01
Link Status
Read whether each symbolic link is normal, broken, on an unmounted volume, or ready for repair before taking action.
Final Cut Pro libraries · macOS
See what's filling your library. Clean up generated files for free.
Check library size, media links, and file usage in one place. Select render, analysis, optimized, or proxy files to clean up at no cost.
Clean up generated files without signing in or subscribing.
Three tabs separate state inspection, usage tracking, and actual movement
01
Library Analysis
Review library size, events, projects, and original and external media at a glance. Clean up render files, analysis files, optimized media, and proxy media for free, without signing in.
- Add libraries directly or with Quick Scan
- Check generated file sizes and clean up categories or groups for free
- Inspect original and external media, previews, and metadata

Reverse Tracking
Start from external folders and files instead of a library. See which libraries reference each item, then separate duplicates and unused files before cleanup.
- Trace library usage by folder or file
- Visualize duplicate and unused files
- Mark missing files/folders and reanalyze parents

Media Transfer
The execution screen for real file movement. Export internal original media, embed external media into a library, or move external media between storage locations.
- Export, embed, and external-to-external flows
- Copy or move-and-delete transfer options
- Affected-library review and result sheets

Auto Relink divides external-media link work into four focused modes
Review link state, externalize internal original media, change media locations, and repair broken links from one window so Missing Media and storage migration follow the same rules.

Externalize
Replace library original media with a verified external duplicate and leave a symbolic link behind to reduce library size.
03
Media Change
When the same media exists in another external location, repoint the link to the new volume or folder.
04
Fix Broken
Repair links broken by drive renames or folder moves by comparing candidate paths before relinking.
Where does it fit into real work?
Repair Missing Media after a drive change
Use Auto Relink to compare candidate paths and repair broken symlinks after an external SSD is renamed or a folder moves.
Audit footage stored on a NAS
Register shared media folders and separate used files, unused files, and duplicates before deleting or archiving.
Archive internal original media after delivery
Export original media from the library to an external SSD or NAS, and in move mode leave symlinks behind so references stay intact.
Make a self-contained delivery library
Embed external media back into the .fcpbundle so the library can be opened without the original external drive.
Designed for repeated work on large projects
Startup restore and cache-based re-entry
Saved libraries, media folders, analysis results, and snapshots are restored after login so repeated work starts quickly.
File change and missing-state visibility
FSEvents, volume state, and missing file/folder prompts help distinguish deleted paths from offline external storage.
macOS permissions and external volumes
Security-scoped bookmarks restore access to approved folders, while SSD and NAS availability is reflected in the workflow.
Transfer progress and recovery routines
Byte-level progress, per-file status, cancellation handling, result sheets, full cache clearing, and factory reset support long-running work.
How it differs from manual cleanup
Manual
Guess deletion candidates from file names and dates in Finder
Footage Manager
Use Reverse Tracking to confirm library usage, duplicates, and unused state
Manual
Move files first, then relink Missing Media one item at a time in FCP
Footage Manager
Use Auto Relink and Media Transfer to validate candidates, change links, and review results together
Manual
Guess how moving external files affects other libraries
Footage Manager
Review affected libraries and external-to-external transfer results before treating the job as done
Start before the next Missing Media
As libraries grow, what matters is finding files faster, moving them safely, and keeping projects openable afterward.
