Guide safe Final Cut Pro libraries, events, projects, media imports, proxy and optimized-media decisions, timeline edits, roles, captions, shares, and Compressor/Motion handoffs. Use when a user needs to inspect, edit, repair, export, or hand off a Final Cut Pro project while preserving source media and existing libraries.From its SKILL.md

Final Cut Pro Workflow
Use this skill for Final Cut Pro app operation, not AVFoundation or custom media-code work.
Source Check
Open Final Cut Pro Help or search the local Tips/Help Viewer catalog for Final Cut Pro. Confirm the guide matches the installed app/version before relying on an import, library, proxy, share, or relink path. Read references/library-and-delivery-contract.md before changing a library, event, project, media relationship, or delivery artifact.
Workflow
- Classify the task: inspection, library/event organization, import, proxy or optimized-media decision, edit, captions/roles, missing-media repair, Motion handoff, share/export, Compressor delivery, or output verification.
- Establish the artifact contract: library/project path, source-media policy, managed-versus-external media state, intended timeline/range, target platform, format, roles/captions, destination, overwrite rule, and deliverable owner.
- Inspect before action: selected library/event/project, active timeline, media locations, missing-media/proxy state, render/share state, connected storage, selected ranges, and existing destination contents.
- Preserve source state. Use a duplicate library/project or explicit backup before consolidation, relinking, deleting generated files, changing media location, or making wide timeline changes. Do not infer that a generated proxy, optimized copy, or render file is safe to remove.
- Make the smallest correct edit. Keep project, event, library, media, and role boundaries clear; explain any tradeoff in proxy quality, optimized-media storage, color/HDR, captions, or sharing settings.
- Confirm immediately before importing into a managed library, relinking, consolidating, deleting generated/original media, modifying a shared timeline, rendering, sharing, exporting, or replacing an existing delivery. State the exact source/range, destination, name, format, and overwrite behavior.
- Verify the result: inspect library/project state after edits, or inspect the exported artifact for name, location, duration, dimensions, codec/container, audio, captions/roles, color/HDR, and target playback where required.
Guards
- Do not open, modify, consolidate, or repair an unfamiliar library as a probe.
- Do not confuse deleting generated media with a harmless operation; inspect whether original, optimized, proxy, render, or cache assets are selected.
- Do not relink or reveal missing media by guessing a replacement path.
- Do not claim a Motion template is installed or a Compressor delivery is valid until the receiving app or output artifact has been checked.
- Hand source-code media processing, codecs, and application implementation to
apple-dev-skills.
