MetaMovie App Reviews

The app works well for tagging movies but it wont tag anything else like TV shows. I found MetaZ on the internet and it works just as well and will even do TV shows etc plus its free!

A perfect app. Does exactly what I need, and is well thought out and designed. Being able to like to IMDB and automatically add info to my movie files is such a time saver.

Perfect App, exactly what i need

Dont update to the 1.3. Auto search IMDB on file load isnt working. But, the real issue is that you cant copy the meta data from IMDB. Thats the only reason I was using this app.

I used to like this until the latest update makes the window so big, the buttons at the bottom does not show up on desk top and there is NO WAY to adjust the app window to make them appear. Until this bug is fixed, DON"T UPDATE.

Something is broken with the upgrade and the TMDB intergration is not working. If you are a current Metamovie user DO NOT UPGRADE until they fix the release as you will be very dissapointed. Wish I would have checked reviews first. :( AppFacture Please fix your app ASAP!

good one. saved my time will be nice if similar one available for updatingmusic files also

Don’t waste youre money. Does not work

Needs fix. Randomly an error messages comes up saying that the file name can not be changed unless the folder is named ‘Movies’ Doesnt matter if I change the folder name, sometimes it works most times it does not. Very disappointed.

Everytime I try to open a movie it freezes. Force quit and then it works on the 2nd attempt. Please fix

Just updated my Meta Movie, TV, and Copy. I ran a through a few files to test the update and haven’t encounterd any issues yet. The tools have been essential for my file orginiztion in general and a real enhancement to my iTunes experience. I love the new design and am thrilled about the Batch processing. The incorporation of the TVDB and the MovieDB make it the easiest and fastest way to fill in the appropriate video Meta Data. So big thank you to the Dev!

I usually use FilmTag to fill in all the info for my movies and then upload it onto iTunes, but sometimes it’ll mess up (wrong genre, rating, etc) so i bring the tagged file to MetaMovie to fix that. It works seamlessly, but most times I open the file, it changes the release date to 1/1/2012 (even though the release date was correct on the file when in iTunes) so I always have to manually fix that. Any reason why that happens? Besides that, I wholeheartedly recommend this app.

Did my entire collection in minutes. Selected all my movies and it automatically collected all the data. Great purchase

The Software works very well as described. I wasn’t expecting the speed of this software to be this fast, you drop a movie or multiple movies and all the information is imported quickly. In addition you get to choose different movie covers which is one of my favorite features. Metamovie is well worth the price.

I’ve only tried a handful of movies, but i did do some kind of obscure kids movies (curious george) and it found them and tagged them beautifully!! For those who don’t know how to work it when you buy it. -Drag Movies into the Movie List section or Open/Add them. -Then click on the magnifying glass (Search button) in the slide out drawer you see on the far right. You can see the Drawer is the section in the sample pictures above has the various movie artwork. -Click on the picture you like, Click the Copy button the bottom right corner of the Drawer. - Once you have done this to all your movies, click the Tag All button on the top button bar. You’ll see your movies with artwork now

This supports a mostly automated workflow to match data and cover art to movies found in TMDB. Import a large list of local files and, with the “Start search on new movies automatically” preference checked, the app does most of the work of finding and matching your movies. The best part is that the process does NOT automatically commit changes to your files; instead, you have the opportunity to correct the match (e.g. if there are re-makes or other movies with the same name) or choose different cover art. For $3, I was able to fix all of my hundreds of movies in 2-3 hours.

I have some mp4 files I wanted to tag. It was able to open a few of them, others gave an error that mpeg-4 format not supported. For the rest, it totally destroyed the files. After saving, the filesize was a bit larger, but would not longer open or play. Luckily I had a backup of my movies and was able to restore it. Waste of 3$ and a lot time!

Love this app. Wish you would also make a similar app for tagging music!

I formerly used a tool called Meta-X and it was really hit and miss. This app is perfect in that it always retrieves the correct data and uses movie cover artwork in a file size that won’t drag down a very large library. My only wish is that one app could do tv and movies, but overall this was a purchase well made. Perfroms stellar, easy to use and powerful. It made me go back to all of my movies and update their meta data with this app… well done devs!

When you try and open a file with the Mac’s “open with” menu, the option does not exist. If you manually select the app, it just gives an error.
