When recording video how often do you change to a new memory card (SD, e.g.)

some cameras (like the sx70) will burn up your space very quick... for trips away I carry a few extras to swap in when needed

for most (just grab a camera in case you see a whale) day trips I carry a spare battery & card in my camera bag and the sx60 takes small vids so I've never needed more than a laptop at home to pull off want I want to keep later

cvid01  wrote 1. Do you use a new memory card for each new video? Can be expensive, and even new ones fail if they aren't tested first. Had it happen.

never had a card fail... I test them first i.e, in the shop before I buy them and format them every month

batteries do fail i.e, fail to hold a charge and that tends to boil down to you get what you paided for so avoid the cheap nock offs and try to drain them before charging every 5 mins

Dont know about the smaller DSLR shoots but on big shoots we carry 3-6 cards

When one is almost fully we eject, load in a new one, throw the used card at the DIT to copy on 2 redundant drives and verify and then format that card for use again

Never... I have a 256G card in my "big" camera and a 64G card in my "pocket" camera

When I finish recording I copy the files to my "input" drive (4 drives in my computer) and I also MOVE the files to one of several external drives

I use "bare" drives that I put in a dock http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-SuperSpeed-Docking-Station-Cooling/dp/B0055PL2YI as needed

Is this a Premiere Pro question?
