FCS Maintenance Pack

FCS Maintenance Pack is a utility pack designed to keep your Final Cut Studio or Final Cut Express machine running at optimal performance and help resolve problems when they arise.

The suite contains tools to repair corrupt QuickTime movies, locate corrupt clips within Final Cut Pro projects, diagnose crash logs, manage plugins, repair Final Cut Pro projects, manage autosaves, salvage movie data from corrupt files, and much more.

Show-stopping problems always seem to occur on a deadline - FCS Maintenance Pack is designed to rapidly diagnose and fix common issues, ensuring users get back on track as quickly as possible. With the Task Scheduler utility, maintenance tasks can even be scheduled to run in the background for convenience.

FCS Maintenance Pack includes:

Autosave Cleaner:
Expanding on the basic autosave management in Final Cut Pro, Autosave Cleaner offers more flexibility and can remove autosaves based on additional criteria including age and file size.

It can also be set to automatically remove autosaves from the Trash so that you don't have to keep emptying it when working on a long project.

Corrupt Clip Finder:
When you have corrupt media on your timeline, Final Cut Pro will simply crash and you will not have any idea which clip is causing the issue. You face the long and arduous process of reconnecting each clip one-by-one in order to find the problematic one. Corrupt Clip Finder finds the corrupt clip for you in seconds.

Crash Analyzer:
Analyzes your Final Cut Studio crash logs, attempts to diagnose the cause of the crash and suggests ways to solve the problem.

FCS Housekeeper:
Trashes various caches and temporary files to keep Final Cut Studio in peak operating condition. FCS Housekeeper is even more useful when used in conjunction with Task Scheduler to run these tasks automatically.

File Salvage:
Extracts video and audio data from corrupt movie clips and places it into a new file.

Path Manager:
Manages the locations of user and content directories on your system. It can inform you if the extra content that ships with Final Cut Studio is missing or invalid and allow you to easily move and synchronize content.

Plugin Manager:
Plugin Manager allows you to quickly and easily organize your Final Cut Pro plugins. You can group them together, install new plugins and selectively enable and disable them - all without having to worry about where the plugins are physically located on disk.

Project Repair:
Attempts to repair non-launching projects so that they are recognized by Final Cut Pro again. Can fix the infamous "Project is unreadable or too new for this version of Final Cut Pro" error.

QT Repair:
Verifies, repairs and rebuilds the structure of QuickTime movies. Also repairs invalid CLUT IDs and optionally restores trimmed or edited media. For more heavily damaged files, it can combine the movie data of the damaged file with the QuickTime structure of a working file.

System Toolkit:
A wealth of options to tweak and tune up your system, including:

- Extra launch and display options for Final Cut Studio applications
- Manage Final Cut Studio registration
- Scan, repair, refresh files and remove temp files from disks
- Manage QuickTime components
- Streamline your applications by removing unused languages and architectures
- Access hidden settings in OS X

XML Repair:
Repairs invalid Final Cut Pro XML files and can convert XML files to different XMEML versions for compatibility with earlier versions of Final Cut Pro.

Also includes:

FCS Remover:
Removes Final Cut Studio, Express and Server. Can remove the entire suite or individual applications.

Preference Manager:
Manages Final Cut Studio preference files. Allows you to trash, backup, lock and restore preferences. Can also be configured to restore a particular set of preferences before a certain project is launched for per-project preferences.

Compressor Repair:
Repairs the fragile links between Compressor and Qmaster.
