About:
Arctic is a specialized macOS utility designed for inspecting and managing Final Cut Pro X library databases. It provides a graphical interface to view library metadata, consolidate assets, and perform maintenance tasks that are difficult to do within Final Cut Pro itself. The tool helps editors optimize their workflow by revealing hidden details and enabling bulk operations on library files.
Key Features:
  • Visual library database explorer
  • Metadata inspection and editing
  • Asset consolidation and cleanup tools
  • Support for large libraries with efficient browsing
  • Read-only mode for safe inspection
Use Cases:
  • Diagnosing performance issues in large Final Cut Pro libraries
  • Cleaning up orphaned media files and recovering disk space
  • Verifying library integrity before project migration
  • Extracting metadata for archival purposes
Alternatives:
  • Final Cut Pro – FCP has limited built-in library management; Arctic provides deeper inspection and control
  • PostLab – PostLab focuses on collaborative workflows, while Arctic focuses on local library analysis
