Changing Meta Data in Bridge CS4

I have Bridge CS4.
I imported about 800 photos from two cameras.
Unfortunately the date of one of the cameras was incorrect an so I cannot sort in true sequential date/time captured.
What I do have is a list of two halves. One half Camera 1 in sequence followed by Camera 2, in sequence.
I need to mesh the images in actual/correct time captured in an automated, non-manual way.
I selected File > File Info... > and put the correct date in the IPTC tab. Nothing changed, so I'm not sure how to complete the process.
Given the number of images that I require to re-date I would like to make a batch change to the date only....the time element is near enough.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Andrew

Thanks Curt
That's useful to know.
I believe the/a TP product is ShootShifter
Kind regards

Batch change creation date meta data in Bridge?

In Lightroom i can change the meta data on multiple files to be increased by say 2 minutes and all the creation times are adjusted. Can this be done in CS4 bridge???

In Bridge you can not change the date created. That is time stamped by camera when you take the picture.

Changing meta data of a photo

Is there a way to alter the meta data of a photo taken with my digital camera and imoorted into iPhoto?
I took photos whilst in Singapore but forgot to change the time on my camera to Singapore time, GMT+8hrs. I also took some photos on my phone camera, which did have the correct time. Consequently, when I imported photos from both devices, the chronological order is messed up. I need to change the time data of the digital camera files to correct the sequence.

In iPhoto select the photos with the incorrect date/time and go to the photos menu ==> change date and time
give it the correct information for the first photo and it will automatically correct all of them to the correct date and time
You can select modify original photo if that is what you want

Can I use ReadXML/WriteXML to change Meta Data Set Type?

Has anyone successfully changed which Meta Data Set an asset is using? In the XML description of the asset there's this entry:
<mdValue fieldName="Metadata Set" dataType="string">paassetmedia</mdValue>
but if I try to change it by using this XML statment it doesn't change:
<FinalCutServer>
<request reqId="setMd" entityId="/asset/4922">
<params>
<mdValue fieldName="Metadata Set" dataType="string">paassetshot</mdValue> </params>
</request>
</FinalCutServer>
I know the XML is working because I can change any mdValue besides the MetaData Set.
Ideas?

Nick is correct - the only way that you are going to be able to change the MD Set for a given asset is to duplicate it and to delete the original. I've had to do this a few times, using search expired + subscription + responses to do the trick.
Ideally you get the md set right when you first add the assets

Batch change does not change meta data name when exporting or copy

I use batch change to change the name of an event when photos from more than one source (camera) are imported. When I copy or export the photos the name reverts to the original meta data file. I do this to override duplicate names. For instance photos from two cameras taking pictures of the same event can have identical names such as IMG_0100. Iphoto does not show all the metadata on info but does show the change in the name when viewing info in iphoto.
Is there some way to permanently change the name on photos using a group or batch method?

No you're not changing any filenames at all.
There is no way to change a filename in iPhoto at all. What you with Batch Change is add a Title to the photo. A Title is an entry in the metadata.
You can set the name of an exported file to be the same as the title, when you export... if you choose that option.
This User Tip

has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

Import meta data file - bridge. Adding keywords to existing files

Hi There.
I have an excel log with file names in one column, keywords in another.
I have the same art files in bridge, sans any keywords.
Is it possible to import my excel log (or csv, or whatever format) into Bridge, and have it see those file names, and add the associated keywords to the files which have the same file name within Bridge?
Rather not have to keyword alllll the files again since I already have the data.

Can somebody new to Bridge CS3 and with no programming expertise import metadata into Bridge.
I have much data in a FileMaker Pro file.

Changing meta data when burning CD

I just burned a CD that had only song title, artist, time and year in the Playlist. When the CD mounted after burning, it had artist, album, genre and time. What happened? Are these defaults and if so, how can they be changed?

If it is audio ("regular") CD format then it won't carry metadata no matter what the source. If you are buring the AAC files or have mp3 files with tags then the data gets carried over.

Can I change Meta Data?

