FCP X meta data file management

I want to order my files in FCPX by the date and time I shot the material, for some reason the "date created" tab is referring to the date and time I copied the files onto my computer, how do I get it to use the original metadata from the camera?

You can do all the clips at once if their date/time stamps are relative to each other. Aside from that there isn't anything. FCP is reading it differently from Bridge. You can't make this application work like another application.

Data File Management on SAN & RAID

Hi everyone,
this is more a question for some generic feedback rather than a particular problem. I'm advising on a system which runs 10g, Archiving, Flashback and Standby on a really fast machine. The whole database, which currently is some 5GB, runs pretty much of an 40GB SGA :)
When i started working with Oracle we managed data files very detailed and paid much attention to disk placements, that was back at 8i. Today we have NAS, SAN and RAID systems which make I/O tracking a lot harder. This particular system runs an HP storage system, which runs virtual RAID's and everything appears under just 1 mount point in the OS and to the DB.
I'm aware of the standard rules, e.g. Logs on RAID10 etc., but i'm just wondering how, everyone of you out their setting up production systems, usually deal with the placement of DB Files, Log Files, Archive File and Flashback Files on today's low end or enterprise class Storage Systems?
If you need a particular problem to answer ..... the issue here is that IT says it's not the storage system, but out of 13h database time i have over 3h log file sync and write wait events.
Thanks.

Well the first thing I'd do with a 5GB database is not run a 40GB SGA.
But to your question ... I like to place my files so that, hypothetically, I can lose a disk shelf not just a disk, and that in so doing if I lose storage I can lose the database but not its associated backups, archived redo logs and redo logs. Or, if I lose the backups I still have a running database.
And 1 LUN is almost never the right answer to any question if performance is an issue.
Also familiarize yourself with Clos networks and create multiple paths from everywhere to everywhere. This means that blades and 1U servers are almost never the right answer to a database question.

No image preview in Bridge and unable to write meta data files

I recently converted my CR2 files to DNG files using the DNG converter. For the most part it worked. However, for some files, something went wrong. When I looked at a folder of newly converted dng files using Bridge, I noticed that some files didn't have a preview. These same files won't allow meta data to be written either. Are these files corrupt? What is wrong and how do I fix it? I tried to open these files in CR and they do open. Wierd thing is that if I open the file in CR, then click save file as dng, it will then show a preview in Bridge.

Yes. The original RAW file (CR2) allows me to write metadata. In fact, if I write the metadata to the CR2 file first, then convert to DNG, all the metadata is there - even for the files that at first do not have a preview in Bridge.
But the reason I'm converting to DNG is because I want my original archive files to be in a non-propriatory format.
Even though I can get around the current issues of no preview and writing metadata, my main concern is whether or not there is a problem with the conversion. I don't want to find out later that the file is corrupt. I'm worried that the issues with previewing and writing metadata are symptoms of some bigger problem.
Any ideas?

Photoshop Meta Data File Sizes

I am using meta data "description" menu to add meta data to web images.
The basics:
title
description
keywords
copyright
Thats is about it for my application....so far and like I say it is just for web images at this point.
At any rate to me surprise I did not realize how much the meta data added to file size.
I had assummed it was minimal but in fact that is not the case. Meta data ends up adding a lot.
Question:
So is there a way in Photoshop to see what the final file size will be with the meta data included as I have found, so far, is the image itself file size when I view the
"Saving for Web & Devices" menu screen.
Also tried the "Info" menu and neither indicate the meta data additons ito an images file size.
One of the reasons is, of course, that I would like to get as many keywords in there as possible, as an example lets say this was the logo or site's header and they have a lot of different products.
The more keywords the better the SEO results will be. I am sure this statement in itself is disputable but as of now 5/2013 it appears that way as far as SE's are concerned.
Tested this extensively and the result were remakable, but that is another story.
Any help or links to other infomration will be
greatly appreciated
thank you
Jonny

I new that was a big mistake saying it that way.
I was focused on the file size issue.
Trying to use more efficient effective keywords for an image that represents several products.
As a simple example let's say the site focused on pencils, pens, and paper clips.
So just using one of those keywords or even just two of them would be misleading to the site visitor.
So in my opinion using all three would be most effective.
I don't intend to use red pens, black pens, purple pens, metal paper clips, plastic paper clips, colored paper clips, etc.
But that is not my point anyway. What a pain in the *** it will be to try this, save it, try that, save it, blah, blah, blah,etc.
Thank you very muich for taking the time to respond and KNOW that I greatly appreciate your advise.
You confimred my suspicions.
I did find a PS CS5 Plug-in that would supposedly make this task easier but i am very suspicous, won't waste my time.
Took a copy of the default "raw data" from the "File Info" menus and pasted that into BBEdit (XML or whatever) and the file size increased by about 3.5k with just the default "raw data", whoa.
So with experimetation, as you suggest I may get and idea of size more or less.
I was hoping I was making it harder than it was but Adobe has not responded either.

How to delete the raw-data out of the meta data (file information)

Hi guys,
I am definetely going crazy: since half an hour I can´t find a solution than copy (image) paste and save as a virgin jpeg: I`ve just converted some 0,5 GB tif files which I elaborated heavily in ACR and the 550 by 367 PIXEL JPEG @ quality 9 has 1,1 MB. As all your moves are saved in the raw-data (last field inthe fileinformation) there´s quite a bit on the file, also on 3 by 2 Pixel (!) "big" derivates. It seem´s there´s no intellegent way to discard this information. If you know, please let me know!
Thanks, Sebastian

You could try the following code to remove all the metadata, run it from within ExtendScript Toolkit and select the files in Bridge.
#target bridge
removeXMPData();
function removeXMPData(){
if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
var sels = app.document.selections;
for (var a in sels){
var thumb = new Thumbnail(app.document.selections[a]);
var md = thumb.synchronousMetadata;
var xmp = new XMPMeta(md.serialize());
        try{
        XMPUtils.removeProperties(xmp, "", "", XMPConst.REMOVE_ALL_PROPERTIES);
        var updatedPacket = xmp.serialize(XMPConst.SERIALIZE_OMIT_PACKET_WRAPPER | XMPConst.SERIALIZE_USE_COMPACT_FORMAT);
        thumb.metadata = new Metadata(updatedPacket);
        }catch(e){alert(e);}

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.
Thank you,
Pierre

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?

