Problems adding metadata to file

Hello,
I've recently stopped automatically writing metadata to file, and now do it manually after I have edited a folder of
photos by command-s or clicking on the down arrows which indicate the metadata hasn't been written yet
But I have two problems:
1) When I select a few photos, either by shift-click or command-A, then  do a command-s or click the
arrow to save metadata, it only saves it to the first photo (I thought I could save more than one photo at a time?)
2) After I save metadats to file, and the arrow goes away, and I exit the folder I've been working on,
if I go back to the folder the arrow(s) often come back, even though I've done nothing more (no more
editing/keywording etc). In fact the arrows are back as soon as I open the folders?
I then save metadats to file again, and same thing happens - it's driving me crazy. Any ideas
Many thanks, Roy

Thanks, that seems to have worked (fingers crossed). It seems to me that the file is writing metadata back to the
catalogue though, where it came from? This confuses me.
I have also seen something on an Adobe link (I forgot to mention I convert my files to DNG in Lightroom) that states:
'If you're working with a DNG file, choose metadate>update DNG previews & metadata to save metadata changes to the file and also generate a preview based on the current raw processing settings'
I've never seen this before, and maybe it's what I should do each time instead of command-s or metadata>read metadata from file? I've got a couple of LR5 books, including the one by Martin Evening, but pretty sure this isn't mentioned, or I've missed it. Can anyone clear this up as I'm worried I might be doing something wrong here?

  • Problems adding an attachment file table in a JSP

    Hi,
    I'm working on CRM proyect and I want to add an attachment file table in a JSP, infoForm.jsp, so i copied the table

  • Problems adding an .mpeg file to IDVD

    I recently combined 2 mpeg files into one and would like to add this one .mpeg file to my IDVD. Each time I do, I get an error stating: Unsupported File Type: broken reference in...
    The file works fine for viewing in quicktime. Is there a way for IDVD to reconginze this .mpeg file as one and not 2 individual files?
    Thanks

    I had the same problem at one time. I re-encoded the mpeg files using iSquint to an mp4 format. My settings were, "Optimize for TV, Quality=Go Nuts, and H.264 Encoding."
    I've had no problems since. Hope this works for you.
    Good luck!

  • Problem adding large video files to library

    When I try to add large video files to my library. It doesn't work. No error message or anything. It just doesn't happen. The file I'm trying right now is 2.65 GB. I've had no problem with video files around 400 MB.

    What format is the video in? iTunes is unfortunately silent when you try to add a video or song that Quicktime can't decode.

  • Problems with metadata in .mov files

    Hi
    I'm trying to set up an archiving system for video much like the one I use for photography. In doing this, I use metadata (File Info) reated and applied in Bridge to create searchable keywords for our archivist to use.
    The problem is, I can't get bridge to create the metadata files. I can access the metadata templates function through the tools, File Info, or by control-clicking the image. But the window that opens is not editable, though it is savable. Blank but savable. I also cannot access other, previously created, templates. They are viewable, but greyed.
    I don't think i had this issue a couple of weeks ago. Am i doing something wrong?
    filmgrrrl

    I'm not familiar with movies but tried a .mov file myself. It is not
    possible to add metadata or keywords because it gives the message that it is
    a read only file.
    And it does make sense you can't add data to a read only file
    I tried also a little project that I used for try with film function on my
    powershot G9 and that was saved in i-Movie as Mv4. This file is capable of
    adding metadata so you should search for a way to make the .mov readable
    (don't know if it is possible at all), or if you make theme yourself try a
    format earlier in the process. But as said, I know very little to none about
    movies...
    Could this be with the version of Bridge I'm using? It really doesn't seem to
    want to give me access to change the metadata on .mov files. it's fine on
    photo files of various formats.

  • Save Metadata to File Problem

    This is really puzzling me .... In Catalogue Settings, I have 'Automatically write changes into XMP' NOT ticked. When I want to save, I Select All and then 'Save Metadata to File' . However, most of the time this only saves the 'Most Selected' image, it does not create/write to XMP for all the selected files? However, I know this is meant to save to all the selected files and I also know that sometimes it does/has saved all the XMP files for me. I cannot figure out why sometimes it saves all the files and sometime only the 'most selected' ? I have tried in both Library and Develop Modules. Is there a reason for this or is it some kind of bug?
    I'm using Lightroom Ver. 3 on a Mac. But I also used to have the same problem on Version 2 as well.
    Many Thanks

    Switch to Grid view - anything you do in Grid view will always apply to all selected images.

