Embed meta data in QTfiles !

If I have a QTfile with metadata already included in the file will FCSvr read it and store it. If not what can I do to have it do that. This would be a time saver if I didn't have to re write all those things 3 times everytime.

(I think there was a glitch and my post wasn't posted...I will try again! Sorry if it shows up twice!)
In FCSVR 1.1.1 update there is now a FCP Log and Transfer Metadata Group (as well as RED group, P2 group, Sony XDCAM HD group, Apple Loops, and Photo Info - EXIF group, yay!) so you don't need to manually map those fields anymore. In the FCP Log and Transfer new group it includes the following fields: Reel, Scene, Shot, Angle, Log Note, Good, Clip ID)... So if you add this information in that L&T window, this information will now show up if you add this Group to whatever metadata set your media is using (probably "Media"?). If you already had these clips with this information in FCSVR catalogue prior to 1.1.1 you can just re-analyze and that info will pop up now.
Since Log and Capture metadata isn't embedded on the QT file itself, but just on the element within the FCP project file, it wouldn't make sense to map that metadata to the actual asset. If you are using that asset in more than 1 FCP project, and your assistant editor applied different metadata to each element (yet the same asset) then that would conflict.
"Subquestion", I saw you posted on another forum, you can search by Reel via Log and Capture and just make a Smart Search if that helps? In the Asset Advanced Search tab, just toggle the Metadata Filtering lookup to be "Include Log & Capture Metadata" and then search for your reel name and it should pop up. You can do the same in the Element's Search tab too (just in the regular search, you don't have to expand the advanced one).

  • Does Pr embed any meta data into the finished (exported) files?

    I'm worried that it embeds my name, username or something like that into the finished movie files intended for distribution/playback. Is this the case?
    If not, does it embed any kind of meta data? Perhaps that it was made with Premiere? Photoshop seems to add that to every file.

    Many formats do not support MetaData, so depending on your chosen format, it is probably not even possible. Then, even where it is, such as WMV's and DRM, PrPro will not do that without direct input from you, and might not even be able to do that, if you wished.
    Good luck,

  • Store meta data ?

    Hi,
    I have illustrator CS4.
    I want to save some meta data along with the file. The file -> file info option adds a bunch of bloated information I do not need.
    I'd like instead to simply store a few strings to the output file. How can we do this? It seems there's some product called Adobe Bridge which lets you make custom meta data templates, but all downloads I find for it fail. That at least looked promising. Also in the file -> file info option, I tried removing nodes in the advanced tab, hoping that would clean up the output meta data, but the exporter seems to ignore this and embed all the useless information anyway,
    Thanks

    Are you sure of that, I could be wrong but why did nit not install with the OP's install of Illustrator?
    I do not believe the Bridge comes with the standalone and is not downloadable, that is for sale.
    Oh I see what you are saying, perhaps it would work with the standalone but it simply does not come with the standalone and is not sold separately.
    So I do not know how one would legally acquire it. I guess a feature request for the standalone to be able to purchase it would be good.
    Actually I think Adobe would be wise to include it with the standalone and that might encourage users of a standalone to want to have a more integrated work flow. Lot's of people don't use the Bridge and do not realize the benefits of using it.

  • How to Create .m4v Meta Data ?

    I am having difficulty with retaining meta-data in .m4v files that I create.
    The issue revolves around the .m4v file format, which can be produced using source DV data with applications such as Quicktime, iMovie, etc.
    iTunes gives the user the ability to import .m4v files into iTunes and offers a way of customizing the metadata which then iTunes uses to sort and categorize as either TV Shows or Movies.
    By default, iTunes assigns all imported .m4v files to the Movie category. I attempted to change the categorization to "TV Show", and added additional meta-data, but for some reason this meta-data doesn't seem to be stored as an integral part of the file, but somewhere else.
    The problem is when I move the data from one machine to another, say for a server upgrade, or a client upgrade. The meta data appears to be lost.
    I would like the ability to retain the meta data that has been entered either by retaining the files that contain the meta data, or by knowing how to embed the meta data into the file itself.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I'd recommend using Lostify ( http://lostify.com/about/ ) to tag your files. This is done with the actual file and not in itunes so it should be transportable. I wouldn't worry about it's automatic tagging as you can do this manually.
    Kind regards

