Does FCPX write metadata back onto media files?

Does FCPX write metadata back onto media files? Compaired to Premiere or Prelude which does.
If so, are keywords and roles considered metadata that is written into the media?
Thank you in advance,
DKG

I beg to differ.
I have *my* media, that is stored in *my* hard drive, and may linked at by different projects and events, I don't want any software to go behind my back and change it. Metadata is just about as important as data, and clips are different, and *separate* from media files. It's fine that FCP X attaches and makes great use of metadata for clips, it's wrong if it messes with metadata in the media files.

  • I get an alert that says I have no write access for itunes media file

    I get an alert that says I have no write access for itunes media file. What should I do?

    Downloaded it (Firefox Setup 35.0.1) but still have the same problem. I double clicked and right clicked and "Ran as Administrator" but still had the same result. The setup file description shows "7z Setup SFX" so I suspect that is why the popup title is 7-Zip. It tries to extract but at about 80% is when I get the popup.

  • PSE 8 Not Backing Up Media Files

    I have PS Elements 8 (Windows 7 - 64 bit) with 9000 photos cataloged.  It's all fabulous EXCEPT when I do a backup (File->Backup Catalog to CD...) the backup ONLY contains the Catalog files, not the media files.  So the backup of my 27 GB of photos is only 200 MB.
    My media files and my catalog files are both on the D: drive (2nd internal HD)... the Program files and Windows are installed on C:. I've tried Reconnecting (all files are connected) and Repairing the catalog (no problems found).  The backup runs just fine with no errors, it's just WAY too small.
    I've tried backing up to the C: drive, the D: drive, and to DVDs all with the exact same result.
    I've done a simple copy/paste of my entire folder to an external disk, so I DO have things backed up.  But I'd like to use the built-in feature so I can transfer the whole enchilada to my laptop without losing the links (laptop doesn't have a D: drive).
    Anybody have any ideas why PSE refuses to backup my media?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I've been working every which way around trying to get this to work, and it just won't.  Your suggestion ("Method 4") kind of works.  But after screwing around with it the best I could get was "most" of the files reconnected with a lot of them reset to today's date for some inexplicable reason.
    The resetting of the date is yet another bug.  The Reconnect command re-reads the metadata from the file, overwriting whatever is in th catalog.  If for some reason the date in the file doesn't match what's in the catalog, the date in the file wins.  And if the file is a format that doesn't support "date taken" metadata (or a format whose metadata PSE doesn't understand, such as PNG or video), then PSE will use the date-modified of the file.
    But then why doesn't the "Repair" function work?  When I "Optimize" a damaged catalog why doesn't it throw an error message?
    Repair and Optimize only perform a very limited set of low-level database operations -- they can't fix basic bugs in the program.
    And how in the world does it allow me to run a "backup" without either actually backing up the files OR giving me an error message?  That's REALLY bad.  A feller would be pretty disappointed to try to run a Restore from that if he hadn't noticed the file size.
    Yup, it's a bad bug.  For a number of reasons, I recommend that people with large catalogs use a general-purpose third-party backup:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Backing_up_your
    And why DOES it think my D: drive is a removable disk?  Neither my system BIOS nor Windows shows it as "removable".  I've searched the Registry trying to find a spot to reset that for PSE without luck.  There should be a way to correct that (actually PSE just shouldn't make that mistake to start with, of course).
    I believe the problem is caused by Windows, at some point in time, reporting to PSE that the drive as "removable".  PSE just records in the catalog what Windows tells it.  However, if later on Windows reports a different type (e.g. because you've upgraded to a new version of Windows), then PSE won't update the catalog.  In general, PSE's handling of multiple drives is abysmal, but some of that comes from the Windows legacy drive architecture, which is also a mess.
    The only way to fix this is to get a low-level tool that can open the database file, e.g. SQLite Database Browser, and make the change.
    I'm anxiously awaiting version 8.1.
    Adobe almost never ships updates to an existing version of PSE.  You have to buy the next version (e.g. 9), which ships each fall.

  • Does Captivate include metadata on imported mov. files

    I made a small video in Quicktime and added it to a Cpt8 slide. It said it would convert to flash, and it did. Now I see that metadata is required. Does Captivate automatically add the metadata when it converts?

    Hi there,
    While converting .mov to ..flv Captivate takes help from another application that comes with it called Adobe Media Encoder.
    I am not sure whether the metadata is passed while conversion.
    But when you will publish the final output as .swf or HTML 5, under the exported folder you'll be able to find that .flv or .mp4 (in case of HTML 5, it will again convert that .flv to MP4).
    Can you check that .flv  or MP4 file in the exported folder, check the info of that video if it still has the Meta Data?
    Thanks.

