Check a video's resolution, codec, frame rate and bitrate

Overview

Pick a video and the details appear in three groups. File: container format, size on disk, duration and overall bitrate. Video: codec, resolution, rotation, frames per second, video bitrate, whether it is HDR and which kind (HLG or HDR10), and the keyframe interval. Audio: codec, sample rate, number of channels and bitrate. If the file carries recording metadata, such as the device or the date, that is shown too. Copy all puts the whole report on the clipboard as text.

Everything is read from the file on your device; nothing is uploaded and nothing is written. Video info is the only video tool in iEdit that creates no output file, it simply tells you what you have. That makes it the natural first stop before the other tools: the keyframe interval explains how far a lossless trim or split may move a cut, the bitrate tells you what Set bitrate and Compress have to work with, and the HDR flag warns that a re-encode will produce SDR.

Use it to answer the questions a platform or a client asks: is this 4K or 1080p, 30 or 60 fps, H.264 or HEVC, stereo or mono, and why is a one-minute clip so large. It is also the quickest way to see whether two clips match before merging them losslessly. Video info is entirely free, including Copy all, and works offline.