  • Adding metadata to my initial backup files

    I have a hard drive on my PC exclusively for image backup and I 'copy' all my pictures there automatically, when I first download them from the camera, using Adobe Bridge. In theory at least, this set should never be needed. All my subsequent processing takes place on the prime set in the 'C' drive, using Photoshop CS4. Short of completely overwriting and replacing all my backups, is there any easy way of just appending my keywords and rankings to all the untouched files on my second drive?
    Note.. All images retain their original ID numbers exactly as shot and I do not use Lightroom.
    Best regards,

    Hi RWSP and thanks,
    So...
    If I understand you correctly, with 'raw files' I can now select and copy (Ctrl+Drag&Drop) just, all the small hidden sidecar.xmp files, from my C drive over to my camera-raw backups on the second drive. This will non-destructively update everything, the keywords, ratings and the ARC processing data, without touching the raw files them selves in any way?
    But for .jpg's I will have to copy-and-replace things with the processed picture files in order to add the key words etc.? In effect overwriting my camera copies with the Photoshop-processed.jpg versions. ...
    Right.  You can copy the xmp sidecar files to your backup.  This will back up the keywords, ratings, acr edit data and (assuming no file name changes) will associate the metadata with the original unchanged raw file.*  SFAIK there is no way to have metadata for jpeg files written to sidecar files; so you're right: you would need to  backup your updated jpegs to preserve the metadata you applied.  But if you're shooting raw, would you have many jpegs files from camera?
    * Note:  The above applies for camera-native raw format files; may or may not be true for DNG native format camera raw files.  Since DNG is designed to be updated with added metadata, it may be that ratings and acr metadata would be written to the original dng files.

  • Adding Metadata to mp4 files to load as "TV Shows"

    I am looking for some help in adding metadata to mp4/m4v files so that they autoload as "TV SHOWS" when imported into iTunes. I have several files so it would be helpful if anyone knows of a way to do batches of files.
    Thanks to the Mac world out there for anyone's help.

    You can set a whole batch of files to "TV Show," but bring them into iTunes first. This is as easy to selecting the batch and running any kind of plug-in on them.
    Videos all go to the Movies category by default, but that's only temporary. Right after you drop them into your library, find them under Recently Added or Movies. Select them all, and press Ctrl-I to Get Info. Change the video kind to "TV Show." Now all of these files will appear in the TV library, but of course you'll have to fill in the series name and season. Those can also be filled in as a batch.

  • Adobe Audition 3.0, saved a multisession, problems adding new files after re-opening

    Hello,
    I have saved a multisession track to continue another time, and now I tried to adding back more files to the multisession, but I get a message "interpret sound format as" and I have to choose the sample rate, channel and Resolution... After I let the setting as default, the track is added but it is messed up cause I don't hear the song anymore... I only hear an annoying noise throughout the whole song. Also when I click on a song to open it, in the right box it says RAW PCM or unsupported format, but I haven't had these problems before when I started to make the multisession!
    It seems something has messed up when I saved the multisession but I can not figure out.
    Does anybody know what I did wrong and how I can fix this?
    Thanks in advance

  • Problems adding Text track to .mov file

    I am having a problem adding a text track to a quicktime file. I want to overlay text onto a PAL DV file. The original file size is 720 x 576 but when I add the text (as per the instructions in the QT Player Help) instead of having the text overlaid, it appears next to the Video image and gives me an image size of 1325 x 577. If I now export this as a "PAL DV" file, QT Player shows the whole 1325x577 frame whilst FCP accepts the file but shows only the video part of the frame.
    I'm running QT 7.4.5 on a MacBook Pro with OS10.5.2. I have tried re-installing QT without success - this maybe because the Preferences seem to stick when upgrading/re-installing (?)
    Any thoughts, help or, better still, a definitive answer to my problem would be most welcome.

    Use the Movie Properties window to size your added text track to match the 720 width.
    For viewing a DVD on a TV size it even smaller (700) and set an offset value of 10 pixels so your text doesn't get cut off during playback.

  • Adding metadata at import --why is this much easier to do in LR?

    Adding metadata at import time is a pain. The presets have helped a bit but Aperture still needs improvement. I have four areas of trouble:
    1. In order to fill out a metadata preset I have to create a new temporary image version or risk changing the metadata for an existing master, fill out the fields, save the preset, delete the temporary version. I can't create a new metadata preset at the moment of import I have to do the steps above in advance of importing.
    2. If i want to have a metadata view that has the 12 fields I use on import but only have 4 fields filled out in advance I can't do that without first selecting the preset then selecting the view with the blank fields.
    3. In the import panel the image Information block, Files Location/filename block and Time Adjustment block take up so much room that on my MBP-15 the metadata block is nearly off the bottom of the screen.
    4. Whatever metadata I use must apply to all images. There is no way to have different metadata for different images at the time of import. This requires me to open the project to add image specific metadata after import or run the import more than once for different images.
    If anyone has workflow solutions or workarounds for theses bottlenecks please let me know. Here is hoping that v2 will improve on these points.

