Choose what to trim

Review each media file, see the parts your project uses, and keep any full file you still want.

Create trimmed media files

ArchiveCut writes the used sections to a separate archive folder that is ready to move wherever you keep finished work.

Everything in one place

A smaller Final Cut Pro archive that’s ready to keep.

ArchiveCut gathers the media your edit depends on, even when it lives in a Final Cut Pro library, external drives, or other folders. It trims each selected file down to the used sections and keeps a full copy when that is the safer choice.

The result is one self-contained folder you can move to a backup drive, NAS, or long-term storage.

Made for real-world edits

Trim media without breaking the timeline

Edits can contain more than simple clips. ArchiveCut traces those relationships so the smaller archive stays faithful to every included project.

Layered edits

Keeps the media used by connected clips, synchronized clips, secondary storylines, and compound clips.

Multicam projects

Preserves multicam clips and keeps the active camera angles Final Cut Pro identifies in the project.

Speed changes and audio

Calculates the right source ranges for retimed video and audio.

Cautious by design

Keeps the full source file whenever trimming could put the finished edit at risk.

Storage results

A smaller archive, ready for storage.

ArchiveCut gives you a clear summary of the new size, space saved, trimmed files, full-file copies, and anything that needs your attention.

Once you’re satisfied with the archive and have backed it up, you can delete the original project, event, or library with confidence.
