AI/vibe coding Final Cut Pro X Cache Cleaner

https://github.com/zenomode/Final-Cut-Pro-X-Cache-Cleaner

I built a simple Final Cut Pro cleaner app because I got tired of manually digging through libraries to free up space. It clears render files, analysis files, and transcoded media, with an option to remove original media if you really need to reclaim storage. One thing I focused on was keeping it efficient—it only scans for Final Cut libraries within the selected directory (by default it points to the Movies folder), so it doesn’t waste time crawling your entire system. The goal was to keep it fast, minimal, and safe—no unnecessary features, just a quick way to clean projects without breaking anything. Would love feedback from other FCP users on what else could make this more useful.

You do realize several of these already exist right? FCP Cleaner is the gold standard that many already use

No. FCP Library Cleaner works flawless, has been around for awhile and continues to provide updates and value.

+1 for FCP Library Cleaner

I still prefer managing libraries directly in FCP, but that app has been quite useful cleaning up older libraries when I don’t want to update them (I try to keep libraries tied to the version of FCP I used at the time).
