MetaClip – Pure frontend video metadata parser and batch checker

Paste a link and inspect any mp4's metadata without downloading the whole video

Problem: Video developers often have to download an entire video and call ffmpeg just to read its metadata—heavy and cumbersome. Batch-checking multiple videos for codec, resolution, and duration is painfully slow.
Solution: A browser-based tool where you paste a video link or upload a file to quickly parse mp4 metadata (codec, resolution, duration, frame rate) and batch-process multiple links with CSV export. Everything runs locally with no video upload.
Users: Video developers, content moderators, and operations staff who need to batch-check video assets
MVP: Browser-side mp4 metadata parsing; supports URLs and local files; batch queue processing; CSV/JSON export; no login required
Revenue: Free basic tier + paid batch processing and API access; offer enterprise private deployment
Why now: Short video and AIGC content are booming, increasing the need for video metadata checks, while libraries like mp4box.js mature—an indie developer can quickly build a zero-upload lightweight tool
