macOS Integrations

Built into your Mac's workflow

Media Inspector doesn't stop at its own window. It plugs into the parts of macOS you already use — a Finder preview, a Shortcuts action, an automation — so inspecting media becomes part of your workflow instead of a detour.

Quick Look

Press Space. See inside.

Media Inspector adds a Quick Look preview for the very formats the Finder draws a blank on. Select an MKV, WebM, MXF or WMV, tap the space bar, and its full metadata summary appears — right there in the Finder, no app to open.

  • Covers what macOS can't — Matroska, WebM, MXF and Windows Media, where Finder shows only a generic icon
  • A Quick File Facts card — container, duration, bitrate, video and audio at a glance, plus a representative frame
  • Instant — the summary is on screen the moment you press space, backed by a preview path engineered to be ruthlessly fast
  • The same engine as the app, so the preview matches exactly

Shortcuts

A folder in. Reports out.

Every core action — analyze, report, checksum, open — is a native Shortcuts action. Chain them into your own workflow, trigger it from a Finder right-click, and run a whole folder unattended. No app to open, no clicking through files one at a time.

  • Four native actions — Analyze Media File, Generate Report, Compute File Checksum and Open in Media Inspector
  • Right from the Finder — run any workflow as a Quick Action on the files you've selected
  • Batch by default — point it at a folder and get one branded report per file, hands-off
  • Feed JSON or CSV straight into your MAM, or drop PDFs into an ingest folder — the actions compose with everything else in Shortcuts

Select a folder of masters, run the shortcut, and a matching stack of archival PDFs appears — no app, no clicking through files.
