Analyze Premiere projects, find unused imported clips, and safely reclaim storage. Multi-project support with cross-project awareness so nothing gets deleted by mistake Clip Sweeper analyzes your Adobe Premiere Pro project files and shows you exactly which media files you imported to a project are sitting on your drives unused. Drag in one or more .prproj files, and Clip Sweeper parses every timeline, sequence, and nested sequence to determine what is actually in use and what is just taking up space. We all have archived projects from 6 years ago we just can't delete, so let's compromise and delete only what we didn't use. HOW IT WORKS + FEATURES Drop your .prproj files into Clip Sweeper. The shows the clips used and unused in every project so you get a sortable, filterable table of every media file in your project with thumbnails, file sizes, status, and storage locations. Add unused files to a virtual recycle bin, review them, and choose how to handle them: move to Trash, permanently delete, or relocate to another folder. Every action is logged with an audit trail so you always have a record of what was removed and when. Nothing is changed until you confirm by typing "delete" so there's no chance of a mistake. MULTI-PROJECT AWARENESS Working across multiple Premiere projects that might share the same media pool? Clip Sweeper aggregates usage across all imported projects. A file that appears unused in one project but is actively used in another's timeline will be correctly flagged as used. The app automatically consolidates duplicate entries when the same physical file is referenced at different paths, and warns you before deleting anything that might be needed by another project. SMART SEARCH FOR OFFLINE MEDIA We all just move finished projects on our archive drive or NAS which offlines the media on the next project open. Clip Sweeper marks them as offline and uses a Smart Search to automatically reconnect those files using path-aware confidence scoring. OTHER FEATURES • Import and analyze multiple .prproj files at once • Sortable table with thumbnails, file size, usage count, project names, and storage type • Filter by unused, online, audio-only, duplicates, or large files • Filter out "Assets" you import to every project like SFX and transitions with a single click • Text search across filenames and directory paths • Virtual recycle bin with review before committing • Move to Trash, permanently delete, or relocate to a folder • Type-to-confirm safety for permanent deletion • Trace file receipts documenting what was removed from each directory • Duplicate detection with partial content hashing • Filmstrip video preview with timeline scrubbing • Image and audio file previews • Network drive and cloud storage detection (SMB, NFS, Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, OneDrive) • RED R3D camera file support with .RDC container handling • CSV export of unused file lists • All-time statistics tracking with shareable stats card • Full audit log of every delete, move, and restore operation • Drag and drop .prproj files anywhere in the app window • BUILT FOR PROFESSIONAL WORKFLOWS Clip Sweeper handles the real-world complexity of professional post-production: files spread across local drives, network storage, and cloud services. It reads both macOS and Windows paths embedded in project files, gracefully handles offline volumes and proxy workflows, and operates safely within a Mac Sandbox. No media files are touched until you explicitly type out the word "delete" in the prompt window. Whether you are cleaning up after a finished project or needing to free up space from a careers worth data hoarding, Clip Sweeper helps you keep hte clips you used and sweep up the rest.
