Final Cut ReLinker
A local Mac utility for repairing moved Final Cut Pro Original Media links. Scan a library, match broken symlinks against current media folders, review risky items, and relink the safe matches with a backup.
Move media folders without manually rebuilding every link.
The MVP focuses on one painful Final Cut Pro situation: a library still points to old external media paths after footage folders move.
A real relink plan before writing anything.
The interface separates selection, status, broken-link rows, and the final apply area, so risky matches do not get mixed with safe ones.
How to use Final Cut ReLinker
The guide follows the current MVP: choose a Final Cut library, add current media folders, scan missing symlinks, inspect the plan, and apply only when the plan is clean.
The MVP covers the core relink job.
This is not a general file manager. It is a focused utility for Final Cut Pro libraries that use external media links.
Why editors need a small tool for this
Local repair, conservative writing.
The current product is designed for careful recovery. It works locally, writes a backup, and does not edit Final Cut Pro's internal databases.
Useful after drives, folders, or project archives move.
