Extract metadata from selected files in bridge

I used to use extensis portfolio to quickly export metadata from selected files to create print worksheets. I could customize which metadata would be displayed.
For instance:
Thumbnail
title
pixels
file type
date created and modified
height and width
dpi
embedded icc profile
file location
iptc description
It was a quick drag and drop process, but portfolio is now only available in the server edition for over $1000. Does anyone have script for Mac OS that would accomplish this?
Thanks!

Hi Xiaojing,
Thank you for your answer. It is useful.
The problem is: My application is not going to play music or video, it just needs to browse over the disk and create a list of available music files including info like song name, album, artist. All this info is kept in meta-data. Some users can have a lot of music of their computers. That's why I don't want to load the whole file and wait for onMetaData event - it can take a long time. I just want to read the meta-data from the file, but not to load the all file as I need for listening the music of playing the movie.
I already applied extracting meta-data for MP3 files exactly the way you mentioned, it works fine. I only have to wait for Event.ID3 – I implemented Timer to wait until all my files are processed. Probably, if user has a lot of music on his computer, it will take a lot of time.
I can try to read AAC the way you advice.
I am really looking for implementation of your advice for reading the music file as a ByteArray and extracting meta-data. In this case we don't need to load all the file, but just to read part of it.
Do you have some code implementation?
Thank you again for your response,
Elena

  • Extract Metadata from Mp3 file

    Can anybody help me figure out how to read the metadata of an
    mp3 file? I can't find anything anywhere on how to do it. I am
    assuming it can easily be done by utilizing a Java Object but my
    java skills are very novice and I am struggling with trying to
    understand how to use the API in the first place....from what I can
    see there doesn't seem to be one that exists...I did find this
    class "javax.imageio.metadata.IIOMetadata"...not that I could make
    that work either. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Search for "CFXID3" in ColdFusion Exchange.
    Haven't tested it, though, and yes, I would be searching for
    mp3 Java libraries too, but if you're unfamiliar with Java, give
    that a try.

  • How do I bulk upload documents using PowerShell and extract metadata from file name?

    I have a requirement to upload a bunch of documents into a document library. Based on the content type, the rules of updating the metadata is different...the one giving me trouble is to extract the metadata from the file name. If I have a file name like
    "part1_part2_part3.pdf" how do I extract part1, part2, part3 and tag each document being uploaded into SharePoint, using PowerShell? I have searched and have not been able to find anything to get me started.
    Has anyone done this before? Or is there a blog I can take a look at? Thanks
     

    You will have to write a PS script encompassing this logic.
    Read files from the folder using
    Get-Item cmdlet
    Determine the content type based on the path or filename.
    Split the file name to extract the tag names.
    If the metadata fields in the content type is a managed metadata field, check whether the term exists and set it.

  • How can I extract metadata from file names?

    If I want to extract metadata from file names? How can I do that? I want to read through the file names and when I get to a certain character ("-"), I can take the string just before that character and store it in a column in SharePoint. Is this
    do-able through scripting?

    You should be able to leverage the split method.
    In PowerShell It would look like:
    # Gather the file name
    $file = "myawesome_filename-Month-Day-Year-Ect.doc"
    #split the file name by the "-" character
    $file = $file.split("-")
    # Use a foreach Loop to gather the individual items.
    foreach ($item in $file) {
    write-host $item
    #Outputmyawesome_filename
    Month
    Day
    Year
    Ect.doc
    # If you want to only grab the first item, you can do $file[0] <-- powershell starts counting with zero base.
    $file[0]
    #output
    myawesome_filename

  • Extract Metadata from Final Cut Pro Project files...

    We're currently scanning our project directory (running great by the way), but I'm curious - Is there a way for Final Cut Server to extract metadata from the XML. Timecode info, titling, descriptions, etc and tag that info to the final cut project within FC Server?
    That would be great!
    Ryan

    Hello!
    I was just told by Apple (several hours ago), that it's a bug which happens on some Final Cut Servers. They said that the engineering team is looking into it.
    The tech guy had me open the project in Final Cut (directly, not with FC Server involvement), then go up to File, Export, Export as XML. Then, he had me look within Final Cut Server and then it would let me checkin/out, etc. He said that it's a bug they're working on.
    I hope it gets fixed soon! I need it fixed in order to do what we plan on doing.

  • How to run script on selected files in Bridge

    I have a script that takes an open Photoshop document and saves it to four different resolutions in different folders. I'd like to be able to select files in Bridge and run the script on the selected files instead of having to do it each image individually in PS. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks!
    Eric

    MarkWalsh wrote:
    A fairly easy way, you can add your script to the 'Scripts' menu, then create an action that calls this script (use 'Insert Menu Item' to add to your action) and call this action through a batch in Bridge. One issue with this, though, is that it does require creating an action to specifically call the script, I don't know if you can call the script directly from Bridge.
    I haven't scripted Bridge at all myself, but I believe you should also be able to rewrite your script to get the selection in Bridge, and process those files in Photoshop.
    If your script is set up to process one file at a time, the Bridge/Batch technique is the simplest way to do it.
    If your script needs to know what all of the files are before it can begin processing, you have to add a Menu element in Bridge and have it call your action/script in Photoshop. A bit more complicated, but there are a lot of examples of this at ps-scripts.com.

  • Possible to run a photoshop script by selecting files in Bridge?

    Hi,
    I have a good script I've written that I always used to run from Photoshop. The script has a dialog box which asks where to get the files from. Is it possible to select files in bridge and run the script from there? Without rewriting it for Bridge?
    Thanks,
    Stan

    > I have a good script I've written that I always used to run from Photoshop. The script has a dialog box which asks where to get the files from. Is it possible to select files in bridge and run the script from there? Without rewriting it for Bridge?
    Yes, this is possible. However, a much easier solution is to select the files in
    Bridge then switch to PS manually to run your script. It avoids having to having
    to write any code to run in Bridge at the cost of not having seamless integration.
    In xtools/xlib/XBridgeTalk.jsx I have a set of functions that simplify working
    with Bridge from within PS. For instance:
    var files = XBridgeTalk.getBridgeSelection();
    will return an array of Files that are currently selected in Bridge. If Bridge
    isn't running or if no files are selected it returns an empty array.

  • Metadata from excel file

    does anybody now how can we get metadata from excel file.
    meaning we want to take the list of the metadata parameter

    Thank you

    Does anybody have any ideas?
    I believe this is possible but you need to use a custom script for that, try the dedicated Bridge Scripting Forum for this request, I think you might have success there.

    RandomAccessFile? If you know where you want to insert it.Are you sure about this? If using this, the receiving file would have to have bytes inserted that exactly match the number of bytes replaced. I'm thinking that you'll likely have to stream through the second XML with a SAX parser and copy information (or insert new information) as you stream with an XML writer of some sort.

    If the files are small, you can load the target file in a DOM document, insert the data from the source file and persist the DOM.
    If the files are large, you probably want to use a StAX or SAX.
