DIT Media Calculator
Storage, cards, drives & LTO for any shoot, in minutes
DIT Media Calculator is a native app for Mac, iPad and iPhone that estimates media and storage for film & TV shoots — camera originals, proxies, dailies & editorial transcodes, cloud storage and upload times, memory cards, shuttle drives, on-set backup and LTO archive — and exports print-ready PDF reports. Available now on Mac, iPad and iPhone.
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).

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 🙏
