Instantly audit fonts in Apple Motion and Final Cut Pro templates. Spot missing fonts, match your system library, and export clean reports before delivery.
Font Spy — Font Audit for Templates
Font Spy is the font-audit utility built specifically for Apple Motion and Final Cut Pro editors and template creators.
THE PROBLEM
- Motion and FCP template packages hide their font requirements deep inside XML project files. A single missing font can break a title sequence, shift a layout, or force a re-render right before a client deadline. Hunting through nested .moti, .motn, .motr, and .moef files by hand does not scale once a template library grows past a handful of projects.
WHAT FONT SPY DOES
- Font Spy scans entire folders of Motion templates and Final Cut Pro title, transition, generator, and effect packages, then reports every font referenced inside them.
- Deep scan: Recursively parses .moti, .motn, .motr, and .moef files, including nested template folders, using multi-threaded background scanning that keeps your Mac responsive.
- System match: Checks each font found against your installed system fonts using fuzzy matching (exact name, style suffix, and partial match) so near-matches are not missed.
- Missing font alerts: Flags exactly which fonts are not installed, so you can source or license them before a client opens the project.
- Instant search: Full-text search across every scanned font and file path, with results in milliseconds even across large libraries.
- Visual dashboard: Charts summarizing file types, top fonts used, and overall library health at a glance.
- Clean exports: One-click CSV or JSON reports for client hand-offs, team documentation, or archiving alongside a delivered project.
- Quick-access folders: Jump straight to common Motion and FCP template locations instead of navigating Finder every time.
WHO IT'S FOR
- Motion template creators auditing their library before publishing to a marketplace
- Editors and post houses vetting third-party FCP templates before a project goes to a client
- Teams standardizing font libraries across multiple editors and machines
Font Spy reads your files locally, nothing is uploaded, and access is limited to the folders you choose. Font Spy is an independent, third-party utility. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Apple Inc. Final Cut Pro and Motion are trademarks of Apple Inc.

Improvements
- Fixed a few quick-access folder labels (Suggestions, Custom Folder, and the Motion/Final Cut Pro template shortcuts) that were staying in English regardless of your selected language. The directory picker now fully respects your chosen language everywhere.