  • Basic XMP Meta-data builder

    Hey all,
    I am not a programmer and though I have been using Adobe Photoshop since 1988, I have never really gotten into the meta-data side of things until this latest project.
    I remember once that I used Photoshop's XMP metadata features to create a simple template in which I could enter custom meta-data about my image. It was perfect for what I am doing now.
    But now, in CS5, I have started to question whether I have just gotten too old (at 42) to handle this or whether it has been so bloated out of proportion in complexity that I just don't have the patience to figure it out.
    I need to record some basic information about some paintings that I have taken photos of and I have the information in a sql database, but it would be nicer to embed the information in the image.
    If I could embed this information in my images, it would be great:
    Painting Data: (information about the material photographed not the photograph)
    naming
    title (formal)
    title (informal)
    subtitle
    version
    series
    title
    name
    number
    materials
    descr
    colors
    background
    dimensions
    width
    height
    hw ratio
    orientation
    date
    Image Data   (refers to information about the actual file and how it is used)
    filename
    filepath
    sizing type
    source file name
    source file path
    source pixel ratio
    width pixels
    height pixels
    ppi
    uses
    Copyright info
    But I was hoping to do this without having to learn C++, install Eclipse or piece together bits and pieces from other XMP profiles. Is there any possible way to convert a simple data set like this into xmp metadata?
    It seems like there should be a web-app that does it.
    Anyways, I'm looking at other sources now, but I would love to know if Adobe is equipped to handle this sort of thing or should I look elsewhere. Thanks as always for your support and/or input.

    A) The free panels for VRA might meet your requirements. There is a 
    portion for the (art)work pictured, a portion for the image, and a 
    portion referencing the collection.
    This is an "essential" subset of the VRA Core 4.0 (XML) metadata

    How i know the jdbc driver not compatible to this
    mechanismBy reading the documentation tthat comes with your driver. Recent versions of the MySQL JDBC driver do support the getExportedKeys/ImportegKeys methods but the table needs to be crated as InnoDB.
    So run the SQL command
    show table statusWhats under the Type column for your table? If it isn't InnoDB then this isn't going to work.
    If it is InnoDB but getExportedKeys/ImportegKeys still don't work then you haven't used the "foreign key" constraint in your "create table" command

  • Moving LR5 catalog (Irdata & Ircat) to a new hard drive and photos. Lost all meta data - How do I move meta data along with catalog?

    I moved LR5 catalog (Irdata & Ircat) to a new hard drive and photos. Lost all meta data - How do I move meta data along with catalog?
    The meta data for each image is missing.
    I have over 2,000 images. I don't want to go back through each image and add meta data.
    Is there some way to move everything?

    No, do not re-import your images. I assume you can see the thumbnails in the library module, just cannot access the full images, right? If this is the case there should be an exclamation mark in the top right corner of every one of your pictures and you only have to tell LR where the images are now.
    Click the exclamation mark of one of the images and a dialog window should pop-up, telling you that LR cannot find the file, but with an option to locate it. Press "Locate" and navigate to the folder on your new HD where the file is. If in the new external HD you kept the same folder structure that you had on the internal disk, LR will be able to find all your images and re-link them to the database without further intervention.

    Sandeep

    You really aren't supposed to read the properties of active UI elements directly.  Instead they should be bound to context attributes and then you read these attributes via normal context APIs.  If you absolutely needed such access because this is a standard SAP WD, then consider that the WDDOMODIFYVIEW is the only part of th event loop where you are allowed access to the View and its UI elements.

  • How can i get the meta data from database?

