How to send footage

1. Open the upload link you were sent. The top right shows your team.
2. Type your name. Add the camera or card if you like, for example FX6 A, card 3.
3. Drag a whole card or folder onto the page, or use Choose folder. Folders keep their structure.
4. Wait until every file says Received and verified. Then the page says all files are in and you can close it.

Each file is checked piece by piece on arrival and again as a whole, so "Received and verified" means our copy is identical to yours. Nobody with your link can see or download anything.

Do nothing. The page waits and carries on by itself when the network is back. Keep the page open.

Open the same link again and drop the same card or folder. The page says what did not finish, and it continues where it stopped. Files already received are skipped.

If you prefer your own tools, send straight to our storage over S3 with the key we sent you.

• Endpoint https://upload.perp.so, path style, region us-east-1.
• Bucket: drop-avtest for the test. For the event: drop-av (AV crew), drop-photo (photo team), drop-desk (Frontier desk cameras).
• Put each card in its own folder: <bucket>/<your name>/<camera and card>/, and keep the slash at the end.
• The key can only write. You will not see a file list and cannot download or delete, so the bucket always looks empty. That is normal.

One time setup:

rclone config create frontier s3 provider=Other \
  endpoint=https://upload.perp.so region=us-east-1 \
  force_path_style=true \
  access_key_id=YOUR_KEY secret_access_key=YOUR_SECRET

Then one command per card (here for the test bucket):

rclone copy /Volumes/CARD03 frontier:drop-avtest/sam/FX6-A-card03/ \
  --s3-no-head --s3-no-check-bucket --no-check-dest \
  --multi-thread-streams 0 --s3-chunk-size 64M \
  --s3-upload-concurrency 8 --transfers 16 --progress

If a transfer stops, run the same command again; a file that arrives twice is stored once. rclone starts a stopped file from the beginning, so on a shaky connection the upload page is the better choice. Other S3 tools work if they can upload without listing the bucket first.

1. Open upload.perp.so/slate on a phone or laptop and press Start sound and full screen. You can type the camera name on it.
2. Film it for 5 seconds at the start of every card, with sound.
3. Photographers: take one photo of it with each camera body.

The slate shows the exact time, flashes and beeps every second. It lets us line up every camera to the same clock.

• Send camera originals, not exports or edits.
• Set camera clocks to UK time. If you can, set timecode to time of day.
• Film the slate at the start of every card.
• Card handover straight after 01:00: copy each card whole, and keep one SSD copy until we confirm everything is received.

• The upload speed you saw on the page and with rclone, and where you were connected from.
• Any error or anything that looked wrong, with a screenshot if you can.
• Your camera and recorder list for the night: model, codec, frame rate, timecode setup.
• Who will upload on the night.
