Why we like it

ConsoliMate stands out in the Adobe Exchange library for handling consolidation through re-wrapping rather than re-encoding, keeping audio and video close to their original quality while producing a portable project.

What is Consolimate?

ConsoliMate is a panel for Adobe Premiere Pro from MoovIT GmbH that turns editorial projects into self-contained, portable packages. It processes multiple sequences at once, auto-detects the active sequence, and extracts only the exact portions of media your timelines use rather than copying whole source files.

For media, it applies direct file copying to audio formats such as WAV and AIFF, and smart re-wrapping to video formats including MXF, MOV, AVI, MP4, and MKV, maintaining original quality without re-encoding. Handle lengths are customizable, defaulting to five seconds of lead-in and lead-out, and original timecode references are preserved across consolidated media. Nested timelines are flattened automatically, duplicate in/out points are detected, and offline media and invalid paths are validated.

The panel relinks consolidated media into a rebuilt bin structure, keeps incremental timestamped backups, and supports batch processing across Windows and macOS. Flexible export paths and real-time progress tracking accompany each job.

Who is Consolimate best for?

Consolimate is best for post-production houses archiving completed projects, broadcast teams packaging episodes and backups, and independent creators building portable project packages for collaboration.

How much does Consolimate cost?

Consolimate is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does ConsoliMate work with Premiere Pro 9.0?

ConsoliMate is compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro 9.0 and later. It runs as a panel using Premiere Pro's CEP support, and its required tools install automatically on first use, which needs network access during initial setup. The panel works on both Windows and macOS. You'll also need sufficient storage space for the consolidated media, since ConsoliMate copies and re-wraps the portions of source files your sequences use into a new self-contained project. Check the developer's page for details relevant to your specific Premiere Pro build.

What video and audio formats does ConsoliMate re-wrap?

ConsoliMate handles audio and video formats differently during consolidation. For audio formats such as WAV and AIFF, it uses direct file copying to preserve the original quality. For video formats including MXF, MOV, AVI, MP4, and MKV, it uses smart re-wrapping that maintains the original quality without re-encoding. It recognizes file extensions for format detection and includes handling for non-video media. This approach keeps consolidated media close to the source while building a portable project. See the developer's page for the full list of supported formats.

Does ConsoliMate re-encode media during consolidation?

ConsoliMate does not re-encode video media during consolidation. It uses smart re-wrapping for formats like MXF, MOV, AVI, MP4, and MKV, which maintains the original quality, and direct file copying for audio formats such as WAV and AIFF. It also preserves original timecode references across consolidated media and offers customizable handle lengths, defaulting to five seconds of lead-in and lead-out. This keeps editorial integrity intact while producing a self-contained project. For specifics on how each format is processed, check the developer's page.

How do I install ConsoliMate?

ConsoliMate installs its required tools automatically the first time you use it, so there is no separate manual setup step for those components. This process needs network access during initial setup, and you'll want enough storage space available for the consolidated media it produces. The panel relies on Premiere Pro's CEP support and runs on both Windows and macOS. Once installed, the workflow moves from selecting sequences to configuring handle lengths and export destinations, then executing the consolidation. Refer to the developer's page for current installation guidance.

Is ConsoliMate free?

ConsoliMate is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change, so check the developer's page for the current details before you rely on it for a project. The panel focuses on consolidating Premiere Pro sequences into self-contained, portable projects, extracting only the media portions your timelines actually use and relinking them into a rebuilt bin structure. It supports batch processing of multiple sequences, incremental timestamped backups, and real-time progress tracking during each job. MoovIT GmbH provides the panel through the Adobe Exchange listing.
