What it does

• One click. Set the name, format and cameras, then Create Project (⌘N). Slateflow remembers the folder you create projects in.
• Numbered project folders. 001 - Name, 002 - Name, …, always the next free number in that folder.
• The same structure every time. Admin, Audio, Backup, FCP, Final Exports, Footage, Graphics and Images, or your own folders.
• A folder per camera. Cam A/B, Drone, GoPro, Insta360, DJI Osmo, Sony, iPhone, Webcam, Screen Recordings, Stock Footage, or your own. Each camera also gets a Smart Collection.
• A ready Final Cut project. The .fcpxml carries your resolution, aspect ratio, frame rate, color space, roles, and Smart Collections that sort clips on import. Optionally a second 9:16 timeline for reels.
• The library, created for you. Final Cut creates it in the project's FCP folder, in your installed version's format.
• Set it once. Slateflow ▸ Customize Projects… (⌘,) holds the folders and Smart Collections every project gets.
• See it first, reuse it later. Folder Preview shows what will be created; Recent Projects keeps every project's format and naming.

Install

Download the DMG from Releases and drag Slateflow onto Applications. It's signed and notarized by Apple. Updates come through Slateflow > Check for Updates…; alpha and beta versions are test builds.

Final Cut settings

Final Cut can't take these from the project file, so set them yourself. Customize Projects ▸ Smart Collections repeats them.

• Once, in Final Cut Pro ▸ Settings ▸ Import: turn on Leave files in place, and Keywords: From folders so camera folders fill their Smart Collections.
• When a new library asks for storage locations: set Backups to the project's Backup folder. Media and render files already stay inside the project.

What you need

• macOS 15 Sequoia or later, on Apple silicon or Intel.
• Final Cut Pro.

Private by default

Everything stays on your Mac: no accounts, telemetry or cloud. The only network request is the update check. See docs/PRIVACY.md.

Uninstall

Move Slateflow from Applications to the Trash. To also remove its settings, Recent Projects and log, delete ~/Library/Containers/com.ashifali.Slateflow. Projects you built are not touched.

Build it yourself

git clone https://github.com/PixelEtch/Slateflow.git
open Slateflow/Slateflow.xcodeproj

Run the Slateflow scheme in Xcode 26 or later. CONTRIBUTING.md covers the self-check and pull requests.
