Stop juggling six tools between the shoot and the edit. RushDeck handles ingest, media management, and archive in a single pipeline. $199, once.
The Problem
Hedge for copying, Finder for browsing, Kyno for metadata, a script for folder structures, Canister for LTO. Every project, the same patchwork. Time you should spend cutting.
12 cards, 3 cameras. What's sharp? What's an interview, what's B-roll? You won't know until you scrub through everything in the NLE. That's hours before the actual edit even starts.
LTO tapes without catalogs. Projects from 2019 somewhere on a shelf. The average editor loses $2,400 per project to mismanaged files. Finding that one shot means mounting tapes and hoping.
The Pipeline
RushDeck automates the work around the creative cut — from the moment you pull the card to the moment you shelve the tape. Your edit stays yours.
Create your project, get your folder structure — instantly. Configurable templates with presets you define once and reuse on every project. Like PostHaste, but integrated into the pipeline. No more "Friday is folder-structure day."
Every file copied and verified. Byte for byte. Speed-optimized with cascading to multiple drives — when the fastest is done, pull your card. Auto-routing by camera or codec. Resume after crash. You know your footage arrived. Not hope — know.
Transcription and translation in 30+ languages, running on-device at 15x realtime. Clips get tagged by content — interviews, B-roll, locations, people — so you can find anything without scrubbing. Export tagged selects straight to Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or FCP. Your rough cut still yours — you just start with everything sorted.
Send drafts to clients, pull feedback into your catalog. Local playback for internal checks. Approve/reject workflow that stays linked to the source clips.
Archive to external disks or LTO tape. A portable catalog travels with every tape — hand it to another editor, they get the full index. Search your entire archive without mounting a single reel. Find that sunset drone shot from 2019 in seconds, not hours. Import existing tapes from Canister or other tools.
What Makes It Different
Transcribe every interview, every voiceover, every run-and-gun clip — on-device, at 15x realtime. Translate captions into 30+ languages in the same pass. Burn them in, export SRT, or send them straight to your NLE. No cloud, no upload, no per-minute fees.
Clips get sorted and tagged by content — interviews, B-roll, topics, people, locations — so your bin isn't a mystery. Repeated takes get grouped together. You still make the creative call; RushDeck just hands you an organized pile instead of 400 unnamed files. Export tagged selects to Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or FCP.
Type "sunset drone shot over river" and find the clip — even across tapes you archived two years ago. No manual tagging required.
A portable database travels with every LTO tape. Hand a tape to another editor, and they get the full catalog — no external database needed.

The core pipeline works on-device. If you want higher-accuracy transcription, more nuanced semantic search across large archives, and faster batch processing on long projects, plug in a language model. Two ways to do it:
Who's Behind This
RushDeck comes from Flavored Media — 13 years of video production, thousands of projects delivered, too many hours lost to file management. We're building the tool we always wanted. Not a startup chasing a trend, but a production company solving its own problems and sharing the result.
