Extracting and editing XMP

Anyone have any tips for extracting and editing XMP? I've noticed that when I edit the metadata for pdf files, it doesn't embed the Dublin Core metadata (unless I'm doing something wrong, I guess). I've also noticed that if I change simple pdf properties like the title before I try to convert to a PDF-A1b, I'll get an error that says the titles are conflicting in the XMP. So I try to convert to PDF-A before I edit the metadata, then save as a PDF-A again.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks Matthew,
That was the answer. There were a couple of funny little things, but I guess that's iMovie HD 5.
The first time I tried to reimport the Quick Time clip it was rejected but I gave it a shorter name and it was accepted. The first name was the same as, or close to, that of the extracted audio. Also, when I first extracted the audio of the short clip and checked Show Info, it gave the duration as being the same as the clip, about 6 minutes, but in iTunes it was 50 minutes or so.
I saw somewhere advice on selecting the extracted audio only and sending it to Quick Time Expert Settings but I guess the long version would still be the problem.
Thanks again.

How open and edit the coherence.xml file?

How can I open and edit the coherence.xml file?
I cannot find the coherence.xml file in the coherence.jar package.
Thank you,
June

If you are intent on changing the coherence.xml file, then you could use the JAR command (that comes with Java) to extract the coherence.xml file from coherence.jar and the later repackage the coherence.jar file using the udpated coherence.xml file, e.g.:
C:\java\opt\coherence-331\lib>jar -xvf coherence.jar tangosol-coherence.xmlextracted: tangosol-coherence.xml>
Instead of using JAR, on Windows you can associate the .JAR, .WAR and .EAR extensions with WinZip and use it to access / modify the contents of JAR files.
However, the suggested approach is as follows, and does not include any changes to the tangosol.jar file:
The tangosol-coherence-override-dev.xml file can be found in the coherence.jar file. After editing this file (in this case to define a unique value for the port system-property value for the multicast listener), save the file and add it to the server's classpath. When the server is executed, the values in the tangosol-coherence-override-dev.xml file will override any corresponding settings in the tangosol-coherence.xml file.Peace,

Editing XMP metadata in Bridge for checked-out files?

Our custom connector does not implement the WRITE_XMP_METADATA Capability because we do not want to change the XMP of a file in our DAM system without checking in a new file version.
However, when a file is checked out through Adobe Drive, we would expect to be able to edit its XMP metadata in Bridge just like we can for local files.
It looks like this is still not possible with Adobe Drive 3, i.e. if your connector does not implement the WRITE_XMP_METADATA Capability you cannot edit XMP for checked out files either.
It seems weird that you can edit XMP metadata for checked out files with regular CS applications but not with Bridge. Is this something that is expected to be fixed in a future version?
Thanks

In our design, editing XMP data in Bridge and in regular CS applications is different, the former one will be routed to SetXMPHandler in you connector, in the latter case, CS applications take the normal file writting ways to embed XMP data in the file content.
The purpose of this design is to offer similar user experience for normal users when they edit XMP data for AD assets and local file assets, they don't need to check-out files first.
To address your issue, I think you can add some codes in SetXMPHandler to auto check-out files before real XMP operation, and check-in them before exiting the handler
We will consider to make some enhancements for this part, that's, to allow editng XMP data for the checked-out files in Br, in the next release, thanks for this advice.

