Make It BRAW

For Final Cut Pro

A small FCPXML/MLD tool that bulk-relinks .mov proxy edits (created externally) back to their original .braw media automatically. It also updates metadata in bulk so you can stay in FCP without loss of applied adjustments/effects – if you just installed BRAW Toolbox v3 but started the proxy edit without it before, that is.

Free Download

Current Version: 1.2 (100% Swift, macOS 15+)
Requires LateNite's BRAW Toolbox V3 with its new
native media extension for actual FCP compatibility.

What it does

Proxy → BRAW relink

Auto-changes .mov proxy clips in a project to source .braw files, keeping all applied effects.

FCPXML/MLD adjust

Edits media reference paths and resolution metadata cleanly, so your adjustments stay the same.

BRAW Toolbox integration

Works alongside BRAW Toolbox v3 for seamless and native editorial workflow exchanges.

Make It RELINK

For Final Cut Pro & Davinci Resolve

A specialized tool designed for "impossible" relinking scenarios. While FCP's native relink command requires strictly identical metadata (e.g. duration/audio channels), this app is for when you know the clips are correct despite those differences. The app uses a "global replace" logic to bypass FCP's internal restrictions.

Free Download

Current Version: 1.2 (100% Swift, macOS 14+)
Based on the syntax of deprecated FCPXchange
by Telemarq 2014 with its clever surgical logic.

What it does

User first enforce

If the user says these two files are the same, the app makes it a reality at the code level.

Sony–Resolve Bug

Eliminates failing translations for Resolve for given Sony MP4 files and wrongly read timecode.

DTD Validation Fix

Every time value injected matches the exact string format FCP expects, repairing given XMLs.

Make It MOVE

For Final Cut Pro

A simple tool for cloning used-media only, copying all source clips referenced in a project/edit to a new location. No need to give someone else 20 TB if you can hand over your actually used clips only. A much-needed step when working with multiple editors or transferring an edit to a different machine.

Free Download

Current Version: 1.1 (100% Swift, macOS 14+)
Inspired by also deprecated ReferenceX by TokyoCode,
but without its advanced features or interface.

What it does

Overview of clips

Opening an FCPXML/MLD shows a summary of all project media with the option to inspect it.

Copy & Move

All found clips in a project can be cloned to a new location, copying source files without re-encoding.

Logging process

You also get an overview of what actually happened and if clips could not be found or accessed.

Make It SRT

For Final Cut Pro & DCI Compliance

A small but mighty subtitles utility for DCP workflows, which cleans and fixes SRTs exported from NLEs or delivered by AI to make them SMPTE-compliant. It offers FPS conversions, character limits depending on resolution, and fixed time shifts. It also batch-converts captions to SRTs from given FCPXMLs.

Free Download

Current Version: 1.1 (100% Swift, macOS 14+)
Inspired by also deprecated Belle Nuit ST by BNM,
which had a lot of advanced spotting/reflow features.

What it does

Syntax & Encoding

Takes care of potentially malformed values, ensuring UTF-8 & EBU compatibility for all languages.

FPS conversions

Precise timecode-aware conforms between all common frame rates with optional, fixed time shifts.

DCI-safe & FCPXML

Reflows subtitle lines to fit DCI safe-margins and also extracts SRTs from projects in an FCPXML.

Make It AAF

For Final Cut Pro

(BETA) This little translator tool turns your FCPXML/MLD files carrying your edits into AAF projects for Avid ProTools, while flattening, extracting, and copying all used audio files to a new folder. The engine sticks to basic adjustments and splits multi-channel audio to keep it safe (exclusively using open-source code).

Free Download

Beta Version: 0.9 (Swift, Python, C++ | macOS 14+)
Powered by open-source repository OTIO by ASF and AVfoundation.
Media Engine included, no extra Python/PiP install necessary.

What it does

Syntax & Flattening

Multicam and compound clips become flattened so Pro Tools safely sees your raw source media.

Effects Removed

Keyframes, EQ, effects and plugins are purposefully stripped away to give the mixer a clean slate.

Routing flexibility

Multichannel files are surgically split into independent mono tracks for maximum compatibility.

Installation

At first start, you may see one of the following messages: "This app is damaged and can't be opened" or "Apple cannot check it for malicious software" or "This app is from an unidentified developer". Don't panic and trash the app just yet.

You can safely ignore either message, macOS (Gatekeeper) shows this for all user-made apps downloaded from the internet without a paid Apple certificate. The easiest fix is to whitelist any app via the free Sentinel app.

Alternatively, go to: Apple menu → System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and find the message about the app in question, click "Open Anyway" and enter your admin password.
