Files losing "Tape Name" Metadata

I add metadata to the "tape name" schema in Premiere Pro and make sure the link is checked in the metadata display so that the info is added to the media, which works fine for all other schema except the Tape Name schema.
When I import the media into a new project, all other metadata is there but "Tape Name" is blank. I have tried to add it again and reimport, but no luck, it's still blank.

Okay, so nobody has answered this question or commented on it, and in the mean time Premiere has begun to lose all my analysis text metadata that I painstakingly edited for hundreds of clips!
What is happening with this metadata?
do I have to re-export these clips to make sure the metadata stays with the clips?
If anybody knows the answer or has an idea what is happening with my metadata please share.

Write Tape Name metadata in MXF

I want to convert MP4 files to MXF and embed Tape Name metadata in the MXF files. I import the source footage to Premiere (CC 2014), add Tape Name to each clip, then queue an export. I'm using MXF DNxHD 175x. The files created this way do not have any Tape Name information.
Also — is there a way to stop AME from creating XMP files for every single export?

I've found the metadata option in the export panel where the default option is "create sidecar file". I can switch it to "none", but "embed in output file" is greyed out for MXF.
Also, here's a broader question: How can I write tape name data to the source files? In FCP 7, when you change the reel name of a supported clip (like MOV), it warns you about modifying the source file on disk. In Premiere, the tape name seems to be saved only in the project file.

Changing the Tape Name of a media file

I need to change the Tape Name of an hour long media file that I captured a while ago.
(Gave it the wrong name and didn't notice til today.)
Is this possible?
Can I use the new name if sometime down the line I need to recapture the media?
Or are my only options to recapture or use the old name?
I haven't done anything with the file, haven't started the edit yet.
I need to change the Tape Name as well as the File Name and move it into a new FCP project.

I wish I could share your conviction on this working. I have had many instances of reel number changes not following through the workflow. (afaik reel number info is not embedded into the quicktime file, it remains within the fcp project file. how can you see its there in the quicktime file Michael? ) only too frequently do reel numbers get corrected and then revert to the original bad reel number.
I know this can be rectified by entering the right reel number in the first place, but human nature being what it is, especially when a big team is involved in ingesting footage, errors will creep in.
our solution here is to maintain a clear trail to the source tape by prefixing the tape no into the name column.
FCP's media managing being what it is, this has worked reliably for us.

Is it possible to add tape name/reel name/disk label/etc on more than one clip at a time?

Just coming to grips with some potential media management nightmares and want to find out whether I'm just missing something in the literature. Using Adobe Premiere Pro CC is there any way to modify tape name/reel name/disk label/card number? In both Final Cut Pro and Avid this is pretty straight forward and you can do this on multiple clips, or one at a time. However, I've not seen an easy way of doing this in Premiere.
To be honest, I haven't seen any way of identifying roll/card name within Premiere. It may not be part of everyone's workflow, but it is a rather crucial step for ours, and we're not able to do this at the moment which is pretty frustrating.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I suppose if we've got to do them one at a time it'll be a nice, quiet afternoon hitting copy and paste for someone!
Thanks in advance.

so strange premiere cant read/import other metadata, after they tout they ready for the big time... you can enter multiple values for some metadata fields, such as tape name. if you highlight multiple clips in the project bin and have metadata panel open, you can then type in your comments/data in the metadata panel, and it will write it to all the highlighted clips. you can also right click the columns in the project bin panel to choose which metadata fields you want, create new metadata fields, and save the setup for other projects...

