It’s been a few months, but Final Cut Library Manager version 2.66 is finally here.

This release has targeted the performance issues that some of you have been experiencing. It’s now much quicker to start up and become ready for action. Let us know what you think!

Here’s the full list of changes:

• FCLM is now much quicker to start up, particularly after the first launch.
• By popular demand the contextual (right-click) menu is back.
• You can now manually force a refresh of the list via the File menu. This is useful for when there are state changes that FCLM can’t follow, such as changes to externally referenced files.
• The German translation has been updated.
• Many stability and bug fixes.

2014 was an exciting year for us! On Tuesday, March 4, 2014 we released Final Cut Library Manager and generated over 1,500 visits to our website that same day! This product was primarily born out of our own needs in the editing room, but the enthusiastic response we got showed us that Final Cut Library Manager had captured the interests of Final Cut Pro users world-wide.

FCLM 1.00, March 2014

We very quickly received tons of feedbacks and requests, and once we had prioritized the development we were able to release version 1.5 extremely quickly. Yet more requests and an underlying change by Apple then let us to release version 2.0 just a few months later!

FCLM 2.60, 9 months later!

The latest version (2.60) prepares us for the future, replacing the trash can button on each line with a menu that will include new possibilities for managing your libraries. For example, the new Library Template feature…

And all this is thanks to you!

Arctic Whiteness is a home-run, two-man business. It’s through your purchase that we can take time to improve Final Cut Library Manager! We hope that next year we be as fruitful as this one’s been! If you like it, talk about it on social networks and around you (please!). Your comments are always welcome through our contact page.

Happy New Year! :)

We’re happy to announce the release of version 2.60 of Final Cut Library Manager!

This latest version includes the following improvements:

• The ‘cleaning’ icon has been replaced by a ‘gear’ that reveals a menu of possible actions for that element. This new flexibility opens up the user interface for future expansion.
• Once such new feature is the option to save a library as a template – a feature that’s been requested by many users. You can thus, for example, create model libraries set up with keywords, folders, smart collections, etc. and then easily create new libraries from those templates.
• The design has been adapted for Yosemite.
• A few bugs have been addressed.

Finally, note that this is once again a free update for existing users. The trial version allows the use of most of the features of the software without any time limit.

Although the interface has not yet redesigned to match the look of Yosemite, Final Cut Library Manager 2.57 works perfectly on Mac OS 10.10.

A future update will feature a flat design. Here’s a peek…
