Organize Tab¶

The Organize tab provides four project cleanup tools.

Mirror Folder Structure¶

Recreates the source file paths of selected items as bin hierarchies inside a new REORG_<timestamp> bin.

How it works:

1. Select items in the Project Panel.
2. Click Mirror Selected Items.
3. Scrub reads the source file path of each item and builds matching folder hierarchies inside a new bin.
4. Items are moved into their corresponding folders.

Use case: Re-organize imported footage to match the original folder structure on disk.

Organize By Date Created¶

Sorts selected media items into date-based bins.

Settings:

How it works:

1. Select items in the Project Panel.
2. Set the base bin name and date format.
3. Click Organize Selected.
4. Scrub reads each item's creation date (from XMP metadata or file metadata) and moves it into a date-named bin.

Example: With base bin "Footage" and format YYYYMMDD:

Footage/
  ├── 20260301/
  │   ├── A001.mov
  │   └── A002.mov
  └── 20260305/
      └── B001.mov

Move Unused to _Not_Used¶

Scans all sequences to identify used media, then moves everything else into a _Not_Used bin at the project root.

How it works:

1. Click Move Unused.
2. A progress bar shows the scan progress.
3. Scrub builds a set of all project items referenced in any sequence.
4. Items not in that set are moved to _Not_Used.

Use case: Clean up projects with large amounts of imported but unused footage.

Delete Empty Bins¶

Scans the entire project and removes all bins that contain no items.

How it works:

1. Click Delete Empty Bins.
2. Scrub scans all bins in the project.
3. Empty bins are removed.

Use case: Clean up after reorganizing or removing footage, which often leaves behind empty folder structures.