  • HELP! Serious problem: Time Machine does note seem to back up newer files

    I have a serious Time Machine issue. I noticed that after the initial backup of about 110gb, it seems to stopped backing up recently added files. Like for example, I downloaded a file into my Desktop at 6 hours ago and the file is still there right now but when I go to Time Machine, the file is not in any previous hourly back ups even though some if them were taken after I added the files.
    I also tried ripping a DVD and placed the file into my Movies folder, but the same thing happen. I tried "Back Up Now" to see if the files will be added, but the 700mb file does not get copied. I watched the system preferences and it only copied 5mb of file. Why is this happening?
    Also, my when I first started Time Machine backups a few hours ago, my Documents folder has 34 files in it. It now has 48 files with files being added regualrly during the next few hours but when I looked at ALL the hourly backups, they are still showing that I have 34 files!!!
    Please help. I have a 500gb External Hard drive that I formatted using GUID partition scheme. It does have a SuperDuper ackup of it of my Tiger. Do I have to reformat the drive and have Time Machine start on a completely new drive?
    Thansk a lot!

    I have been having the same problem for some time now and only noticed it when I tried to recover a file only to find it had not been backed up. Brief details
    * The initial backup (apprx 105GB) completes ok - I have checked this
    * Subsequent new files are not added to the backup. I have checked this both via the Time Machine application and manually searching through the backup drive. I have also tried this with different types of files; mp4, xls, doc, text, email messages in mail etc. none get backed up. I have also tried amending an existing file but the amended file is not backed up
    * Nevertheless the console log shows that the hourly back ups are being completed with no apparent problems
    * I do not have any exclusions selected in Time Machine preferences
    * I have not been able to replicate this consistently but occasionally after a reboot I get this console log message
    12/26/07 8:23:36 PM /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd693 Event store UUIDs don't match for volume Macintosh HD II
    12/26/07 8:23:37 PM /System/Library/CoreServices/backupd693 Node requires deep traversal:/ reason:kFSEDBEventFlagMustScanSubDirs|kFSEDBEventFlagReasonEventDBUntrustable|
    HD II is my backup drive. Time Machine then appears to start a more extensive backup. I do not think it is a full backup as it takes no more than 10minutes. Once this finishes the backup then looks accurate with all files present. However the error then re-occurs and no new files are added to the backup
    * I have spoken to Apple Care but no idea
    * I have tried all of the following in no particular order; repair permissions; reformat the backup drive; delete .plist file; reset NVRAM; alternative drive; force a rebuild of the spotlight database; my host name does not include any odd characters etc etc
    All very tedious...any insight greatly appreciated

  • Keep video metadata after exporting MOV files

    Hello !
    I use LR5 to manage RAW/JPG/MOV files from events where I have taken pictures from. Most of the MOV files do either come from my Canon Camera or from my iPhone.
    I regular export the files in a reduced file back to my iPad or iPhone for "public" viewing. Unfortunately LR5 is loosing all metadata from my videos, especially creating date/time and GPS tags.
    Is there any way to include metadata in exported (and compressed) video files ? It works in photo's very well.
    If not, do you know any other program which can compress original video files from my iPhone and keep the metadata ?
    Thanks

    Cragen,
    A very Good Day!
    Lightroom does not read metadata from the video files till the version 5.3.
    However, the functionality may came as a feature in the coming version of  Lightroom!
    If the same is not visible in Lightroom make sure the files are copied to the system and then check the same in Lightroom

  • How do I view hidden media files on iPad Air?

    I recorded some interviews on a third-party app (Voice Recorder Pro) that I need to edit. I tried email the file to myself  from the app so I could access the .m4a file, but I got an error saying I need to download it from iTunes.  I cannot figure out how to get the file into iTunes. The setup icon in the app only has two icons: change color and contact us. I've sent a couple of emails and have gotten no response. Their website is a single page in Italian so no help there.
    I even downloaded a third party app on my PC called iExplorer which is supposed to backup files such as text messages to my PC. I have a Mac Air at the office that I synced my iPad to trying to get the files imported into iTunes so I can access these .m4a files and I keep hitting a brick wall.
    I'm desperate. The only thing visible in either Explore or Finder are the photos. As soon as I can figure out where these .m4a files are hidden so I can copy them to my laptop I am deleting that app, but right now I'm at my wit's end.
    Does anyone know how to see media files created in an app?  Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

    My win8 pc hard drive failed.  After the hard drive was replaced, I copied iTunes Media backupfiles from external hard drive (Karen's Replicator backup software was used).  ITunes does not recognize these back up files even though the location is the same as cloud & recently burned music that does show- help!  The backup files consist of 34,000+ songs; almost all burned from my own CD collection.  I do have most of the songs on an ipod classic but hesitate to try to restore from that.  Can someone tell me how to get these 34,000 songs to show up in iTunes?  Thanks!!

    This diagram shows how a typical iTunes library ought to be set out (click on it to enlarge)
    The red outline highlights the media folder and its contents, the various subfolders are only created if that kind of content is in your library. The right-hand side shows the files that should be found in the iTunes library folder; sentinel is normally hidden so may not be visible. The core of your iTunes library is the file iTunes Library.itl, you need to restore this, the other library files and the Album Artwork folder, as well as the media folder, to restore your library.

