  • Great But WYSIWYG

    Very helpful at a handful of editing/tweaking/media cleaning tasks, and a nicely-scalable interface.Only complaint: I've been waiting 2 years for the addition of custom default export settings with no luck. Not the end of the world, but having to manually reset multiple settings every time I export does add up to a non-zero amount of frustration.Hopfully 2019 is the year!

  • It's my go-to video swiss army knife.

    Flipped

    I've been using VideoLoupe almost daily for over a year (I bought it from developers site when it wasn't on the Mac App store). It's been a critical tool to my daily workflow both as a Pro video editor & also just as a Mac user that needs to view/scan/mark/export portions of videos or stills from videos (but to be clear it does WAY more than just those, that's just what my workflow most often requires). It's a super handy & lightweight tool to do a TON of tasks with video clips without having to go into a heavy app like Fina Cut or a mess like QuickTime X. For me, Videoloupe started to fill the void that Apple left behind when they let Quicktime 7 Pro die. Videoloupe hasn't covered ALL the things QT7 did so your mileage may vary depending on what you need, but it covers enough low hanging fruit to warrant taking a close look if you work with video clips. It's hard to explain how much it does because it's really a Swiss army knife and it's features are extensive. I love that the developer has given the user a bunch of tools & controls without oversimplifying to the point of uselessness, even if it takes a little exploring on the users part at times. I use only a portion of Videoloupes options and it's well worth the price to me. If you're an editor - it's a no brainer to give it a try. If you're a more moderate Mac user take a look too but know that there's a slight bit of a learning curve (but seriously don't let that scare you - the developer has a free trial on their website).

  • Does Not Support MKV format

    THe app had plenty of promise and hope; but to call it a swiss army knife is completely false. Not supporting a wide variety of modern video formats like MKV — shows that an app like this has a long, long ways to go to be a "go to".A quickly wasted 20 dollars for me.

    This app has not tutorials, manual or any information on how to use it. I used ChatGTP and that didn’t help. On the website it says that they don’t have a manual yet but they will answer any questions. I couldn’t even do simple stuff like changing the order of videos. The click and drag didn’t work. I contacted customer support with no answer. Useless app.

    App doesn't work with Big Sur file directory, meaning you can't load movies. Hasn't been updated in two years. Look elsewhere..

    Developer Response

    Videoloupe has recently been updated and should work properly with macOS Big Sur and Monterey.

    Needed a video viewer for types that QuickView ignores. This isn't it.

    Developer Response

    Videoloupe is a native macOS app that is built on top of Apple's media libraries. It doesn't claim to support third-party formats that macOS doesn't natively support. This is stated on Videoloupe's website. For those curious, there's also a free, fully-functional demo version you can download before making a purchase to see if Videoloupe (and macOS) supports your videos.
