Video Metadata Viewer
A Video Metadata Viewer reads the technical information available in an uploaded video, including codec, frame rate, resolution, bitrate, duration, and audio tracks. The Pexo Agent separates container and stream details, marks missing fields, and organizes the result for review.

Video Input
Upload One Video File
Provide the video whose technical details you need to inspect.
The Agent will read available fields and prepare a report without adding values that the file does not contain.
What It Is
Read the Technical Details Inside a Video File
A Video Metadata Viewer reveals technical information that normal playback does not show. The report can include duration, dimensions, frame rate, codec, bitrate, and audio-track information when those fields are available.
The capability reads and organizes the file's technical data without editing the video or evaluating its creative quality. Use the report to compare the source with editing, playback, conversion, or delivery requirements.
Audio and Container Details
Separate file-level container information from the available details of the video and audio streams.
Missing Field Visibility
See when the uploaded file does not expose a particular field instead of receiving an invented value.
How It Works
Check Video Metadata in 3 Steps
Upload the file, let the Agent organize its available fields, and compare the report with your next production requirement.
Upload One Video File
Provide the source video you need to inspect. No creative brief or editing instruction is required for a metadata check.
Read Container and Stream Fields
The Agent identifies the available metadata and separates file-level information from video-stream and audio-stream details.
Review the Metadata Report
Check the reported duration, dimensions, frame rate, codec, bitrate, and track information. Use the result to decide whether the source is ready for editing, conversion, playback, or delivery.
Agent Capabilities
How the Metadata Report Is Organized
The report is structured around what the uploaded file actually exposes.
Identifies Available Fields
The Agent finds the technical fields present in the file and includes them in the report.
Separates Container and Stream Data
Container information is kept distinct from the properties of the video and audio streams so similar terms are easier to compare.
Marks Unavailable Information
When a field is absent or not exposed by the container, the report indicates that it is unavailable rather than inventing a value.
Prepares the Report for Comparison
The fields are arranged in a readable form so you can compare the source with a production or delivery requirement.
Common Questions
Video Metadata Viewer FAQ
What information can a Video Metadata Viewer show?⌄
A Video Metadata Viewer can show available duration, dimensions, frame rate, codec, bitrate, container, and audio-track information. The exact fields depend on what the uploaded file stores and exposes.
Why are some metadata fields missing?⌄
A field may be missing because it was not written when the video was created or because the container does not expose it. Pexo reports the available information without filling gaps with guessed values.
What is the difference between a container and a codec?⌄
A container holds the video, audio, subtitles, and related information in one file. A codec describes how an individual video or audio stream is encoded and decoded.
Does viewing metadata change the video file?⌄
No. The Video Metadata Viewer reads available technical information and does not modify the uploaded source video.
How can I use the metadata report?⌄
Use the report to check whether a source matches the requirements of an editor, platform, playback environment, conversion step, or delivery specification.