  • My old computer crashed and deleted my iTunes media file with all my playlist. However, my iPod has the playlist I lost on the computer. How can I replace (reverse synch?) my iPod media information back onto my (now reinstalled) virgin iTunes media folder

    My old computer crashed and deleted my iTunes media file with all my playlist.However, my iPod has the playlist I lost on the computer. How can I replace (reverse synch?) my iPod media information back onto my (now reinstalled) virgin iTunes media folder?

    Yes it's possible to sync music back from a iPod back into iTunes that (I assume) wasn't purchased on the iTunes Store.
    Apple allows iTunes Store purchases on devices to be reversed back into iTunes, just not cd rips and stuff like that. For that it's a one way trip to the device from iTunes.
    I likely can't suggest such software here, but if you visit iLounge you can ask what is the latest software that works for your platform.
    Really it only takes a mere few minutes to backup your iTunes Library and stick in a few cd/dvd's or a external drive. iTunes even has a menu command for it to make it oh so simple. Please use it and backup all your data.
    Hard drives fail, computers burn up, thieves steal, stuff gets forgotten. Plan for something happening because it will.
    Good Luck

  • We transferred purchases / synced an iPod touch to a toshiba laptop, and then updated the ipod. we can no longer put the files back onto the ipod. what are we doing wrong]

    we transferred purchases and synced from a iPod touch to a toshiba laptop, after it updated and synced again we have been unable to put the files back onto the ipod. the computer will not let us drag or copy paste files, and when we tried to " export" the library to the documents folder, it only showed up in code.  we have books and music we would like to reload to the ipod.

    Hello Jean164,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you are unable to manually put your content back on your iPod Touch.
    It seems like you may need to re enable Manually Manage Music now that the device has been updated, and this article should help with that.

  • I recently lost my windows laptop due to a virus. I had backed up all files onto a drive(files only). However no itunes playlists. i have all my playlists on my iphone and pics etc however when im trying to sync to my new computer itunes deletes all data

    I recently lost my windows laptop due to a virus. I had backed up all files onto a drive(files only). However no itunes playlists. i have all my playlists on my iphone and pics etc however when im trying to sync to my new computer itunes wants to  deletes all data off of my iphone so i click cancel
    i want to update to iOS 5 and still have itunes be able to copy my playlists from my iphone. for free. why does apple provide a recovery from iphone option?

    If you have a backup, restore the ENTIRE iTunes folder to the computer.  This restores the library and device association files.  If for some reason you chose to only back up the media and not the entire iTunes folder, then the only option is to let iTunes wipe the drive and re-sync.

  • Is the prores file that FCPx creates when importing c300 .mxf files stable/quality enough to then copy to other drives for further use? Are there any quality disadvantages to doing that?

    Im wondering if I can directly copy the prores files fcpx creates when importing c300 .mxf files from the "original media" folder, reimport them for another project to and use them that way. Is there any problem with working that way? I'm doing this bc I want to have an organize finder structure for a client but cant break the c300 card structure to split clips on a card into different "scenes" to make it easier for them to understand what they're looking at. This is all to stay NLE nuetral--we like fcpx but they might want to edit somewhere else and more details in the finder level seems like the best solution? Suggestions on any of that? Thanks.

    Thanks for your response. Are you sure that FCPx is working with .mxf/c300 natively? I thought it was just a background sort of repackaging or transcode into prores that it does without you having a choice? And bc of that, for me, it's sort of a "back end" feeling file: I'm curious if it's bad to get into the package contents folder to copy it over? Not about copying prores in general-- specifically, is the prores created of c300 footage in fcpx more of a fcpx, high quality alias file? Maybe I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable grabbing things from the inside/finder level of fcpx.

    2 proposals, that JMF isn't usable to o read metadata. Instead of JMF you can use JavaAudio (see the 2. link)
    there's a list of [missing features in JMF|http://blog.theunical.com/category/java/jmf/]
    +"So… what’s the problem? Here are a few:+
    +* JMF has no editing API, nor any meaningful concept of media in a stopped state. That means it can’t be used for building, say, a podcast editor (can’t trim your clips), or iTunes (no metadata API for reading the track titles). Aside: what’s the point of a capture API if there’s no way to edit the captured data (apparently, the capture is only useful for streaming applications)."+
    [another blog |http://fredeaker.blogspot.com/2007/01/file-type-metadata-discovery-part-1.html] write it more specific:
    +"What about other Java media libraries?+
    +According to Sun, the Java Media Framework (JMF) "can capture, playback, stream, and transcode multiple media formats." In comparing the JMF to Java sound, we find that the JMF does have more codecs, however the ability to capture audio specific metadata is limited. The focus of the JMF is not on metadata. At least from what I can tell. If anyone has found the case to be different, please let me know. The same goes with the FMJ and Enterprise Media Beans."+
