Description

MetaDoctor Pro 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 Pro, 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 added either from an image file or by copy and paste, and adjusted and cropped within MetaDoctor Pro using the built-in image editor.

MetaDoctor Pro 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 Pro 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.

MetaDoctor Pro

I have been using this app for several months now and I am totally delighted with it’s capabilities. It makes movies put into my plex server index fast with little or no editing within plex. Thanks for a great app. Would recommend it to anyone with a media server. Take Care.

Update 05 June 2020:
Some of the fields when manually editing do not allow the paste function using the mouse. You must use the keyboard commands. Would be nice if all editable field could use the mouse for cutting and pasting features. Still this is a great program which I love to use and would recommend it to anyone who has a media server. Take care.

Incredible tool

This is a great app for what it is meant to do. It functions beautifully and intuitively. I use it primarily to divide long videos into chapters (a feature that is strangely absent from iMovie). By dividing it into chapters and being able to add a title to each chapter, I can quickly access which portion of the video I want to see when wathcing the videos on quicktime or on my AppleTV. Being able to easily add the metadata has also made it great for sorting and searching.

Not Great for iTunes Music Video

Though there is an option for MPAA Rating, there is not a field for iTunes rating with the number of stars I rate a video or file. Nor the option to mark with the heart icon signifying you love it or it is a favorite. I tried to contact the company on their website, but their contact form woukld not go through :(. Hence, though a bit helpful I still need to enter some batch information using iTunes, which will not stay when the file is copied elsewhere. If they matched all of the fields in iTunes I would have given it more than 3 stars - maybe the next update?

Developer Response ,

iTunes rating is not part of audio or video file metadata, it is stored separately by iTunes.
