  • Cleaning up before archiving. An auto-delete tool

    Posted by Helge Tjelta on December 3, 2013 at 9:50 pm

    Hi, all.

    I’ve just released a tool on the mac app store. It will delete renderfiles, proxyfiles, transcoded files and optical flow files in one go.

    using fcpx you quickly get a lot of files and gigabytes on your drive. And before archiving you’ll need to throw away stuff that you don’t need. So I created a tool for deleting files not needed for re-editing. All files that can be re-generated gets deleted. In one button!

    check it out at:

    Thank you! Just bought this. Going to speed up things quite a bit.

    As an example, this app just reduced a project from 7 gigs to about 700 MB. A 90% reduction in storage requirements for archived projects is VERY nice. Thanks again!

    Version 1.5 is live in the app.store…

    Now it can also search for hidden projects/events…

    + scrollbug is fixed.
