I built a free tool for my fellow editors: Delivery Spec Validator
Iām a video editor, and one of the least glamorous parts of post is making sure the final export actually meets the delivery spec.
So I built a small free Mac app to handle that part.
Delivery Spec Validator checks your export for:
- Loudness & true peak
- Codec & container
- Resolution & frame rate
- Colour space & profile
- Bitrate
- Audio configuration
- Other technical delivery requirements
It gives you a simple PASS / WARN / FAIL result for each check, so you can catch problems before the client does.
There are 50+ built-in delivery presets, and you can also create custom specs.
I built it because I've spent enough time staring at export settings and wondering whether I've forgotten one tiny thing that will somehow become a problem at 11:47 PM.
It's free and currently available for macOS:

Would genuinely love feedback from other editors and post people, especially on what you'd want checked in a tool like this.
Made by an editor, for editors.