    Hi, all java and db experts,
    I need to write a tool to generate java file which will be used to hold the resultset of a stored procedure of Oracle. Is there any API call or tools to connect to db and then get the meta data of the return cursor instead of reading stored procedure definition on my own?
    Please help, thanks a lot.
    Hanna

    if i execute a Oracle stored procedure, the resultset of a cursor is returned. It's easy to know the meta data at the runtime.
    However, could i get the meta data about the resultset of a cursor before runtime? Such as by connecting to the database and ask it about meta data of a specified stored procedure?
    Is it feasible?
    DatabaseMetaData dbmd = conn.getMetaData();
    ResultSet rs = dbmd.getProcedureColumns("", "%", "SP_NAME", "%");
    while (rs.next()) {
    String colName = rs.getString(4);
    int colType = rs.getInt(5);
    int colDataType = rs.getInt(6);
    int colPrecision = rs.getInt(8);
    int colLen = rs.getInt(9);
    int colScale = rs.getInt(10);
    long defaultValue = rs.getLong(11);
    But what i get is a list of stored procedure parameters. In oracle, cursor is IN OUT parameter . How can i get the meta data about the resultset of cursor?

  • How to extract meta data of documents from SAP R/3

    dear all,
    i`am working in aproject where we connect the documents for SAP R/3 applications.we maintain our own repository for that purpose.it may be in bound or out bound according to customer needs.the meata data related to the documents is stored in SAP.our requirement now is to have that metadata available in our repository .can any one guide me how to write ABAP code for extracting meata data from SAP and enable even nonSAP users to have the access for the documents.
    thanks in advance
    ravi

    Hi,
    One way to do this is probably set a connection between SAP Database and an external database and store the meta data into external database from where a non-sap user will have an eccess to the data.
    Steps required are :
    1. we have to involve basis team also in that.
    2. they will make one entry
    in DBCON table
    (that entry will point to secondary database/external database)
    (suppose the name of this secondary connection is HRCON)
    3. Also they will make connection string
    in application server.
    4. After that,
    we should have
    the table definition in SAP dd dictionary
    and also
    the same defintion
    in the external database. 
    5. now in abap code,
    we have to use like this.
    DATA: mydbcon(30) TYPE c.
    mydbcon = 'HRCON'.
    INSERT ydev_msg_cur CONNECTION (mydbcon)
    FROM msg_cur .

  • Images (w/correct meta data) are in catalog and on disk, but LR 5.7 considers them new on Import

