| 4 | +🛡️ Media Matcher Pro: The Workflow Safety Net |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +Media Matcher Pro is a lightweight Windows utility designed for photographers, videographers, and action-cam enthusiasts. It acts as a final audit tool to ensure your raw media has been successfully accounted for in your archives before you format your memory cards. |
| 7 | +🔍 Why use this? |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +We've all been there: you start a massive export or file transfer, and it gets interrupted. Or, you’ve been editing for hours and can’t remember if you actually moved every clip from your tablet/SD card to your permanent storage. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +This tool solves "Backup Anxiety" by identifying exactly which files on your source drive do not have a corresponding version in your archive. |
| 12 | +✨ Key Features |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | + Safety First: Only suggests deleting files once they are confirmed to exist (with actual data) in your destination. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | + Smart Filename Matching: Matches files based on name, not extension. If DSC001.ARW exists as DSC001.jpg or DSC001.tif in your archive, it's marked as Matched. |
| 17 | +wwwww |
| 18 | + Corruption Check: Automatically ignores 0-byte (corrupted/empty) files in your archive to ensure your backups are valid. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | + Universal Format Support: Built-in filters for: |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | + Pro RAW: Sony (.ARW), Canon (.CR3), Nikon (.NEF), Fujifilm (.RAF), OM System (.ORF), Panasonic (.RW2). |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | + Action/Drone: Insta360 (.INSP, .INSV, .360), GoPro RAW (.GPR), Adobe (.DNG). |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | + Pro Video: .MP4, .MOV, .MXF, .MKV, .AVI. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | + Dual-Archive Search: Scan two different backup drives (e.g., your NAS and your portable SSD) at the same time. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +🚀 How to Use |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | + Select Source: Point the tool to your SD Card or "Import" folder. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | + Select Archive: Point the tool to your main storage/project folders. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + Filter: Check the boxes for the specific formats you want to verify on your source. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | + Run Scan: * GREEN (Confirmed): These files are safe. They exist in your archive. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + ORANGE (Unaccounted): These files are NOT in your archive. Export or move these before formatting your card! |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | + Save Log: Export a text report of the "Unaccounted" files for manual processing. |
| 43 | + |
