Video Barbershop

A lightweight macOS video editor specifically designed to capture, bulk clip and clean converted VHS tapes. A robust set of features enable you to do far more than just trim videos. Bulk import and export clips and apply settings across multiple clips, even multiple videos, with the touch of a button. Color correct dark or faded VHS tapes, crop out black borders captured from the original TV signals, correct audio drift and even leverage Apple's Audio Unit v3 plugin architecture to clean clicks and hums with builtin plugins or leverage plugins from 3rd parties. A custom designed commercial detection system allows you to calibrate to your specific video quality, then detect and clip commercial breaks and black frame transitions. Color code clips according to clip length and easily review and remove unwanted programming... then merge your clips back into a single video or export each clip independently. A powerful metadata report template scripting language allows you to customize the metadata you wish to track, tag videos and clips, and generate any style of report. Easily generate reports for everything from YouTube chapter markers to adding entries in your database or Excel documents. Video Barbershop is your neighborhood video barber in a world of complicated and overpriced video salons. It may not have every feature other video salons tout... but that's the point. It has what you actually want when converting, cleaning and editing VHS tapes, with simple to use controls. If you want to dig deeper, there is an advanced mode in each section, opening up extended features like keyframing... but it doesn't overwhelm you with possibilities if you are new to video editing! If all you need is a simple cut, Video Barbershop is there for you. Video Barbershop for macOS 15.5+, and the free version Video Barbershop Lite, are lovingly crafted by Joby Bednar, a VHS collector and enthusiast who made these apps for his own unique hobby of digitizing VHS tapes. This isn't something slapped together by some nameless corporation, requiring monthly subscriptions and gigabytes of drive space. This has been lovingly crafted with a heart and soul, focused on making the kind of tool needed for addressing the specific issues one faces with converted VHS. It may not replace your entire video editing pipeline... but I bet you'll find something in here that makes it a valuable addition to your pipeline! I'm a lone developer creating software for niche enthusiasts. If there's something else you wish it could do, let me know! I'd love to hear from you and continue to make this the best video editing app for VHS enthusiasts!
