Arctic

The quintessential Final Cut Pro library manager

  1. Instant Insight

    Arctic monitors all your drives, locating all Final Cut Pro Libraries, and all media and assets.

    Instantly, you'll know which drives to connect for revisiting old edits, consolidating a project, or preparing a travel library.

  2. Track & Trace

    Creative workflows tend to get a little creative! Arctic is your second brain that helps you track all libraries and the media contained within.

    Search event names, project names, notes, comments, media keywords, media file names and even their personalized names in Final Cut Pro.

  3. Reclaim Disk Space

    Final Cut Pro is pretty good at eating up a lot of disk space, to speed up editing. When your project is finished, reclaim precious GBs.

    Get detailed information on what is recoverable disk space, and with a single click, get rid of render files, caches, and optimized media.

There's more!

The harsh reality of editing video or creating content is your hard drive is going to get full. The only answer is to transfer your projects to another hard drive, perhaps an archive drive. In this video I'm going to show you how I get my Final Cut Pro libraries ready for transfer.

Arctic’s features

All the things a Final Cut Pro editor doesn't want to do without, once you've gotten used to having it.

House Cleaning

Get a heads-up view on the online, offline, or missing status of both Final Cut Pro's libraries and your related media and assets. Duplicate, delete and move your libraries without needing to dig into Finder.

Library Templates

Create templates from an existing library without a hitch. Prepare a standard library in Final Cut Pro containing your go-to keywords, assets, Smart Collections, and more – then use Arctic to turn it into library template for future usage. It's that easy, without limitations.

Slimming Down

Keeping your edit drives lean is not Final Cut Pro’s forte, but having projects around is very useful at the same time. With the ability to prune libraries to their optimal size and keep track of their location means you don't have to move everything to secondary drives all the time.

Beyond The Export

Get quick access to files exported from Final Cut Pro - locate and preview them with Quicklook, share a link via email or visit where you published it online. Even if exports have been moved or renamed you can manually relink them to keep Arctic up-to-date as your single source of truth.

Send to PostLab

Nobody's an island - as soon as you find yourself in need to collaborate, Arctic is not the tool; PostLab is. We've made it extremely simple to send Libraries to PostLab, so that you can continue to work with others as easy as it is to work on your own.