Anyone know anything about Meta Data?

I'm just finishing up a large project and getting ready to deliver it and I have been asked to deliver the "Meta Data" files? I'll be totaly honest, I have no idea what they are or how I get them from FCP!
Can anyone explain this to me please?
Also, is it something I need to do for every sequence I have in a project or is there just one meta data file for the entire project?

They sent this over, which also asks for an MD5 Checksum...again something I ma not familiar with at all

Filename into meta data

I'd like to be able to add the filename into the meta data (File info) automatically on all the documents we work on. The reason being our client changes the file name and when they return the pdf to us for amends I have little or no way of locating the file amongst 25,000 documents.

If you unzip this link:
http://www.zenodesign.com/forum/MetaTitle.zip
and copy the script to your scripts folder (Applications ▸ Adobe InDesign CC 2014 ▸ Scripts ▸ Scripts Panel), then open a file and run the script you'll see that the file name gets copied to the meta data Document Title and the file gets saved.
So you could open Keyboard Shortcuts>Scripts find the script and give it the Command-S key command.

Import meta data wlst command from Java

Hi All,
Can any one please provide me a java code for importing meta data file using WLST commands.

HI Joe,
As a professional news and sports photographer I cannot use Aperture for this problem alone. I live and die by my captions and if a photo isn't captioned, or incorrectly captioned, it might as well not exist at all. Fixing the IPTC import problem is No 1 priority for me.
As it is at the moment only half of the caption (description) comes in and some fields are missing entirely. This is only with RAW files, JPEG files import perfectly.
Whilst we wait for this issue to be resolved (and PLEASE can it be soon!) is there anyway of working with the IPTC from the JPEG?
If I shoot RAW and JPEG together can Aperture show both the RAW and the JPEG side by side so that I can lift from JPEG and stamp the RAW with the IPTC data? Even better, can something be written into Aperture where I can select all the RAW & JPEG images and just select a command saying 'copy IPTC data from RAW to JPEG'? This would be a very helpful temporary workaround.
Finally, and I've put this in the feedback, can we have a much bigger window for IPTC data entry? Personally I would like a pop-up window similar to PhotoMechanic, and I'd like to be able to save my caption so that the next time I import images I can just selected the saved caption instead of going through all the fields setting it up again.
For Aperture to be used as a DAM for my huge library I need the IPTC to be fully featured.

Meta-data conversion

Is there any info on when a tool will be available to convert kodo 3
jdo/mapping files to JDO 2 meta-data files?
thanks,
Clive

Is there any info on when a tool will be available to convert kodo 3
jdo/mapping files to JDO 2 meta-data files?You should be able to convert files using the mappingtool's built-in
export/import capabilities. Something like this:
<with MappingFactory set to kodo3 value:>
mappingtool -a export -m true -f export.jdo2 package.jdo
<change MappingFactory to kodo4 value, then:>
mappingtool -a import -m true export.jdo2
Check the docs on the mappingtool for exact options.

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
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921

Meta data and data asset management

I am looking for suggestions and or products that can support managing our footage.
Our goal is for an editor to search for a clip using the data entered in the “description” (metadata) field of clips and sub-clips that have been logged in various projects.
Here is the outline.
We record clips of high def footage and we import batches of these clips; sometimes a few dozen, and sometimes thousands. We bring these batches into a Premiere Pro CS5 project by importing the video clips from within a P2 card folder structure, or avchd, or dslr footage or ??/any format we collect...
We log a description of the clips and of sub-clips, and then we edit a film from those elements. After 1 project, or after 50 projects, we have all the detailed description (metadata) we've entered about each clip and sub-clip captured, and this data lives within the CS5 project. We can only search it from within the original project.
If we start a new project and we need to look back at footage from old projects, we can only search for footage by going into that old project . We would like to have the metadata write back to our archive (or a copy of the footage in a new archive.) If the archive and the clips and sub-clips had the metadata from the project we could search and find assets. Among the obstacles is that sub-clips share the name of the clip it comes from so there is no “place” for it’s metadata. We've tried using Project Manager>Collect Files & Copy to New Location but the subclip .mxf files created through this process are copies of the source clip despite being labeded "random.subclip001". When imported, this "random.subclip001" file shows up in Premiere as the original "random" source clip name.
We are looking at a small library – but it’s big for us. About 20 terabytes… A typical client might have 4-6 terabytes of assets we would like to look through for a shot, or an interview… Has anyone made inroads on this?
Many thanks for any thoughts and ideas.
Sincerely,
Rees Candee

Hi Abhilash,
Meta Data-
In BW the meta-data contain data about data.
It is like having information about the information.
You have the business related meta-data for example the description used in your reports or the technical related meta-data for example the rules used in the transformation or the extraction. These are the two types of meta-data you have in the metadata repository that you manage with the metadata manager
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/80/1a6197e07211d2acb80000e829fbfe/content.htm
Meta Data Repository
It is the repository which Manages Meta Data, for example like when talking about an ODS in the metadatarepository you can read about which characteristics, key figures, infosource and updaterules are used in it. And creation date, owner etc.