Problem with Bridge CS4 reading/editing XMP metadata added in Bridge CS6

Please excuse me if this is a dumb/obvious question. I did try searching the forums for similar problems and didn't find anything that seemed to speak to my issue.
I'm having a problem where Bridge CS4 won't read/edit xmp metadata (specifically, keywords and descriptions in the IPTC panel) that I have entered using CS6. it will read some files, not others. The files are all .mp4s. Of these files, I can read/edit IPTC panel metadata for some of them in Bridge CS4; I can add metadata for all of them in CS6. I see no particular pattern in these files to explain what is and isn't read/editable in CS4.
My question is whether this is a compatibility issue between different versions of CS (in this instance, CS4 and CS6). i know it's a tired refrain to blame software when it could easily be user error, in which case I'd be frankly delighted to know what i'm doing wrong. Please bear with me as I give a few more details.
I'm using macs. I've tried this on multiple systems - for instance, on a mac pro 3 which for some reason has both CS4 and CS6 installed, i can add and edit keywords using CS6, but not when using CS4. Again, in CS4, some .mp4 files read/edit, others do not.
Bridge CS4 blames the files and tells me that the selected file cannot store xmp metadata, and that the properties cannot be modified. To be specific, in the metadata panel it says "this property cannot be modified"; in the keyword panel, it says, "This file (zzz.mp4) cannot store xmp metadata. No changes will occur." This seems odd, because I'm able to add xmp metadata for the same files in CS6 on the same computer, and other computers. I know this problem would disappear if all our computers were using CS6 (or CC), but unfortunately that's not a possibility at the moment. Some of them only have CS4.
Computer details (not an exhaustive list, but two instances): mac pro 3.1 running snow leopard, 16GB memory; macbook pro 4.1 running snow leopard, 4GB memory; adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
Things I have tried:
Permissions - the files are set to read/write for everyone. Given that I can add/edit metadata in CS6, it doesn't seem to be a permission issue.
Purging the cache - other users seem to have had problems adding metadata in Bridge CS4 where purging the cache for affected files solved the problem. Didn't work in this instance.
Upgrading all affected computers to CS6/CC is beyond my control. I need to figure out why CS4 won't let me read/add/edit xmp metadata, if only for the sake of understanding the broader implications for interoperability.
Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin

adobe bridge cs6 (5.0.0.399) and cs4 (3.0.0.464).
Without having experience with mp4 files and metadata my observation is that you certainly have not updated Bridge CS6 ( should be 5.0.2.4) and I believe also not the latest version of CS4, can't imaging this also stayed at .0.0 so first try to update both.
And if CS4 can read the data of some files it should be capable of reading them all. Be sure to have the files completely cached first, can take a while.
Other things to try in CS4 is refresh preferences (hold down option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs).
And also check for hidden cache files using menu view/show hidden files. Sometimes those cache files can be troublesome between versions.
If purge cache did not work and reset prefs also failed consider to also delete Bridge plist file and Bridge cache file manual (from user library)

Exploring and editing pdf metadata

Adobe FOrm
Looking for either an Adobe or third party solution such that I can explore and edit my pdf metadata. I have hundreds of technical and journal documents 9somewhat organized). But search for a particular article can be a daunting experience. I've seen a number of third party application which will allow me to visually explore my pdfs files but was wondering if there is an Adobe solution or a recommended third party solution some of you might use.
Jeff

Adobe Bridge can edit/search/display the XMP metadata in lots of different file types, but it's only available as part of a collection (e.g. a Creative Cloud subscription).

How do I import (and edit) a QT file from a DVD?

Have been sent some footage on a DVD which I believe is in Quicktime, and I need to import it into iMovie(3.0.3) and edit it: How do i do this? the files are all marked .VOB, .IFO and .BUP - I can't actually open them and play them on the Quicktime7 player, but on the DVD menu the file is named as "[scenes] in Quicktime"
I am not particularly adept technically and can't follow many of the posts on this topic, so i don't know if this has already been answered! (sorry...)
I can play the DVD using my DVD player, although there are no chapters, etc. I just need to extract one scene and edit it into another film project (urgently).
Help!
Jonno Roberts

Viewing DVD (MPEG-2 format) files using QuickTime requires the purchase of the MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20 from Apple Store).
After you install the MPEG-2 Playback Component I would also use MPEG Streamclip 1.5.1 (free download) to "export" (just the chapter you need) to DV Stream.
This new .dv file can be edited and exported using iMovie or added to other iMovie Projects.
Hope this helps.

How do I convert already imported and edited RAW (NEF) files + it's Sidecar file, to DNG?

Using Lightroom 4 now on a Mac. I have an extensive number of RAW (NEF) + Sidecar combos, that I wish to convert in groups, if possible, to DNG format, so the data of the sidecards is retained, and the DNG created does not need to be reedited from its origional camera state. What is the best way of doing this with a large number of files?

Does Library>Convert Photo to DNG not do this?
Edit: just checked. It does. While the DNG replaces the file in Lightroom, the Raw and the XMP are still there on the disk.

Editing xmp files in Windows

Windows XP SP2 Pro
Just read on another forum that it is possible to edit xmp data in a text editor in Windows. If possible, could someone kindly stear me in the right direction for doing this or post a link.
I took a few dozen shots the other day and for some reason or other when imported into LR 99% of them showed up with the correct lens being used in the Metadata browser whilst the remaining 1% were indicated as 'Unknown Lens'. I would like to edit this data if possible so if the above is possible as suggested would appreciate some direction in the way to proceed. Thanks.