    For reasons explained below, I want to try to re-import all my images into LR and hope that none/few are in fact considered new and are imported.  Yet, for some folders, LR is apparently unable to detect that my source images are already in the catalog, and are on disk, and that the source file meta data matches what LR knows about the images.  When I click an image in LR and Show in Finder, I do see the imported image on disk.  I can edit the image in the Develop module.  So, it seems good, but all is not well.   Sorry for the long post here, but I wanted to provide as much info as I could, as I am really seeking your help, which I'd very much appreciate.
    Here are some screen shots that illustrate the problem:
    Finder contents of the original images
    LR folder hierarchy
    an image as seen in LR
    Finder content of external LR copy of images
    import showing 10 "new" photos
    The original images ... (I'm not sure why the file date is April 2001 but the actual image date is January 2011; I may have just used the wrong date on the folder name?)
    The LR folder hierarchy ...
    An image as seen in LR ...
    The external folder containing the images in the LR library
    But on import of the original source folder, LR sees 10 "new" photos ...
    I tried "Synchronize Folder ..." on this particular folder, and it simply hangs half-way through as seen in the screen shot below.   IS THIS AN LR BUG?   This is really odd, since "Synchronize Folder ..." on the top-level folder completes quickly.
    I have a spreadsheet of of the EXIF data for the original files and those created by LR.  (I extracted this info using the excellent and free pyExifToolGui graphical frontend for the command line tool ExifTool by Phil Harvey.)   Almost all of the Exif data is the same, but LR has added some additional info to the files after import, including (of course) keywords.  However, I would not have expected the differences I found to enter into the duplicate detection scheme.  (I didn't see a way to attach the spreadsheet to this posting as it's not an "image".)
    I'm running LR 5.7 on a 27" iMac with Yosemite 10.10.2, having used LR since LR2.  I have all my original images (.JPEGs and RAWs of various flavors) on my internal drive on the Mac.   To me this is like saving all my memory cards and never re-using them.   Fortunately, these files are backed up several ways.   I import these images (copying RAWs as DNG) into LR with a renaming scheme that includes the import number, original file creation date and original file name.   There should be one LR folder for each original source file folder, with the identical folder name (usually a place and date).  I store the LR catalog and imported images on an external drive.  Amazingly and unfortunately my external drive failed as did it's twin, same make/size drive that I used as a backup with Carbon Copy Cloner.   I used Data Rescue 4 to recover to a new disk what I thought was almost all of the files on the external drive.
    So, I thought all would be well, but, when I tried "Synchronize Folder" using the top-level folder of my catalog, the dialog box appeared saying there were over 1000 "New" photos that had not been imported.  This made be suspicious that I had failed to recover everything.   But actually things are much worse than I thought..   I have these counts of images:
    80,0061 files in 217 folders for my original source files (some of these may be (temporary?) copies that I actually don't want to import into LR)
    51,780 files in 187 folders on my external drive containing the LR photo library
    49,254 images in the top-level folder in the LR catalog (why different from the external file count?)
    35,332 images found during import of the top-level folder containing original images
    22,560 images found as "new" by LR during import
    1,074 "new" images reported by Synchronize Folder ... on the top-level folder in the catalog; different from import count
    Clearly things are badly out of sync.   I'd like to be sure I have all my images in LR, but none duplicated.   Thus, I want to try to import the entire library and have LR tell me which photos are new.  I have over 200 folders in LR.  I am now proceeding to try importing each folder, one at a time, to try to reconcile the differences and import the truly missing images.  This will be painful.  And it may not be enough to fully resolve the above discrepancies.
    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?  I'd really appreciate your help!
    Ken

    Thanks for being on the case, dj!   As you'll see below, YOU WERE RIGHT!      But I am confused.
        1. Does the same problem exist if you try to import (not synchronize) from that folder? In other words, does import improperly think these are not duplic
    YES.  Import improperly thinks they are NOT duplicates, but they are in fact the same image (but apparently not the EXACT SAME bytes on disk!)
        2. According to the documentation, a photo is considered a duplicate "if it has the same, original filename; the same Exif capture date and time; and the same file size."
    This is my understanding too.
        3. Can you manually confirm that, for an example photo, that by examining the photo in Lightroom and the photo you are trying to synchronize/import, that these three items are identical?
    NO, I CAN'T!  The ORIGINAL file name (in the source folder) is the SAME as it was when I first imported that folder.  That name is used as part of the renaming process using a custom template. However, the file SIZES are different.    Here is the Finder Get Info for both files.  Initially, they appeared to be the same SIZE, 253KB, looking at the summary. But, if you look at the exact byte count, however, the file sizes are DIFFERENT: 252,632 for the original file and 2252,883 for the already-imported file:
    This difference alone is enough to indicate why LR does not consider the file a duplicate.
    Furthermore, there IS one small difference in the EXIF data regarding dates ... the DateTimeOriginal:
                                                                                                     CreateDate              DateTimeDigitized                    DateTimeOriginal              FileModifyDate                              ModifyDate
    ORIGINAL name: P5110178.JPG                                     2001:05:11 15:27:18    2001:05:11 15:27:18-07:00        2001:01:17 11:29:00        2011:01:17 11:29:00-07:00       2005:04:24 14:41:05  
    After LR rename:  KRJ_0002_010511_P5110178.JPG    2001:05:11 15:27:18    2001:05:11 15:27:18-07:00        2001:05:11 15:27:18        2011:01:17 11:29:02-07:00       2005:04:24 14:41:05
    So ... now I see TWO reasons why LR doesn't consider these duplicates.   Though the file NAME is the same (as original), the file sizes ARE slightly different.  The EXIF "DateTimeOriginal" is DIFFERENT.   Therefore, LR considers them NOT duplicates.
         4a. With regards to the screen captures of your images and operating system folder, I do not see that the filename is the same; I see the file names are different. Is that because you renamed the photos in Lightroom (either during import or afterwards)?
    I renamed the file on import using a custom template ...
            4b. Can you show a screen capture of this image that shows the original file name in the Lightroom metadata panel (it appears when the dropdown is set to EXIF and IPTC)?
    SO ....
    The METADATA shown by LR does NOT include the ORIGINAL file name (but I think I have seen it displayed for other files?).  The File SIZE in the LR metadata panel (246.96 KB) is different from what Finder reports (254 KB).  There are three "date" fields in the LR metadata, and five that I've extracted from the EXIF data.   I'm not sure which EXIF date corresponds to the "Data Time" shown in the LR metadata.
    I don't understand how these differences arose.   I did not touch the original file outside LR.   LR is the only program that touches the file it has copied to my external drive during import.  (though it was RECOVERED from a failed disk by Data Rescue 4),
    NOW ...
    I understand WHY LR considers the files different (but not how they came to be so).  The question now is WHAT DO I DO ABOUT IT?   Is there any tool I can use to adjust the original (or imported) file's SIZE and EXIF data to match the file LR has?  Any way to override or change how LR does duplicate detection?
    Thanks so very much, dj.   Any ideas on how to get LR to ignore these (minor) differences would be hugely helpful.

