Were they viewed & attached via your subscription? Once your subscription expires, you will lose access to them. We advise that they are downloaded to your own device while you have access, then upload them to your keepsafe.

I’m not entirely sure if media (photos, certificates, census images) can be attached to a tree on FMP. Perhaps someone else can advise?
Apparently a gedcom download will come with the ‘events’ recorded but not the actual images.

Many of us use an offline tree as our ‘Master’ version. We can download & attach what ever we like to that.

How on earth do you check 30.000 birth/baptisms and perhaps 4 to 5000 marriages.

There are number of programmes available, some free others to purchase. Many people use Family Tree Maker which links to Ancestry.

My personal favourite is Family Historian. That links to FMP which means, as I have a sub, I can see the actual records instead of an outline hint.

Both FTM & FH can be used as stand-alone programmes - don't allow them access to the internet.
