![]() ![]() It does even more, so check out the video for the details. Remember, all generated media can be regenerated by FCP X, so there's no danger in deleting it. This is a huge timesaver when you need to free up disk space. No need to launch FCP X and open each library, or go into the library bundle. You can even choose to delete generated media – that is, optimized, proxy, or render files – right from the app. And it doesn't matter if you have a managed library or if your media is external. And of course it's searchable so you can determine which drive contains your project in seconds.īut it does quite a bit more than that – at a glance you can tell how much space your media is taking up – including original, optimized, and proxy media. It then lists every library, every event in that library, and every project in every event. When launched, it scans all connected drives – so just connect any drive that contains a library for a moment to get it catalogued. I do try to label my drive boxes but I eventually run out of room doing that.Įven if you are more organized than I am, you'll benefit from Final Cut Library Manager by Arctic Whiteness. Most of these drives are not connected, so when I need to locate a specific project for a specific client, I need to connect each drive, open each library, and check the events. However, I now have dozens and dozens of libraries spread over multiple drives, including my internal drive, portable drives, and large 2TB SATA drives. I love the new library model introduced in 10.1 because of the way it makes media management so much easier, and ensures my clips will be online when I open a project. It's 10 o'clock do you know where your libraries are?Īnd even if you do, do you know what's in them? This week on MacBreak Studio, I talk with Steve Martin from Ripple Training about an indispensable application if you use Final Cut Pro X. ![]()
