Sorting by video codec Sat Jan 30, 2021 9:32 am • by Lameth
Hi,

I'm a happy Hazel user for several year now. After switching to Hazel 5 I decided to introduce some new rules for making my life easier but without success.

I intended to sort my videos by video codec and I recognized that there is attribute named "Codecs". Unfortunately I was not able to set up a rule to move all HEVC movies to a given folder and other movies to a second one. Is Codecs able to handle video codecs and how is it used correctly?

Thanks in advance,
Lameth

Select one of the video files in Finder and do "Get Info". Do you see the codec specified there? If not, then Hazel won't be able to see it either.
