolved issue requiring card retention:

A matching checksum establishes byte identity to the baseline. It does not
establish that the expected take is complete or the picture and sound are
correct. Confirm both file integrity and content. Release the card only after
the agreed checks and independent backups are complete; then use the camera's
documented card-management procedure.
