MOV/QuickTime metadata FAQs
What can I see in a MOV/QuickTime file?
We expose GPS/location atoms, device and timecode info, codec/bitrate/resolution/FPS, and track titles/languages—no transcoding of your MOV files.
Do you change or recompress my MOV/QuickTime file?
No. The viewer only reads metadata from your MOV/QuickTime file and shows it back—streams, pixels, and content stay untouched.
What if my MOV/QuickTime file has little or no metadata?
Some MOV/QuickTime files ship with minimal fields. We show everything present—if a tag is missing (like GPS or author), there simply isn't any data to display.
Can I verify attachments or previews in a MOV/QuickTime?
Yes. If the MOV/QuickTime contains embedded previews, cover art, fonts, or thumbnails, we surface those entries so you know what ships with the file.
Can I copy the MOV/QuickTime metadata for documentation?
You can copy the on-screen results to include in tickets, audits, or delivery notes without modifying the original MOV/QuickTime.
