Desktop uploader
Watches a folder on your offload machine. Transcodes every incoming file to a 1080p proxy locally, then uploads only the proxy — so on-venue wifi doesn't have to move 50 GB/hr per camera. Your originals stay on your SD cards and LTO; when you open the highlight in Premiere, it prompts once to relink — point at the card folder and everything snaps back to 4K automatically.
macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later · Apple Silicon & Intel
Windows 10 version 1809 or later · x64
What it does
- Transcodes before it uploads. Uses bundled ffmpeg to build a 1080p H.264 proxy. Originals never leave your offload drive — 12× less data on the wire, 12× smaller cloud bill.
- Two transcodes, three uploads. Concurrency pools run CPU and network independently, so the laptop stays responsive and the wifi stays saturated.
- Resumable. 10 MB TUS chunks; if the venue wifi drops you pick up exactly where you left off.
- Duplicate-aware. SHA-256 fingerprint of the first 1 MB + size means re-ingesting the same card doesn't double-upload.
- Background + tray. Minimises to the menubar / system tray, auto-launch on login available.

The first public release is in testing right now — we're working through code-signing (Apple Developer ID for macOS, EV cert for Windows). If you're on the Turbo 360 crew and need a build to test today, ping hello@turbo360.com.au. For the meantime, the web library at highlights.turbo.net.au/projects accepts drag-drop uploads directly.
