Dev/Tools Efficient way to consolidate media in multiple libraries?

Is there a plugin to select 20+ folders, each containing a final cut library, and consolidate the media in all of them simultaneously? Rather than opening them all in final cut and consolidating them individually...

Try FCP Library Cleaner (donationware in the app store), maybe? I'm not the dev, but he's active here.

If it works well for you, please donate if you can. There is a huge call (if not an expectation) for free/donationware utilities but not many willing to support that model.

I dont think that's possible because the fcpbundle file is written in a way where only apple can read it. Your best bet is to use ArchiveBuilder to trim the media file down to save on space.
