What it is
MetaVideo is a free macOS utility for inspecting and editing metadata embedded in video files. It gives Mac users a straightforward way to view and adjust key information attached to their media, helping keep video libraries tidy and searchable.
Main features
- Edit tags and other metadata fields quickly and save changes back to the file
- Inspect descriptions and long-form metadata for each video
- See and modify the title and basic item information
- Work with a wide range of common video formats for greater compatibility
Who should use it
This application is especially useful for creators, archivists, and anyone who manages large collections of video content. Its simple interface reduces the time spent hunting down metadata, making it easier to maintain consistent labeling and organization.
How to get started
Install MetaVideo on your Mac, open a video or drag files into the app, review the displayed metadata, make edits, and save. The layout is designed to make common tasks—like renaming fields or adding tags—fast and intuitive.
Alternative option
VK Messenger (free) — a no-cost alternative worth considering for users who need a way to share videos and discuss metadata with collaborators, though it is primarily a messaging tool rather than a dedicated metadata editor.
