Awesome tip Ty! I switched to a So y Camera with capture card because it took so long to transfer files via Air Drop. The other thing with Air Drop is that if you want to send a video file to your mac as soon as you are done recording, the phone goes into a “Preparing” mode and that takes sooo long 😢 i will try the second method you showed to see how that goes. Cheers ✌️
Thanks for the video, Ty. Much appreciated! I'm wondering if you'd be able to make a video on how best to STORE our footage? Right now, I use Google drive, but I'm not altogether sure it's the BEST option. If you've already created such a video, my apologies. Thanks again!
Hey Ted, I actually don't have a video on this already. I may have to make one at some point as a few people have asked about this as well. I've been storing everything locally on my Mac's hard drive. I know most folks might be running out of storage so an external hard drive might be in order. I haven't done much research yet on a good external drive but I know Alexa has an affiliate link in her descriptions you may want to explore for one.
I have a PC, but found this interesting. I currently use a USB to transfer things from my phone to computer. I ended up buying an extra USB and keep it handy.
Nice! Is there a native software that lets you move the video files pretty quickly? I hear from Mac users that AirDrop can be a pain so I thought I'd try to find an easier work-around.
I video on my iPhone, edit in iMovie on my iPhone then I have to send the edited video to photos, then I upload the video to RUclips from photos. It works; it’s all I know, but I have occasionally wanted to use a laptop to make edits in RUclips studio that I can’t do from my phone (like add cards and end cards). My question is this: once upon a time I airdropped a video to my laptop and I could not find a place to store it that RUclips would allow the upload from, namely the photos app. When I airdropped the video it didn’t get stored in photos and that’s the only place that I can get the RUclips app to pick up the videos from. Am I making any sense?
100%, if you're on your Mac and you have RUclips Studio up on your browser, you can click the Upload Video icon top right. Then you can simply drag the movie file in assuming that movie file has already been AirDropped to your computer (desktop or download folder for example).
This is very interesting, since I’m using a PC and the iphone 15 pro max and made av video about how *insanely slow* that process with usb cable is (proper cable, not the charging cable that comes with the phone) - Because even though I’m using a certified 10 gigabit per second cable transferring from the phone to my pc, and also testing with a relatively new mac laptop, we where getting only slightly faster than usb 2 type speeds. However if I transferred to an external ssd drive using the *same cable* I would get 10 gigabit per second speeds. Which iphone and what model mac are you using in this example? and are you using an official apple thunderbolt cable or a generic usb 3.2 cable? If you take a look at the video I made about this you can clearly see the slow speeds I’m getting connecting the phone directly to the pc vs going to an external ssd drive, making the phone to add and then add to pc route faster than copying directly from phone to pc, which is just plain crazy :/
Ahh that's interesting. In my video it go pretty fast although I did speed it up towards the end. BUT I did just test it again with a regular USB-C (took 5 mins to move about 11GB worth of data) and then again with my Thunderbolt 4 cable and it's also taking about 5 minutes. Soooo that's a head scratcher. The port on my laptop is Thunderbolt 4. I'm using an iPhone 15 and MacBook Pro 2023 M3 Max. I can't figure out why it was much faster when I recorded this earlier vs just now when I tested again... hmmm
@ Ooooooooh, that’s interesting!! The theory is that since the port on 15 and 16 is 10 gigabit, which is *approx* 1 gigabyte of data per second - using the proper cable and correct port on a pc/mac it should in theory take 10 seconds to transfer a 10 gigabyte file. When I use a Samsung T7 Portable SSD (which has a 10 gigabit per second port/speed) and connect that to my iphone transferring a 10 gigabyte file it takes around 15-16 seconds, which is close and correct to the maximum, while transferring directly to my pc laptop which has a 10 gigabit port as well and plenty fast ssd drive it takes several minutes. It’s all in the video I made, and it seems like Apple has problems with transferring to machines, but not to SSD drives for some reason.
Ok I just filmed another video just now. 2 files, totaling about 10GB worth of data. I did the Thunderbolt 4 transfer via Image Capture. It moved both files from the iPhone to the MacBook in about 30 seconds. It was way faster than even in the video. No idea why lol.

Have you been stuck with AirDrop timing out? Have you tried iPhone Mirroring yet? How are ya'll transferring large files? Let me know below!
Great video, thank you so much 😊 always a pleasure Ty!! I can’t wait until your channel blows up 🎉🥳🙌🏻💯👏🏽
Thank you for watching!
I’ll definitely be using your tips, Ty! Thank you!
No problem, hope it helps!
Option #2 for the win! Thanks :)
yay glad it worked!
Thank you for sharing this!
No problemo, thanks for checking it out.

I noticed that as well when AirDropping the old way, when I did the iPhone Mirroring way, I didn't see that occur, it just started straight away.
@ good to know. If all goes well maybe I will use my phone again to record as a second camera angle 🤩
@@tube-master I'm curious how it works out for you! Let me know :D
Thanks for the video, Ty. Much appreciated!
