About:
MetaVideo is a macOS utility designed to inspect and modify metadata tags embedded within video files. It supports a wide range of formats including MP4, MOV, and MKV, allowing users to edit details like title, artist, and copyright. This tool is essential for organizing media libraries and ensuring files contain accurate, searchable information.
Key Features:
  • Batch editing capabilities for multiple files simultaneously
  • Support for common video formats like MP4, MOV, and MKV
  • Clean, native macOS user interface
  • Preview changes before saving
  • Preserves file integrity during modification
Use Cases:
  • Organizing a personal movie or home video collection with consistent metadata
  • Adding copyright or authorship information to video files before distribution
  • Fixing missing or incorrect metadata tags on downloaded or recorded videos
Alternatives:
  • Subler – Subler is a popular alternative that also handles metadata, but MetaVideo offers a more streamlined interface focused purely on tag editing.
  • ffmpeg – FFmpeg is a powerful command-line tool for media manipulation, whereas MetaVideo provides a graphical interface for easier tag management.
