File Size Analyzer for Video Project Folders
See which clips, proxies, exports, and project folders are making your video storage grow out of control.
Video projects become enormous for predictable reasons: source footage, proxy files, render caches, audio stems, exported cuts, graphics packages, and older versions of the same timeline. The problem is not that these files are large. It is that once the project is over, it becomes hard to tell which parts still need fast storage and which parts are simply taking up room.
A file size analyzer helps answer that quickly. Instead of treating the whole project folder as one giant mystery, you can see which subfolders are carrying most of the weight and decide whether they belong on local storage, archive storage, or nowhere at all.
That is useful for editors, creators, and teams trying to reclaim working space without breaking a future revision workflow. The clearer the storage picture is, the safer the cleanup decisions usually become.
Features
Break Down Giant Project Folders Visually
See whether the real storage problem is source footage, proxies, exports, caches, or something else hidden deeper in the project.
Prioritize Archive Decisions Better
Identify which folders need fast local storage and which can be moved to slower archive drives more safely.
Inspect Project Size Locally
Review the video-folder structure in the browser without uploading project contents to another service.
How It Works
Select the full project directory so the analyzer can show the relative size of its clips, exports, and supporting folders.
See where the majority of the storage is going before deciding what to archive, compress, or remove.
Use the breakdown to identify old exports, caches, or project versions that no longer need premium storage.
Archive completed material and remove obvious duplicates so your working drive stays more usable.
Why Video Folders Need Size Analysis Before Cleanup
Large creative projects are hard to clean without a map. A single folder may contain the final delivery, several rough exports, a large proxy cache, and a full copy of original footage that has already been backed up elsewhere. If you try to clean that blindly, it is easy to delete the wrong thing or keep far more than you really need.
A size analyzer helps because it makes the folder structure legible. You can see which project parts are taking up disproportionate space and which are small enough that they are not worth worrying about. That allows for smarter archive decisions rather than general panic about the whole drive.
For editors juggling multiple active jobs, this is especially valuable. It lets you reclaim high-speed storage with much more confidence while still protecting the parts of completed projects that are likely to matter if a revision request appears later.
