Get the details behind your media. Compare files side by side, spot differences, search technical properties, and export clear reports—all on your Mac.
Know exactly what’s inside your media files.
Scoop! brings technical media information into a clear, native Mac interface. Drop in your files to inspect their properties, or compare several files side by side to see what matches and what changes.
COMPARE FILES AT A GLANCE
Line up the same properties across your files in one comparison window. Highlight differences, show only matching properties, or search for the details you need. Expand and collapse groups to keep your view focused.
EXPLORE THE DETAILS
Powered by MediaInfo, Scoop! reveals information such as format, codec, duration, bit rate, resolution, frame rate, audio channels, and embedded tags, when available. Switch between Basic and Advanced information to choose your level of detail.
WORK YOUR WAY
Open an individual report directly from Compare without losing your place. Link searches across regular report windows with Chain, reveal files in Finder, and export or print an individual report.
KEEP IT CLOSE
Enable the optional menu-bar icon for quick access and a convenient drop panel. Choose whether dropped files open in Compare or in regular report windows, and optionally launch Scoop! at login.
MAKE IT COMFORTABLE
Choose dark, light, or system appearance. Adjust the report font and text size, and enable vibrancy if you prefer. The interface supports English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Hungarian, Norwegian Bokmål, Swedish, and Polish. Many media property labels are translated too; unavailable translations fall back to English.
LOCAL FILE INSPECTION
Media inspection happens on your Mac, without uploading your files or requiring an account.
Whether you’re checking an export, comparing encodes, or investigating an unfamiliar file, Scoop! helps you find the information that matters.
Requires macOS 13 or later. Available information depends on the file format and metadata present. Scoop! inspects media information; it does not edit or convert your media files.

Helped me sort out Voice Memo files
brian163
Having used Voice Memo on my iPhone for years while syncing content via iTunes, somewhere along the way I ended up with tons of duplcates that made their way into iCloud. For some bizarre reason, iTunes can't display the creation date for Voice Memo files so your at the mercy of the Voice Memos desktop app to see when something was recorded. And of course that app doesn't have a "show in Finder" function because Apple feels compelled to protect users from themselves/doing stupid. Long story short, dropped the files iTunes created onto Scoop! and voila! One of the fields shows the encoding (creation) date that was otherwise "invisible" to me. Brillant little app and while it may not need any coding updates for technical reasons, I hope the lack of updates isn't a sign the dev isn't support it for the long haul. To the dev, thanks!
Useful to have in your Video Toolbox
Scorysto
This type of tool is a must if you do any work with video. The multiple windows makes for really easy side by side comparisons. This is a great successor to iMedia Hud. I miss the ability go have it down in my dock to just drag and drop files onto the icon in the dock, but over all this is still one of the best versions of this type of tool out there.
Functionally very good. UI could be better.

The app lists a plethora of technical data about video and audio files. Two listings are available: “Basic” and “Advanced”. “Basic” is enough for all my purposes. The app can print the output or save it to a text file. Each file opens in a separate window, making it possible to compare file data side-by-side (a distinct improvement over similar apps I have tried). My only gripe would be about the interface: I am not a fan of the white-on-grey font, the window background transparency, or the Courier font, all of which make reading the details rather hard on the eyes. I would encourage the developer to revisit those design decisions (or provide for user settings) in a future release. In summary, for a FREE app, this is excellent.
Excellent tool for a quick info comparison
Ati_Z
I had several video files and I wasn't sure if they were duplicates. This tool can display basic or advanced information such as frame count, detailed file size and duration info, etc. It can do this side-by-side. I could compare my files in a few minutes.Would highly recommend to anyone who needs it for such purposes, or to those who need to display detailed info on their video files.Oh, and I didn't mention it's free?
