How to add metadata on import

I can not for the life of me figure out how to add keywords on importing images. I have scoured the net looking for answers and cant find anything. I see the "Add Metadata from", but there is nothing underneath it where you can add information. The tutorial video from Apple shows fields underneath where you can add information, but I cant figure out how to get that to show up. This is driving me craaaazzzyy!! Any help sure would be appreciated!

I'm having the same issue as the image in the previous post. Anyone else have this too or a fix?
I am running 10.5.4 and the most recent version of Aperture w/ all updates
I have read thru the suggestions and deleted the plist files with no fix.
I also re-installed and the issue remains. The machine I am installing it on was just recently formatted and re-installed.
This is very confusing, looking forward to any help or suggestions.
Thanks,
Ian

How to add metadata to split tracks

I know how to do it to a single track but when i click on the next track it still show the name from the previous track. How to add metadata to split tracks for like a mixtape?

Thanks for the screenshots, very helpful.
Once you split them into different tracks, and each track is a different file on disk (as shown in your Windows Explorer / Finder screenshot), you'll want to:
Go through each file
Enter the desired metadata via the Metadata Panel (see below)
Save each file
If you're working with MP3 files, the relevant fields are the ID3 tags shown in this dialog:
If you're saving as WAVE files, the relevant RIFF metadata fields are shown in this dialog
Once you enter the info you want into those fields and the save the file, then it should show up in Windows Explorer which is what I think you're going for.

How to add metadata to .xdp form

Hi,
I am currently investigating how to add metadata to an xdp form in LifeCycle Designer. I have read the help contents that Adobe provide however I am unclear as to how exactly the metadata is included with the form. Are there specific elements that are included in the xml? Also is the metadata that is included specific to a field, area, etc within the form?
The metadata I wish to include with the xdp form will contain information regarding the manner in which the form can be used at a later stage, for example whether a form can be printed. In this case I would envisage the following: <printable>true</printable> as part of many different elements within the metadata.
If anyone can offer any insight into this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply,
The way you have described seems to be for individual fields. Is it possible to include metadata that applies to the whole form rather than just an individual field. I have been looking at manipulating the xml. I am not familiar with LiveCycle Designer and as such I was thinking that you could possibly add elements to the xml in the following section:

As you may see from the code snippet above I have added three elements: name, editable and printable. The information within these elements would be extracted at a later stage and used by another application to make decisions such as is the form printable, it the form editable etc. Do you know is this the correct place to be adding these elements? The addition of these elements does not cause an error within Designer so I am assuming that there should be no problem accessing / modifying these fields later?
Thanks

How to add metadata to multiple images via Template

Hi
Wonder if anyone can tell me if it is possible to add Metadata to multiple images using a metadata template. I see that I can add to multiple using Organizer but with that you have to type in the metadata. In Elements 11 I can do it using a template but only for 1 image at a time.
Is there a way to do this in Elements 11 or Organizer?
Thanks in Advance.

In the File properties dialog of the editor you can enter your values in the metadata tabs, then use the 'Import' button on the bottom of the dialog, switch to 'Export' and that exports your values as a template.
As far as I know, this is to be used in the advanced dialog of the downloader : you can use your templates at import time for a batch of images.
Otherwise, when you have selected many images in the organizer, you can click on the 'Add IPTC data' button in the tags panel on the right side : you have to enter the data which will be applied to all the selected files.

How to add hyperlinks in Import Manager

Dear MDM-gurus!
I really tried hard to find the solution, but couldn't find it here or in OSS.
We already have a repository with more than 50.000 items.
What I'd like to do is to add hyperlinks to PDF-files in the internet to each item.
For this we got an excel-file from the supplier with the supplier part number in one column, the PDF-link in another column and the .
In Data Manager I was able to add links manually or also with importing entries of the excel-file. Importing from excel takes a LOT of time. I don' t know why:
- Fields to import: Hyperlinks
- Key fields: Supplier part number.
--> Action: Update all single matches.
How can I import hyperlinks in Import Manager, make the mapping and then update the records faster? E.g. I could not find the field "URL <Hyperlink> [Qual]" in Import Manager
Thanks for your help and best regards,
Henning

Resolved!
I accidently oversaw the URL fields in Import Manager in table catalog items.

How to add metadata into XDP form

Hi,
I am new to LiveCycle Designer. Wondering if there is a way to add PDF metadata into XDP form?
I tried adding it into the XML source under the <x:xmpmeta> section, but the rendered PDF output file lost the metadata I added in the XDP.

Ohh, I see.
But I think you can do this in a workaround with PDF, like the following.
1. Load a form in Designer
2. Delete possibly existing metadata in the XML Source <desc> ... </desc>
3. Add fragment with the scripting for the metadata changes
4. Save as PDF
5. Close the PDF
6. Reopen the PDF
7. Save as XDP

How to add xmp metadata to dae files

How to add metadatas to 3D dae files...?
The cad file used as an entry, the 2D files used as textures, environment, shaders...etc?