Hi, I have a photo that was taken by a friend, unfortunately she didn't have the correct date and time set on her camera and so therefore I am unable to have it filed away under the correct date in Aperture. Is there any way to edit the metadata in the photo?
Thanks
David Gatt

I automatically assumed that the image was already in Aperture...

When I change meta data, File name changes too

In iTunes 11.1.3 I have been modifying the Music file ID3 tags (or what ever they're called). I've found, though, that when I change the song name in the "Get Info" dialog box, it also changes the ACTUAL file name of the song.
For example.
I download a a CD and the CD information is downloaded. Then when I drag the newly created mp3 into iTunes and select "Get Info" to modify all of the information.
Once i hit Okay or Next. I watch the File name in Finder change as well.
How do I keep it from doing this?

Event Guy,
Glad it helped. (I also do not like iTunes to mess with the filenames.)
Enjoy the music!

Output panel Bridge CS4 is blank

In Bridge C4 the output panel is blank. No option to make contact sheets or a web galery.
I enabled the startup script for the output module, I have reset all the preferences (ctrl at startup fo Bridge) and I reset the standard workspace. I also reinstalled CS4. Updated etc. Nothing worked.
When I look in the folder startup scripts I see no file at all.
Can someone help me?

Try this. It's been reported as successfully solving this issue for a customer recently.
Manually reset preferences, purge the entire thumbnail cache and reset your default workspace:
Note: If you are unable to find the Application Data folder, enable Windows to show hidden files and folders. For instructions, see the documentation included with Windows.
Delete the entire contents of the Cache folder located at C:\Documents and Settings\ [user] \Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS4.
Delete the "!!Last.workspace" file located at C:\Documents and Settings\ [user] \Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS4\Workspaces.
Delete the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Bridge CS4\Preferences

Recovering Keywords Bridge CS4

My hard drive crashed and I've replaced it with a new one and upgraded the O/S to W7 from XP MCE at the same time. I've recovered my PSD's, JPEG's & camera raw (canon CR2) images from the old drive and when I started Bridge in the new install but most of my "custom" keywords don't appear in the keywords list nor do they seem to appear in the EXIF. Is there a way to recover this info from the old drive image? (it was the boot drive).

The keywords file under XP should be here: C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS4\Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml. You'll have to copy it to this folder for win7: c:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS4\
This file only contains the list of keywords from your Keywords panel, when you apply keywords to your files they are preserved in the metadata of the files themselves unless you're talking about raw files in which case they should be stored in a .XMP file

Applying meta data

When applying meta data using Bridge, is the meta data imbeded in the destination file?
If the file is viewed outside bridge is the meta data lost?

In a raw image all metadata is put on an xmp file. In other formats they are mostly considered written to file. DNG writes to image.
Not all programs read metadata, or read them partially.

Interpret XML meta data

Objective:
u2022     Get the Metadata from SAP BW system into XML file
u2022     Modify the data in XML file using .NET interface / re-engineering tool
u2022     Upload the modified data from XML file to target BW System (BI 7.0)
Requirement:
1.     Interprating the extracted Meta Data XML
2.     Create an Interface tool/ Re-engineering tool which should be able to extract the Meta data from Source BW Server (using RSO_REPOSITORY_EXCHANGE_XML)
3.      The interface tool should change the XML file based on some parameters or may be through manual change
4.     Changed Meta Data XML file should be imported to Target BW server automatically (using RSO_REPOSITORY_EXCHANGE_XML)

Hi Yuriy,
Web Dynpro components and applications are normal development objects. This means, you can transport them to any system using the change and transport system. There is no need to work with a separare xml representation.

Meta - data author information

hi guys...
when any user changes meta-data of content item.. no revision is created in database....
so we never come to know who changed the meta-data....
Is there any way in UCM through which we can get author information who changed the meta - data ??

Hi there.
You could query off the DOCUMENTHISTORY table to find out who last performed an action on a document (i.e. Checkin, Update, Delete, etc).
It contains the following column headers:
-dActionMillis
-dActionDate
-dID
-dRevClassID
-dUser
-dDocName
-dAction
-dSecurityGroup
Hope that helps.
