I've been using iFlicks for a long time, and went to the SetApp version when version 3 came out. I've noticed that loading videos into the queue now takes *forever*. Lately I've been buying iTunes box sets, and unfortunately iTunes delivers a box set as a single season with the episode names mangled to include the season and episode number. My standard practice has been to segment episodes into season folders and use an ABFR droplet to rename them back to the format you'd get if you bought individual seasons, and pour them into iFlicks a season at a time to get iFlicks' better metadata. Under iFlicks v2, pouring in a season of episodes into the queue would make the episode posters all appear within a couple of seconds; under v3 it takes minutes for each episode to appear. Is this the fault of SetApp, or has iFlicks v3 taken performance down a dozen or so notches?

Coolness!!! I give it a 4 because the metadata search is extremely slow.. but in general it is a great piece of software.

I flicks 3 is the latest update to an extremely valuable software! It is an excellent application for incorporating metadata into a movie or TV episode. It’s very simple to use, it also has a convenient batch option - drag, drop, make a few tweaks, select import into iTunes, then press Start. Simple and easy! So….what does it do? It looks up your video files (based on file name or whatever you put in the search field ) from several online databases, and then adds the metadata and artwork to them. It will also encode the files to fit on almost every single device you could think of! Included in the metadata search it also finds the release dates, actors, description, artwork, and more! For movies, it adds rectangular, and for TV shows, it adds square artwork, as the iTunes Store does. iFlicks’ also has user definable rules, available in the app’s preferences. I use these mainly for my personally edited home movies. It lets you choose what the app does when it loads files, after metadata is updated, and after videos are processed. I have it set to add my personal artwork, season & episode, tagline, etc. The developers are ALWAYS listening for feedback. Very responsive. This year they have switched to a subscription model. This seems to be where everyone is slowly heading. All in all…..iFlicks does an amazing job of making video importing easy. If you like a clean iTunes library and are always adding TV shows and/or movies……. It is worth it!

Best way to transcode and add metadata to movies to make them macOS and iOS compatible out of the box. Transcoding only takes place if necessary for compatibility, otherwise only metadata is added, which is automatically downloaded from the internet.

Nice interface and handles most but not all files (some inexplicably fail) and slow on metadata. Therefore I prefer VideoDrive which also uses HandBrake, the best in its class, for video conversions. And while the adding videos to iTunes is great and all, I do wish Apple would overhaul iTunes as it has become too bloated

this is a fantastic app and as they say below, the best of its kind. there are a few caveats imho, which is why I'm not giving it 5 stars. The first is speed. Fetching the metadata is very slow. I have a very fast 150mbit fibre connection and i tested iFlicks before and after I upgraded from a 20mbit speed. There was almost no improvement. Ok if you have a few films, but if you have hundreds it gets complicated. Transcoding each into an itunes compatible format is also cumbersome. I would like to be able to rename files and use rules without having to transcode.

Excellent application for incorporating metadata into a movie or TV episode. Pretty simply to use, utilising a very convenient batch option - drag, drop, make a few tweaks, select import into iTunes, then press Start. Simple. Highly recommend to those who like reliable and accurate info on their imported movies and TV shows when playing through iTunes or Apple TV.

The issue with iFlicks selecting the wrong audio track is a big one. Best would be just to let me pick an audio track when multiple audio tracks found, because now it's a lottery and usually the wrong audio track is selected. Fix it please.

I would give it a perfect 5 if the preset "Reference File" would work. But no, I have change iTunes to work in 32bit (because thats the recommendation on iFlicks site for this preset to work) and although it makes the small reference file appear and play fine in iTunes, it does not appear or play in my Apple TV 3. I have to mux (without encoding) all my MKV films with the option "iTunes compatible". Witch is perfect by the way. But it takes more time than a simple "Reference File". Waiting for the next update to "fix" this. But still, a great app that I'm going to by in the next update. ;-)

Isn't iFlicks supposed to embed SubStation Alpha from MKV?! it should, but it doesn't work! Really annoying! I'm importing in iTunes all my movies from DVD, extracting them with makeMKV, and, before using iFlicks, I have an MKV with every subtitles I want; after iFlicks, no subs. Am I doing something wrong or it's an iFlicks problem?

Great App!!! The best in its genre, with its precise metadata and artworks from "The Movie Database". But.. 1) It's not possible to import a video with its subtitles (.srt and .sub files) 2) It's not possible to import from a DVD (like from a VIDEO_TS folder or an .iso file) 3) It's not possible to specifically choose which fields take from TMDb (for example I would like to deselect to import comments, tagline and stars). 4) It doesn't work on correcting genre and stars when you select multiple movies. 5) It sometimes crashes, specially with .flv video Fix these things, and this app will be a 5 STAR app!

Nice functionality, however... Only processes one file at a time, making progress very slow for multi-file batches. Generates a large amount of inactive RAM when doing batches, and never seems to release it. If I do a TV season for example, I have to restart my Mac afterwards to get my memory back (2.8 GHz i7 with 16 GB RAM).

If you have not updated to 1.4 yet, do yourself a favour - don't. I don't use the encoding functionality so my review is specifically about the metadata function. I have raved about and recommended iFlicks to a lot of people, it is an excellent app that does metadata search and write quickly and efficiently - except version 1.4. The switch from AppleScript to Services, while a little painful, would have been more palatable if the new method worked - the simple fact is that it doesn't. In fact with 1.4 the app has become one frustrating to use crippled mess. The selected service will work 1 in 10 times, the app 9 out of 10 times will hang - and that is when trying to add media by the service menu, + button or drag and drop. It is astounding that the developer has released such a buggy mess to the market. I have downgraded to 1.2.3 because it actually works. I'll think long and hard before upgrading again.

Requirements are incorrect for version 1.4.0! The developer has stopped support for PowerPC leaving behind those paying customers that helped paved the way for a crap store submission. Requirements Mac OS X 10.6 and higher (10.6.8 or higher recommended). iTunes 10.2 and QuickTime Perian 1.2.2 is recommended for best video format support. This is the 20th developer that has rudely abandoned paying customers in their vain hopes of making a quick buck at the MAS. And this was the last one I will ever pay for software again. I'm through with supporting people that don't give a rat's ass about their customers. I thought I left this kind of mentality behind when I converted from a Microsoft dominated platform to the Macintosh platform. The tables have turned and it's Apple who's telling everyone how high or when to jump. And the lemmings follow them off the cliff. Thank you for nothing and for adding the fixes of bugs I paid for into a version I can not use. I own a MBP 2011 but I prefer to use the G5 as a server and a workhorse to avoid slowing my work projects down.
