Video Barbershop
💈 v1.3.1 Beta is now available 💈
A lightweight macOS desktop app for clipping and editing videos.
Designed especially for converted VHS tapes.
macOS 15.5+
A Unique Video Clipping System
Most other video salons are designed to create a single video. Video Barbershop is designed to create clips... lots of them!
A unique paradigm of managing videos and clips bookend your editing tools and preview player. Not just an asset library, it represents your exported workflow, allowing for quick and efficient clipping, cleaning and merging.
Magically Clip Commercial Breaks
Have a VHS tape with commercials you want gone? Or are the commercials the best part?
Automatically detect and clip programs and commercials. Color code based on clip length to quickly review and remove unwanted content. Easily merge everything back into a single file, or export each clip separately!
Your VHS Tape Too Dark?
CRT TV signals compressed color values, leaving true blacks and whites for signal data and closed captioning. Your capture device may have just captured that raw compressed data, leaving you with dark and washed out video.
Video Barbershop features simple controls to correct your VHS tape! No need to buy expensive hardware for a better capture. Fix it in post.
Ditch the Video Salons
If you are tired of bloated video salons eating up your hard drive and trying to push features you never use... Video Barbershop is here for you!
Designed from the ground up to bulk edit and extract clips from VHS tapes, it's like someone took all your favorite tools and packed them into your local neighborhood video barber. A clean clip without all the fuss.
Metadata & Custom Reports
Custom metadata and a robust report template system let you manage your video library beyond file export.
Create reports that generate YouTube chapter markers or format data for your preexisting database. Tracking your archive in a tab delimited Excel sheet?
We got you.
Native macOS
Built for macOS 15.5+
Tested on an M1 chipset, it's fast and modern, but not so much that we are leaving you behind with each version.
Look, you own a VCR. You don't need the latest and greatest technology, do you? That Mac Mini from a few years ago is just fine to run Video Barbershop.