Bogdan
The situtation is this - last weekend I was asked to do a shoot of a friends daughter at her Church Communion. The shoot was a good result and I couldn't be more pleased with what I captured - the family are also :-)
For the shoot I used a Canon 30D with an EF 17-40 f/4L USM and shot off countless images. There was no camera or lens change throughout the shoot and all images were shot in RAW.
Upon Import to LR (only import, no editing done up to this point), the Metadata browser in the left hand panel of the Library indicated that 99% of these images were shot with the camera/lens combination above whilst the remaining 1%, whilst showing the correct camera, were indicated as 'Unknown Lens'. This may or may not be a corruption of the impregnated EXIF data within the RAW file itself but in this regard is not important.
My gaol was to change the 'Unknown Lens' entry in the Metadata entry to reflect the lens actually used. To this end I first Exported an xmp file, opened the file, found where unknown lens was indicated and substituted it for the lens used. I first checked another xmp with the correct info shown to ensure that I typed the correct data in precisely in the format as shown in the referenced file. I then saved the modified xmp file, went back to LR and 'Removed' the RAW image from the Library. Following this I Re-Imported the image and imported the xmp file just in case it hadn't been brought in at the same time as the RAW file.
Unfortunately, when highlighting this RAW image in the Library the Metadata browser panel still indicated the lens used as being 'Unknown'. I checked back in the xmp file and that still reflected my changes e.g. no mention of unknown lens and the correct lens being shown. I can only assume from this that upon Import of the .CR2 file into LR, LR is giving priority to the EXIF data buried deep within the .CR2 file itself and only takes data from the xmp file that is not contained within the EXIF file. I am no expert in these matters and therefore cannot come up with any other reason as to why when the xmp file has been corrected this is not reflected in the Metadata browser window in LR.
This is certainly not the end of the world but it is something that would obviously be desirous if this problem keeps on repeating itself. If LR is to show 'statistics' of Cameras and Lenses used etc then for it to have worth it must reflect accurate data. Not that I am suggesting for one moment that this is a failure within LR itself you understand.
Edit: Forget all references made to Camera model e.g. 30D/20D which may be confusing the issue. It was just that when I failed in my attempts to change the 'Unknown' lens entry to the correct data that I then attempted to see if it was possible to change any other data e.g. Camera model. This too was unsuccessful, but as stated can be dismissed as it is not the important issue here as is the case for the lens used and was only done for experimentation purposes.

Extraction to Edit in Audition from Premier Pro is messed up!!!

So evidently, Right clicking the clip the premier pro time line and editing in audition screws up the extraction process creating a tiny file that does nothing.
My work around for my solution I figured out myself is to do this:
Right click the audio file in the media browser and open into audition from premier pro. The extracted file I then edited in audition and then had to drag the extracted file from media browser in premier pro to the timeline sequence.
BTW, Adobe Phone Support is complete crap. I seemingly got hung up on after a long time of silence and being asked to hold on as he appears to look into my situation.
I can make it work but it doesn't work the way Adobe intended I presume.
Pretty irritating. Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance! !

How big is the audio file? Premiere cannot extract audio greater than 4gb. It is limited to old WAV file extraction. It doesn't support import of WAV larger than 4gb either.
TIPS:
1. If you have big audio in timeline, use blade to clip it up, and then select all clips and edit in audition.
2. In Audition, if you have a large WAV stereo file, split it up to mono channels. If it is still too big, export it to MOV or AVI with Linear PCM data (same data, just a different file wrapper) and it will not matter how big the file is. You can import that to Premiere just fine.
3. If you are working with 5.1 audio, always EXPORT to a MOV or AVI file in linear PCM. You will retain 5.1 track data, and it will import as a single track in Premiere that you can adjust in audition where needed, or use a mixer in premiere to get it right.
4. If your audio is stereo and 1-3 hours, 48k16bit will be huge and 96k at 16bit will kill the WAV file limit at 1.5 hours. Separate the channels and you should be okay. With 5.1 of the same length, you might also get away with the same channel separation. Beyond that, you'll need a different file container. If you still wish to separate audio, do so, it won't hurt anything.

