Trimmed Sources
Export only the portions of source files used by the project, with handles you choose. This is for smaller archives, client handoffs, and finished projects where unused footage does not need to travel.
Final Cut Pro workflow extension
Export the source media your Final Cut Pro project actually needs.
CoreTrim runs inside Final Cut Pro as a workflow extension. It requires Final Cut Pro to be installed on your Mac and is not a standalone desktop app. Drag a project from Final Cut Pro onto CoreTrim; CoreTrim analyzes the media it uses, then creates either trimmed source media or complete source copies with a new project export that links to the exported files. Your original Library, edit, and media stay untouched.

Source export modes
Trim for storage savings, or copy complete sources for full handoffs.
Untrimmed Sources
Copy the full original source files used by the project and point the exported project to those new copies. This is for source clones, turnovers, and jobs that need complete media files.
Safeguards
Built around careful, non-destructive media handling.
-
01
Original media stays untouched.
CoreTrim does not modify, move, rename, rewrite, or delete your original source files.
-
02
Your original edit stays untouched.
CoreTrim writes a cloned project export for import. It does not change your active Final Cut Pro Library.
-
03
Reports explain what happened.
Export reports describe copied, trimmed, skipped, or warned sources and include source list detail for reviewing the handoff.
