and it will save you more than enough time to pay for itself.
Tip: If you didn't run iFlicks first before copying to iTunes, don't worry, since you can
use iFlicks from within iTunes—drag your video file from the iTunes window into the
iFlicks window to begin.
Here's how to use iFlicks:
Make sure you have an active Internet connection, and launch iFlicks.
1. DragavideofilefromtheFinderanddropitintothedarkgrayareatotheleftof
the iFlicks window. To save time, you can add as many files as you like.
iFlicks reads the filename and attempts to pick the correct metadata. If it gets it
right, the correct cover art magically appears on your icon.
If iFlicks picks the wrong metadata or can't find any metadata, you need to look
up the metadata manually. Click the icon at the left and then click the gear icon
near the right of the toolbar ( Figure 49 ). In the General view that appears, the
first two fields are Name and Show, with a search icon next to each. If you're
adding metadata to a movie, click the search icon next to Name. Likewise, if
you're processing a TV show, click the search icon next to Show.
Figure 49: iFlicks uses the video filename to try to figure out
what metadata to import, but you might have to look it up your-
self.
In the search window, search for and select the movie or TV show you want
metadata for, and click OK. The movie suddenly gains artwork and metadata
( Figure 50 )!
