Final Cut Pro Assistant – New Utility for Final Cut Pro

The folks at Peake Professional Systems sent me a notice about their new utility called: Final Cut Pro Assistant.

One of the challenges of working with Final Cut is keeping track of all the different files it creates. Most of the time, Final Cut does a great job of managing everything. However, every so often, things go ker-flooey. That’s where this software can help.

Some of the tasks it performs include:

• Resetting Final Cut Pro (i.e. Trashing Preferences)
• Emptying cache files
• Removing unneeded Easy Setups
• Backing up all User Settings files
• Restoring User Settings files from backups
• Restoring additional Easy Setups
• Deactivating Final Cut Studio
• Configuring OS X for Final Cut Pro

Note: I just found out that this is Leopard-only (OS X 10.5). It won’t run on 10.4.

The program is shareware. You can learn more about it, and download your own copy, here.
