Free Media Management tool for Mac?
Hi, does anyone know of a free media management tool for mac other than Media Mover for which I don’t have the means to pay for at the moment. I really need to sort out all my files so that I can put the ones I need on a hard drive to be sent out for color correction and sound editing. I did a bad thing while working on my project…I ran out of space on a couple hard drives and spread my project onto 3 different drives and right now its driving me insane. Thanks for any advice.

Why not just consilidate the sequence to a target drive that you use to send?

Thanks that program would have been great if it supports MXF files but it only supports OMF files right now and im primarily using MXF…could someone explain to me how I consolidate my sequence and the files with it over to my external harddrive?

Duplicate your final, master sequence. Drop it into a new bin. Select it and go to Clip –> Consolidate/Transcode. Select the external drive you want it to go to, choose not to delete the original media (unless you really want to), set your handles if you want them and hit OK.
It will now create new media based only on what was used in your sequence, plus the handles you specified. Copy that bin to your external, which now has all of the footage for the master sequence on it, and send it off.
You may want to check that everything transfered over first though, just to make sure it didn’t miss anything.

ok so I did do it right last time iguess because i did the same thing you just described…now I tried it again and got the same error I got last time….”Exception: Operation not supported, filename:creating0″ the only thing I can think of that might create this problem is the fact that my external is currently in Fat32 format and doesn’t support the large files. However this error come up immediately after I click “Consolidate” Thanks again.