    Aside from every other problem with how Bridge lets the user display, sort and interact with meta data (aside from the actual metadata palette), it would be way more useful to have the Dimension meta data displayed under an image shown in 'real world' dimensions.
    For example: I'm looking at my 'final images' that have been converted to CMYK, and sized for delivery. At this point Pixel Dimensions are pretty useless. What I really want to do is quickly scan my images, seeing Inches (or CM) with a PPI. My clients never ask for pixel dimensions (unless we are talking about the web, which we aren't) - they ask for 8.76" x 5.34" at 266ppi. It would just be nice to use bridge to double check the image sizes before delivery.

    Thanks for you feedback. You wish has been granted (dimensions can now be displayed in pixels, inches or centimeters. Go to Preferences > Thumbnails to select which dimension to display below the thumbnail, or Preferences > Metadata to customize the metadata pane).

  • Can No Longer Edit Song Meta Data In Latest iTunes 11.1???

    I just discovered that since the update to version 11.1 I can no longer manually edit the meta data by using the Show info function, all options are greyed out. For instance I can no longer adjust the volume level on a song nor can I edit the fields for song title and artist tec. There is also no longer any tab for album art when using the Show Info function on a song that has no album cover art. On songs that already have an album cover there will be an album art tab but the options there are all greyed out so I can not change the album cover art if I wanted too. This really *****, I can no longer edit album cover art for songs that have another cover already and I can not add any cover picture at all for songs that have no cover art (unless I manage to get the cover from the iTunes store but that is very often not successfull).
    Another bug I found is that I can no longer add any video file to my playlists.
    So this new update really ***** for me and have ruined my itunes experience.
    Do anyone else in here have the same problem?
    I really hope Apple will fix these bugs as soon as possible!

    I think I finally found a solution to this problem. It appears that for some reason, some songs you download will maintain write protection that the original owner had set on his/hers computer. In my case for this Ellie Goulding album that I had problem with, it turned out my friend who gave it to me had some of the songs stored on his iPad and that caused the files to become write protected it seems, and this write protection was transfered over to my PC. To solve this issue, everytime you encounter a song in iTunes that you can not edit just right click it and select Show/View In Explorer, that will take you to the storage location of the file in question. Now right click the song and select Properties and see if it is write protected, if it is then just uncheck that option and click ok. Now you should be able to edit the meta data for that song again. So it appears this is not a bug in iTunes but rather a write protection issue.
