It's OK, just to simple and plain for that price. Doesn't catch info from iMDB, can't monitor folders for new items, can't select the screenshot for preview frame, can't specify double click action, etc.

Version: 3.4.4

I've been searching for an alternative to Adobe Bridge to manage my growing video file collection. Cinematica is fantastic except for one missing feature which for me is really very important; to be able to easily filter by date created. I know that I can create a Smart Collection and then use the appropriate criteria but even that is not very straightforward. There is no equal to operator which means I have to create two criteria to filter to a specific date. If you can add the feature to be able to filter by date, I'd immediately buy Cinematica! Thanks!

The current version is 3.3

Cinematica is a fantastic video manager. I am very fond of the storyboard feature. Retina images look stunning. Unfortunately, I have a small monitor and I couldn't find a way to hide the sidebar and the left and right shelves to have a complete view of them, so they appear incomplete. Other than that, every feature is spot on.

There is a huge need for something in this area, and I purchased this. Pretty impressive overall but is missing a couple key features that if implemented would be huge. 1) The ability to relink files. For instance, when working at the office some video files are attached via USB drive. However, when I arrive home they are on a network share. I'd like to be able to relink(similar to how Final Cut does it). 2) Use QuickLook within the app instead of launching Qucktime or the Finder. Other than those 2 features, this is a great app and has a lot of promise. Nice work, guys.

It's a very cool feature that you can drag'n drop movie files onto the Cinematica-window and it reads out information like size, duration, resolution, etc. That's exactly what I need, for I am collecting mainly documentaries from the german Mediatheken, were the stations provide many of their broadcasts for a limited time. It would be great to have a list (Excel o.e.) containing these information to keep an overview not only if I already own this file but also to check if it is only existing in a lower resolution. Unfortunately Cinematica comes with no export-ability at all. But the developers promised some month ago that this is a planned feature.

Hi. Not really a review because I just decided against purchasing this based on the comments. I'd love something to help me catalog my digital movies. Even better still, something which would let me to a "screen cap" while the movie's playing. Right now, I'm alphabetized A – Z via EXCEL (groan) and am waiting for something where I can list the movies, director, actors, year, titles etc, AND keep the movies stored. Currently, a listing on my blog helps me when making purchases, and I just keep all my movies on an external hard drive OR TWO!!! Rooting for you guys. Would purchase at this price, but thought better of it. Sorry.

I am perhaps naive, but I assumed that this app was capable of renaming a movie file, but that is not the case. Also there is no help menu or documentation, as far as I know. I agree with the reviewer that this app is not worth the money I paid for.

I have been using this app for a year or two. I bought version 1. How ever had issues with it consuming all the memory. Then version 1.1 was released and the app then performed as advertised and was vey good you use. Now version 2 has been released and the same issues prevail. It consumes all memory and renders the computer unusable. I have emailed support who are very responsive and obliging and want to do all they can to help. So I expect I’ll get a response very soon, But I expect I’ll be waiting for version 2.1 before I can utilise version 2s new functions.... But otherwise this is a VERY useful media manager when it works....

Version: 1.1

Apparently abandoned by this tiny developer from Incline Village, Nevada...

Here is the list of things I would like to have in this application. 1. Show items in a grid and sort them with the series name just like iTunes. 2. Sort video list feature by the TV show series. 3. Same or similar interface as iTunes or better. 4. Expanded list feature would have sorting bar on the top. 5. Convert videos into other formats.

This application was an instant buy for me. I've been waiting awhile for an application like this that aggregates all the things I've accumulated over a lot of drives all over my network. Just wish it had an auto fill option for sites like Amazon to speed along the process of adding details and such. It auto uses just the right app to play the file and outside of the afore mentioned wish does everything I could have asked for in a Movie Library Manager. Look forward to future features and updates.
