MetaDoctor is a comprehensive and powerful video metadata editor for your .mp4, .m4v, and .mov video files. Specially designed to work with iMovie and iTunes - and now the TV App and Apple TV - tags, cover art, and chapters can be edited easily and efficiently in a single convenient window. Edit the video file metadata with MetaDoctor, import into the TV App, and enjoy your videos on your Apple TV complete with descriptions, art work, and chapters. Chapters can be added with ease using the built-in video pane. Scrub the video to the desired frame, click a button, and the chapter is automatically inserted at that exact time. No copying, pasting, or typing. Changing chapter times is just as easy. Cover art can be imported either from an image file or using copy and paste, and adjusted and cropped within MetaDoctor using the built-in image editor. The Pro version, available as an upgrade, includes several additional advanced features. Metadoctor Pro can copy the metadata from another video file, a great feature for quickly adding metadata to a video file that has been edited in iMovie, for example when additional video footage is added. Chapters can be added at any desired interval using the chapter generate function. MetaDoctor Pro can also scan the video for scene cuts and automatically suggest chapter points. Cover art can be set from any frame of the video with one click. Batch mode feature allows editing of multiple files simultaneously. MetaDoctor Pro also includes TMDb lookup of metadata for your purchased content, and a web search capability for chapter titles. MetaDoctor is an advanced multi-threaded application that takes advantage of multicore processing and the latest macOS technology to provide the highest level of performance. Multi-gigabyte video files are loaded and written nearly instantaneously.
Useless for me
I purchased this based on other reviews saying it's a must for anyone with a large media collection, but this works on a very limited selection of file formats. I misread m4v as mkv, which is what most of my collection is is. Further to that, it doesn't even show metadata that I know to be certain mp4 files I'm working with.
Great with Handbrake/Plex
I was looking for a simple, reliable metadata editor to use with my handbrake files as I prepared them for Plex and this cannot be beat
Such a Good Utility
I have tried a lot of apps that implied they could do some of the things this one can do. Sadly none could meet their own claims well. Fortunately I found this wonderful treasure. Very soon after I began working with it I upgraded to the Pro version. This app has been able to do everything I have been wanting and it's rock solid! Obviously, highly recommended! As a side note, there are only three two-star reviews, no one-star or three-star. That's quite a record for any application, particularly one with a rich feature set. I am bringing this up to let any current reader of these reviews know that two of the negatives mentioned are non-existent at this time. I do not know if the earlier versions had the missed capabilities or not. I just want this version to not be overlooked due to those reviews.
Wasted money!
You can only edit one file at a time. This is the first thing you see when you click on support after downloading so your which tells me this is the common expectation and a recurring let down. You might as well just click on "get info" and hand-jam each one individually same concept.
Meh. It's OK
It does function and it's stavle, etc. I wish it would look up metadata for me, though. If it did that, I would probably upgrade to a paid version.
All day looking for something for movie meta..
This one works. All the other well publicized meta taggers that I tried (6 of them?) crashed or hung, then crashed later. Yes.. even the subscription based ones which you would think would be dependable, we slow and crashy. Maybe I will find things along the way I won't like or wish was different - but I'm happily tagging now and thats more than any other program was offering. This one is well made and just works.
It does not work with iDVD
The application is simple and to the point and it may be great with other applications. For me, however, I wasted $5.00 because it does not work with iDVD. The developer should clearly state this deficiency in the product description.
Fix for issue where release date may not correctly load from file or TMDb.
