Principles
Built for how pros treat footage
Footage Manager operates on three principles.
All analysis, on your Mac
Library analysis runs entirely on-device. Your footage is never uploaded to a server.
Native to FCP's structure
It reads library bundles, external media, and caches exactly as Final Cut Pro organizes them.
Impact first, then execute
Before media moves, you see every affected library. Nothing runs until you confirm.
Start free. Keep your media organized.
