Safely manage Final Cut Pro generated media.
FCP Cleaner helps editors identify removable render files, proxy media, optimized media and cache data inside Final Cut Pro libraries.
Original media is never removed automatically. Scans are performed locally on your Mac.
Security & Transparency
Built for professional macOS workflows.
FCP Cleaner was designed for editors working with professional Final Cut Pro libraries on local drives, external SSDs and larger storage environments.
Apple Notarized
FCP Cleaner is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple for macOS.
Local Analysis
Your Final Cut Pro libraries are analyzed locally on your Mac. No library content is uploaded to a cloud service.
Original Media Protection
FCP Cleaner focuses on generated media. Original imported media is never removed automatically.
Why FCP Cleaner?
Understand what is consuming space inside your Final Cut Pro libraries.
Final Cut Pro automatically creates generated media while editing. Render files, proxy media, optimized media and analysis files can grow silently over time — especially in larger or older libraries.
Full Transparency
The app shows how much space render files, proxy media and optimized media are taking up before you decide what to remove.
Safe Workflow
FCP Cleaner helps you review generated files before cleanup. Your valuable original media is not targeted by automatic deletion.
Native Performance
Built with Swift for macOS and optimized for Apple Silicon and Intel-based Macs.
Generated media management for Final Cut Pro libraries.
Manually browsing Final Cut Pro library packages in Finder can be confusing and risky. FCP Cleaner helps identify supported generated media categories that Final Cut Pro can recreate when needed.