Hi,
Yes sorry about the "Acrobat Tag" , the question was more for the CS6 suite, and the management of DAE files in Bridge and Photoshop Extended in a CQ5 DAM workspace.
But nevertheless, it should be cool if Acrobat X 3D could import directly Collada files...

How to put metadata in iweb?

Anyone knows how to add metadata in iweb?
I found something called iWebmore, a program made by a person out there, but it seems old (ilfe06?) and doesn't really cut it.
Any good ideas how to do it?
Ken

Noone knows?
If you don't want to use iweb more, then you open your published .html pages with a text editor and add whatever you want. You have to redo it every time you republish.
If you are concerned about search engines, search the forum for Google or search engine to fine other discussions on the topic.

Note the last paragraph in the original post which explains how Flickr handles resolution changes without breaking the rectangles. Perhaps a more straightforward approach would be to store both the rectangle coordinates for each rectangle AND the image's width and height at the time the rectangles were created. Then if the image is scaled, the rectangles can be scaled accordingly. For example, if a rectangle is at x=100,y=200,w=50,h=70, the "original dimensions" are 1000x2000, and the image's current dimensions are 500x1000, then an application could assume the image has been scaled down by (500/1000=) 0.50, and so the x,y,w,h of each rectangle could also be multiplied by 0.50 (x=50,y=100,w=25,h=35). I'd recommend storing floating-point values so that multiple scalings don't make the rectangles "creep".
Of course, it is possible that really the image was cropped rather than scaled, but fairly unlikely you would happen to crop it the same percent in both directions. Even if an image is cropped, someone could manually repair the rectangles by sliding and scaling them until the fit back on the faces (unless most of the faces were cropped off).
A rectangle-aware application could scale and translate the rectangles during a crop or scaling operation, but other applications could still survive scaling if they at least preserve the XMP tags as-is.

How to add more fields at level task for importing to MsProject

Hi everyone,
We would like to have the same number of fields either for importing as exporting; or at least, the fields that we need.
The problem is when we are configurating the fields for exporting from cProjects to MsProject, we found 81 available fields and then we don't find the same amount for importing (34). So, in some cases we don't find fields which were configurated for exporting and it is no posible to upload the information back because the field is no available for importing.
Does anyone knows how to add more fields for importing at the cProjects side?
Thanks a lot,
CAMILO URIBE

Some fields can not be migrated because of MsProject designe. The above is the reason why cProjects' customizing does not offer the
mapping of the same nuember of fields.

How to add a gradient or 50% transparent fill to an .ai imported path?

Hello All;
I need some help. My task sounds simple enough but not sure how to accomplish it.
I created the following path in Illustrator (See attached illustration - the top one). This is actually for a lower-third graphic.
I have been successful at importating that into .ai. Though should I be using a solid or a shape layer or doesn't it matter ?
I can add a stroke which affects the color and thickness of the outlines OK.
However, I can't figure out how to add either a gradient fill or one that is 50% transparent ? Can anyone help ?
Oh ... I'll mention I'm using After Effects CS3.
Thanks.
Tim

Rick;
I've used Illustrator for quite a while both at home and at work but I really havn't had to do anything that complex yet. Same goes for Photoshop. I bought DVD tutorials for most of the productivity software I use and when you gave your first explanation, I watched the DVD tutorial on Importing into AE so I know what you're referring to when you say to import as composition. So far, I've only tried to import into AE by copying and pasting. I think that's why I just got the path and not the background. I'll try importing a composition shortly and see if I get the fill too. I actually found a tutorial on making the type of shape I need to in Photoshop so maybe I'll try that instead of Illustrator and then import that into AE.
Btw - It may not actually be a gradient fill I need to use but instead a solid fill with the top half lighter and buttom half darker.
In case you're interested, here's actually what I'm trying to create for a video project. I could actually buy the animation for $8 but I figured that this can't be that difficult and I need to learn this stuff anyway ... http://videohive.net/item/lower-third-15-different-colour-schemes/145337?WT.ac=category_th umb&WT.seg_1=category_thumb&WT.z_author=berol

How to add newly imported audio - as a new storyline/angle to existing multi cam Project??

I have a 6 camera multi cam Music Video Project I have been working on in depth for 5 days. The "band" has sent me a new & improved .wav file to replace the audio I have been working with on one "song". I have imported it into the event, cannot figure out how to add it as a new angle (that I will manually sync on the timeline) and then make it the active audio monitor angle. I see ways to "connect it" but not how to have it appear in the 6up display & on its own story/time line in the precision editor. This is like reinventing the wheel. I am losing mu mind. Please help?
Thanks