How can I see file with chinese name in Sunray USB storage?

hi, All

You might want to make sure your credit card is listed in the billing information associated with your Apple ID (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918).
Also, to change the From name that appears when you address emails on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your iCloud email account, tap you iCloud account at the top, tap Mail at the bottom, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
To change the From name on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done. Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it. Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

Importing files with same name but different extensions

Hope I will be clear enough.
Lets say that instead of sending a file from Lightroom to an external editor, I open it directly in Photoshop.
When I'm done, I save the edited photo using the same name but in a different file format : IMG_1333.cr2 > IMG_1333.psd or IMG_1333.tif, and selecting the same folder location.
Then, I come back into Lightroom and synchronise the folder.
Why is the knew version of the picture not showing up beside the original file, despite the different extension ?
I notice that the different extensions ( .psd or .tif ) are recorded in the sidecar files field in the Metadata panel.
Of course, everything works fine if the file name is modified ( or just by selecting the "copy" option in Photoshop's "save as" dialog box ). Lightroom synchronise dialog shows the new photo to import.
So, why is Lightroom not making a difference between files with the same name but different format extensions ?
Thanks for any hint :-)
Gilles.

Gilles-
I think your problem is likely that you have the option to stack the copy with the original turned on. First, right-click on one of these photos and go to the stacking menu. If Unstack is not grayed out then you have a stack -- select Unstack to reveal all copies.
To change the automatic stacking of edited copies from Photoshop, when you next choose to edit a file, in the bottom left corner of the dialog is the check box for unstacking. Clear it, and that choice should "stick" until you change it again.
Hope this helps!

Preserving tape name and media start/end

I shoot lots of tapes of random footage to get short general-purpose clips for use later. Years ago when I started, I would preview in the capture window via device control, carefully set log in/out points, and let batch capture make all my little clips. Then I learned how hard that is on my camera's heads, so I got Scenalizer Live and used a new workflow - I captured my whole tape, and then sliced, trimmed, and renamed the "keeper" clips. But since most of my clips don't need audio and SCLive doesn't know how to make a video-only AVI, most recently I've gone back to using PPro for the slice and rename operation, putting the captured video on the timeline, slicing and dicing, and then "exporting to movie" the good pieces to make new AVIs, with only video and with the filenames I want. (Yes, I know there are purists out there who would be concerned about generational loss of methods 2 and 3, but in DV-AVI I just can't see how any mere mortal could tell the difference.)
But just now I discovered that only my first method preserved the information of where the clip originally came from, i.e. the Tape Name, Media Start, and Media End. All the rest lost that information when I trimmed the clips in either SCLive or PPro. Argh!
These clips are a lost cause, but for the future, is there a better workflow, one that will preserve both the clip information and my tape heads?

I agree - the metadata doesn't need to be repeated for every frame - just once for the clip.
If the clip gets chopped up in PPro (or SCLive or whatever program), it doesn't seem like it should be that hard for the software to just do the math - if I have a two-minute NTSC clip that was originally captured from timecode 12:00:00 to 13:59:29, and I chop it into a 30 sec. clip and a 90 second clip (silly simple example), the resulting two clips should still preserve the Tape Name and other info, and the start/end times should be 12:00:00-12:29:29 and 12:30:00-13:59:29. But instead both PPro and SCLive delete the Tape Name, and the start times of the resaved clips are all zero. Naturally if what is on the timeline when I save is a composite of multiple clips it's a different story, but if the only editing has been to simply put the clip on the timeline and adjust the end points and/or cut with the razor tool, it would be nice if the capture data was preserved.

Spotlight/Finder can't find a file, yet when I search the timecapsule for they find it. If I try to restore the file I get "file with that name already exists...." What is wrong?

I was trying to find a file (iTunes Backup). When using finder/Spotlight they couldn't find the file.
I then opened up my timecapsule and searched for the file....tick-a-de-da it found it in yesterdays backup. I attempted to restore the file and got the prompt "A file with that name already exists in this location, would you like to keep both, replace the file or cancel the request.
So if the file is there why can't spotlight/finder find the file??
If it helps I get this from the terminal when checking if indexing was enabled.

Hi Danielle,
Is there any possibilty that some of your files (a VI or DLL?) have been moved, renamed, or deleted? Also, what version of LabVIEW are you using and are you using any .NET DLLs? Another option to consider would involve VISA or DAQmx property nodes. Are you using any of these property nodes in your code? Here is a KnowledgeBase article to describe more about the VISA and DAQmx property nodes in a source distribution:

Relinking where the filename has changed but tape name is the same, can it be done?

