How can I use Mac OS to query the dimensions (aka aspect ratio, or resolution) of video files that do not display that information in "Get Info > More Info" dialog, or add these dimensions to the file metadata once discovered? I notice this info is missing for some .mp4, .mkv, and .avi files. so it doesn't seem to be the container that is problematic. Is there a way to edit file metadata natively in MacOS X?
Mac mini, 10.11
They are indeed available for some mp4 files, in the “More Info” section. that’s why I posted this query. I have discovered MetaZ, a utility that allows you to edit metadata for mp4 files. I’ll let you know how well it solves the problem.
I have the same issue. I believe it's a server issue. I'm running Mac OS 10.11.6 Server but the clients are Mac OS 10.13.6
For old user accounts, I am able to save the MP4 onto the server and the dimensions are there but on new user accounts, that info is not there. The only way I've found to fix this until I find the real fix is to use an account that doesn't have this issue and copy the files with missing data onto my computer, delete the files from the server and then copy the same files back onto the server and the info will appear in Get Info. I've tried propagating permissions but that didn't fix. Have to do more troubleshooting
Hello,
Video dimensions are not available from Finder's Get Info pane.
BTW, this also affects finder searches for the MP4 files on the server with the missing More Info data
Video File Metadata in "Get Info"
