Flavio,

Since FCP handle media MUCH more differently than an Avid, there is less need for these kind of “sifting” tools. Frankly, everything you’ve just described can be done at the finder level with NO special tools necessary.

“Projects” in FCP do NOT carry the same significance as they do with Avid. Therefore, organizing your media around a project like you would with an Avid is not taking advantage of the strengths of FCP.

We’ve been using FCP in a large workgroup environment, with dozens of shows spread over 50 terrabytes of data. In the past three years we’ve NEVER had need for a “media mover” program, but we’ve managed tons of media . It’s just NOT an issue with FCP.

its available at the belle-nuit websiter as freeware. it only works with avid. (a lot of stuff at belle nuit is menat for avid)

i have found quite a few apps out there that help move all kinds of files around in all kinds of ways. Mac explorer, file buddy, file sync, etc

I use a web search engine called dogpile (www.dogpile.com) it tends to be a little more focused than google. i would recommend using it to search for “mac file utilities” or “mac file management”

dont forget versiontracker either

hope this helps

There actually is a way to move all your media to one place with Media Manager…but I tend to avoid using MM if I can.

Best,

I don’t know exactly what you are looking for, but Marco Solorio has a new product out that might be worth taking a gander:

Flavio,

I guess you missed my point.

Organize the media in a logical, clear way to start, and you won’t need to “search” anything. It will be obvious.
