Indexing archives

One method of indexing external devices that you are using for archiving is the Final Cut Library Manager software utility.

Final Cut Library Manager

This software is purchasable software that is mainly used for reducing the size of libraries, but it will also retain information about any library that has been on any disk, whether it is currently mounted or not.

In the sidebar of Final Cut Library Manager, any disk can be selected and the Final Cut Pro libraries that were on that disk the last time it was indexed will be recorded:

 Figure 19.27 – Any disk previously mounted shows in Final Cut Library Manager

NeoFinder

My personal option for indexing is to use NeoFinder, which is a $40.00 software utility that keeps an integrated database of storage devices. Download the 7.8.1 version – if you have fewer than 10 devices, the demo license can be used indefinitely for free: https://www.cdfinder.de/download.html...
