Scan
Point Offcut at your libraries. It reads, it never touches. First results in seconds.
Your old Final Cut Pro projects are hoarding your drive space.
And drive storage is getting expensive! In one place, neatly presented, Offcut scans Final Cut Pro libraries across your Mac and External Drives for the clips no project ever used, unused ranges in longer clips - and the files FCP can simply remake - then shows you what could be safe to let go. Nothing is moved or deleted until the final step, with a 30-day recovery period by default.
0GB reclaimable
Across six Final Cut Pro libraries on one working drive.
Scan, review, reclaim.
Review
Two piles: files Final Cut Pro can remake anytime, and clips that appear in no edit. Scrub every clip full-speed before you decide. Used clips are locked - they cannot even be selected.
Reclaim
A confirmation sheet spells out what goes, where it goes and how to undo it. Confirm, and unused clips rest in Quarantine for 30 days with one-click, byte-verified restore.
Three kinds of dead weight.
Generated Media
Render files, optimised media, proxies, thumbnails, waveforms. Final Cut Pro made them once; it can make them again. Offcut shows each category's size, what it is in plain English, and how long it would take to rebuild - then clears the ones you choose.
Unused Media
Every archived project hides clips that were imported, considered, and never used in any edit. Offcut checks every project in the library and only calls a clip unused when every signal agrees. Anything ambiguous is left out entirely - Offcut never guesses in the direction of deletion.
Range Trim
Used clips are not always used whole. An edit that keeps two minutes of a two-hour take leaves the rest as dead weight inside a used file. Offcut measures exactly what keeping only the used parts would free, then builds a trimmed duplicate of the library - frame-accurate and verified against Final Cut Pro's own output. Your original library is never touched.
Built paranoid, on purpose.
The scan is read-only
Nothing is moved or deleted until the final step.
Used clips cannot be touched
They are structurally undeletable. The delete machinery cannot see them.
Undo until you empty it
Deletions go to the Bin or a checksummed Quarantine with a manifest, restorable for 30 days.
Nothing leaves your Mac
Your originals, library files and backups are on a never-touch list baked into the app. Offcut's only network calls are update checks and licence validation.
Congrats - you reclaimed 364 GB.
Every unused clip and every trimmable range from one working drive, back on your Mac.

Questions worth asking before you delete anything.
What exactly does Offcut delete?
Only what you approve at the final step: regenerable Final Cut Pro files (render files, optimised media, proxies, thumbnails, waveforms, analysis files) and clips you have confirmed are unused. Nothing else, ever. Camera originals and library structure are on a never-touch list.
How does it know a clip is unused?
It checks every project in your library, and only calls a clip unused when every signal agrees it appears in no edit. Anything ambiguous is left out of the list entirely rather than offered to you - Offcut never guesses in the direction of deletion.
What if I delete something I need?
Unused clips go to a checksummed Quarantine, not oblivion. For 30 days, one click restores them byte-for-byte to exactly where they were. Generated files are remade by Final Cut Pro itself. Emptying the Bin or clearing the Quarantine yourself is permanent, as is deleting an original library after a Range Trim.
Does my footage get uploaded anywhere?
Never. Scanning and analysis happen entirely on your Mac. Offcut's only network calls are update checks and licence validation.
Will it touch my originals?
No. Original media, library metadata and backups are structurally protected - the deletion machinery has no path to them.
What do I need to run it?
An Apple silicon Mac running macOS 14.4 or later, and Final Cut Pro libraries worth cleaning.
Why not just use Final Cut Pro's own delete commands?
Final Cut Pro can clear generated files per library, but it cannot tell you which clips no edit ever used - that is hours of manual cross-checking per project. Offcut does both, across every library, in minutes.
Is it really one price?
Yes. US$14.99 once. Everything included, every 1.x update included. No subscription. If we ever build a bigger product, it will be a separate choice, never a rug-pull.