Extracting and sorting AVCHD Clips

I just got a Panasonic Lumix GH3 camera. I took shots for several different projects all on the same SD card. I want to separate the clips into the corresponding project folders on my computer so that I can label the clips and import and edit them later in Premiere. When I insert the SD card, I click on private and the AVCHD file. I dragged and dropped the whole file onto myu desktop and then opened it. I then tried to drag and drop the individual files to the folders, but it doesn't work. I don't want to import the whole file into Premiere because the clips are from several different projects. How can I extract the clips out to sort them before working with them in Premiere?

Like this?
SELECT loan_desc,REGEXP_SUBSTR(loan_desc,'[[:digit:],.]+%?') extract_string

Edit XMP-tags for MP3

Hello
Not sure if this is the right forum but I give it a try... I have used XMP for keyword-tagging a big collection of recordings (MP3) in Adobe Bridge. Unfortunatley the CreateDate-tag is wrong and I would like to modify the tags. For image or video there are several softwares availible to edit XMP-tags (like Exiftool and MetadataTouch) but for MP3 I haven't found anything. Is there any external software (Windows) availible for editing XMP-datetags in audio files?
Best reagrds
Fredrik

Not sure how many other people noticed, but iTunes 8 removed the ID3 tag "set version" feature from the "Advanced" menu. Part of the whole simplification push, I guess.
My DJ software (Traktor) doesn't like certain ID3 versions, so I sometimes need to batch change tags to ID3 v2.3. I.e. I don't need to edit the song metadata -- iTunes is great for that. I just need to batch change the tag version to ID3 v2.3.
I guess this is a bit arcane- any suggestions?

Why we have setup tables in LO extraction and why not in CO-PA,Generic,FI-S

Hi revathi,
The R/3 database structure for accounting is much more easier than the Logistical structure.
Once you post in a ledger that is done. You can correct, but that give just another posting.
BI can get information direct out of this (relatively) simple database structure.
In LO, you can have an order with multiple deliveries to more than one delivery addresses. And the payer can also be different.
When 1 item (orderline) changes, this can have its reflection on order, supply, delivery, invoice, etc.
Therefore a special record structure is build for Logistical reports.and this structure now is used for BI.
In order to have this special structre filled with your starting position, you must run a set-up. from that moment on R/3 will keep filling this LO-database.
If you wouldn't run the setup. BI would start with data from the moment you start the filling of LO (with the logistica cocpit)
I hope I have been clear.

Open and edit animated .gif while preserving frame timing

CS4 Premium Design Edition, Win XP
I was disappointed with the removal of Image Ready from CS3 because although some of the functionality was placed into Photoshop 10, there was no way to open and edit an existing animated .gif while preserving the timing of each individual frame. I was told on the PS forum at the time that I really needed to use Fireworks. I resented that, because I was very happy with Image Ready and I didn't want to have to learn a new application just to gain functionality that had been included in previous versions of PS/IM.
I've now got CS4 Premium Design Edition which of course includs Fireworks... and here's what Help has to say on the subject of imported .gifs.
"Note: When you import an animated GIF, the state delay setting defaults to 0.07 seconds. If necessary, use the States panel to restore the original timing."
This is no use to me. What if I don't know the individual frame timings? What if there are 200 frames with varying timings?
Simple question: which current Adobe product is capable of importing a .gif while retaining the frame timings? If anyone knows, or if I've misunderstood the nature of the Fireworks Help quote above, I'd really appreciate some input here. Thanks :)
Not so simple question: why was an excellent gif-editing application thrown out to have its functionality partially replaced by a bunch of scripts and half-effective workarounds cooked up by desperate users ("import a gif by using the video import and typing *.* into the filename box..")? It's a fair question I think.
Mark

Hi Bob, that's not glib at all, it's a reasonable question.
I uninstalled it along with everything else when I installed CS3, in the reasonable expectation that whatever replaced IR would be at least equal in functionality.
Perhaps I should just dig out CS2 and install IM from there, but I have some serious reservations about doing so, because I don't know if/how a partial install of CS2 will impact upon my installation of CS4, and I'm not confident of getting support.
I am also curious to know if/why Adobe actually removed basic functionality without replicating or replacing it in their other software. I really want to know: which recent, currently supported Adobe product
should I be using in order to regain this functionality? Or do Adobe no longer produce a geniuinely comprehensive .gif-editing application?