Should it be possible to relink to media based on matching tape name?
So i have X files in a folder, each has a unique tape name. Then some of those files are regenerated with different filenames but the tape name remains the same. I was naively assuming that the relocate dialogue, if you had tape name checked and nothing else would then match the files name for name and find them automatically.
That doesn't seem to be the case.
So am i wrong? Or is there a way of relinking several hundred files where the filename may change - how can i get premiere to relink to a file other than exact filename match?
thanks
Paul

Hi Fuzzy!
I did look at that but it's a large extra step that wouldn't be ideal. The idea is that i need a timeline just changing as files are updated in the background, i don't want to have an extra workflow step in there. I can probably arrange it so the filenames don't change (not ideal) but the key is that the linking dialogue appears to suggest that i should be able to relink using tape name but it just doesn't appear to work.
If i relink one of the files then i'd expect PPro to go off any find any other missing ones based on the tape name, but nope...
thanks anyway
cheers
Paul

Applying tape name to multiple clips

How do you apply the same tape name to multiple clips - without having to do each one individually?

I can't believe there is no way to do this.
I'm starting a new project, shot on FS700. For every memory card, the file names start over at 00000.mts so tape name is essential for organizing, especially when sending to other applications such as Davinci Resolve. When a person has hundreds or thousands of these clips, it's ridiculous to type a tape name for each one individually. How does anybody edit file-based media in Premiere?

Project Manager ruins timecode and tape name

After picture locking a sequence, I tried using Project Manager with the "collect files and copy to new location" option to consolidate for the colorist.
Unfortunately, the resulting files all lack tape names, and have incorrect timecode. This is a serious problem, obviously, since the colorist will never be able to relink these clips. Has anyone else gotten this process working?
I then tried cleaning the media cache database, and I ran the Project Manager again with the same settings. This time, it created files with proper tape names, and incorrect timecode.
This project contains clips from multiple cameras, and the only ones having this problem are from a Sony FS700.

That's a great idea.
Importing the sequence into a new PP project brings the accurate timecode and tape names, so it's easy to export all the clips. But after queueing them up and exporting QuickTimes in AME, the new files all have timecode starting at zero and no tape name! WTF??
Here is a screenshot with proof. You can see file 00001.MTS in Premiere with timecode starting at 46:10:20 and in AME starting at zero.

File Path and Name field does not display correct path

We are using Crystal 2008 along with VS 2005. We embed the special "File Path and Name" field inside our report and it displays the correct path when viewed inside Crystal reports:
C:\Program Files\reports\Chart.rpt
When run through the web and viewed in the DHTML viewer, the file name and path appear as follows:
C:\Windows\TEMP\Chart {02152A43-3339-4C03-A50A-E281E1D391AF}.rpt
How can this be corrected?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

This is a known issue tracked under ADAPT0000962216. At this time I do not know when this will be resolved, however Service Pack 2 for CR 2008 is targeted to be released by September and this may contain the fix.

I want to update forms in the response file and save it. Sometimes it works, but often I need to save the response file in another name. Very inconsequent! How come?

I have a form that I am sending out and compiling in the response file. These forms I also want to be able to update after receiving them (when I have them in the response file).
But when I do the updates I need to re-save the response file with another name? The strange thing is that sometimes I can just update and save exactly the way I want it. But most of the time I get the message "This file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder."
Can someone please help me to figure out how to solve this issue. I know that I am the only one that has the file open. I am encountering the same issue in both Acrobat Pro 9 and Acrobat Pro X. (File was created in Acrobat Pro 9)

Good day!
A simple Paste does not work for you?
It should place the clipboard content as a new Layer which you can then move around.
If there is any chance that the elements need to be scaled, rotated etc. I would prefer to place them as Smart Objects (File > Place …) and do the masking that is specific to the images themselves in those.

I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

I would also recommend to write the description into the meta data. This would allow to place a text frame above the image and it is possible to add meta information and file name automatically together with the image, when you place it or even in a prepared template.
Meta data information can be written easily in Bridge in the Meta File Workspace.

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File - Export - Album name with number).

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?
