SLIK

A Field Media Handler for Video Production.

Cross Platform: Windows, MacOs, Linux

NOTE: Currently only Windows binaries available.

SLIK is an free and open source app that copies and verifies audio and video from all kinds of equipment( Broadcast Camera's, GoPro, Drones, Audio recorders, ...) to your backup disks.

Features:

• Slik only backs up/copies files. No files are ever deleted.
• No more duplicates. Slik scans the backup drive to see if a source clip has already been backup up.
• Backs up new source media into daily folders.
• Automatically detects different source media types ( camera brand & type, Audio device, ... ). Each one is backup up into separate subfolder: Amira clips into /20260530/Amira/, Sony Z750 into /20260530/Z750/ and so one
• Choose between backup all files ( including junk created by camera like .inf files) and keeping the folder structure of the memory card, or, only backup the actual media files, and drop the useless folder structure. This can be defined per media type.
• Create your own 'Recipes' for your own equipment.
• Smart Bytelevel Verify of source and destination files: As a full byte for byte verify is extremly slow for large media files, Slik verifies headers, footers and selected parts of each file to make sure that files with similar names, creation dates and sizes are actually copies or new files.
• Sync 2 ( or more) backup destinations. You can backup to your local drive first, and later sync that one to an extra external drive.

SLIK is fully free and open source:

• Licensed under MIT license
• Open source code available in the Git repo
• No Ads, no subscriptions, no costs.
• No network connection needed.
• No tracking. Slik and Eleventy.org do not track any statistics or personal information of any kind.