    I guess I had
    a problem with the title of this question.
    Some men see things as they are
    and ask "Why?" I dream things that
    never were and ask, "Why not?"
    --Robert F. Kennedy
    Sorry if I gave offense. I wasn't trying to start a flame war about Aperture vs. LR or whatever-that's not enlightening. I expect that for many years to come Aperture will be my primary digital imaging workspace.
    I am still tinkering with Lightroom and will do so until my demo version expires in 25 more days. I think that Aperture is a dramatically better program than Lightroom. I think that over the next couple of years the gap will widen even further and the advantages of Apple's sound engineering decisions will really start to show up in v2 v3 and beyond.
    Still when I work in the current version of Lightroom I find myself processing images more quickly and spend less time fiddling around with the program's UI than while working in Aperture. I have noticed other posts commenting on the same thing.
    If there are other users who like me love Aperture but find their work going faster in Lightroom doesn't it make sense for us to have a discussion with each other to find out...why?

  • Quicktime movies corrupted by adding metadata in Adobe CS3

    Recently I happened to switch from using Adobe CS2 to CS3 (don't ask me why, I know they're old versions).  I use Adobe Bridge to manage/organize my digital photos and movie files from my digital camera.  In CS2, whenever I attempted to select multiple files to annotate with metadata such as description, location, etc., the program would warn me that "some files" in the selection (i.e., the Quicktime .MOV files) could not contain metadata.  So I would click OK, continue to annotate the batch, and Bridge would simply exclude the .MOV files and only add the metadata to the photos.  When I started using Bridge CS3, I noticed that the warning dialogue box no longer came up.  At first I was pleased, and thought, Great, now it's OK to add metadata to my movies as well!  But not long after, I started noticing a problem where some of my .MOV files were no longer playable, even though they had been fine immediately after download.  Since I only add metadata to about a quarter of my files, it took me a while to see the pattern:  Adding metadata to the .MOV files does in fact corrupt them and make them unplayable in Quicktime.  CS3 was not doing me any favors by suppressing the old warning!  I knew the movies were fine since I had already played them before, but the moment they were assigned metadata, Quicktime refused to recognize the files. 
    Now that I know the problem I am very vigilant about not adding metadata to movies anymore, of course, but I need to salvage the already corrupted movies, since some of them are precious to me, such as my daughter's birthday videos.  I have tried various workarounds such as attempting to convert them to another format with video conversion software, but the conversion software also can't recognize the files now.  The best luck I have had is that I can still play the movies using a program called VLC, so I know the essential data is not ruined, it's all still there.  And when I have tried a couple of diagnostic tools, they are able to extract the images and recognize the file -- but not able to restore it to its original form.  I have also tried deleting the metadata, in Bridge, but that doesn't help.  Does anyone know of a method or a program that can help me restore these as Quicktime files?  It appears that there are services out there that will charge a lot of money to repair corrupted files, but I really think this should not be so hard or expensive.  The integrity of the movies is still there, everything is intact, there's just been a line of code inserted somewhere that shouldn't be there I suppose.  I wish I could get in there and delete it myself.  It's great that VLC has no problem playing them, but as long as these are unusuable as Quicktime files, I can't send them to my family, upload them to video-sharing sites, etc.
    Thanks, anyone, for your help.

    I don't know how to fix what was already modified, but in Premiere Preferences, there is a box that is checked by default, something about "Write XMP data" or similar, you'll want to uncheck that.

  • Problem adding Video to Captivate Slide

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem adding an FLV video file to Captivate. Basically, after I've published to a SWF file, the video doesn't appear on the slide at all. It's just blank.
    After researching a bit, I found that the FLV file MUST include *metadata*.
    However, I added medatada with VLC Media Player, and it still shows the same behavior. Must it include a certain *amount* of metadata? Is there a *type* of metadata without which the video will not show?
    Adobe's Help thread talks about something called the "Flash Video Kit" - is that a stand alone product or an extension of another product? Is it free? Are there any other free alternatives?
    I'm just very confused.
    Thank you!

    I ended up answering my own question. But just in case this helps anyone else, I'm going to post my solution.
    Essentially, I just re-created the video in MP4 format. Then I used MetaZ (for Mac) to write Meta Data to the video. Lastly, I imported the video as an object and when I published the video, Captivate transmuted it to the necessary FLV format.
    Now the video displays properly.

  • Problem adding recordset to a Template page

    I've been having problems adding sql recordset to a Template page, when i set the record the editable region of the template is no longer editable and it begins to be editable everything else, one more thing that happens with the record is that is partially inserted into the body of the php page, i have tried to reinstall wampserver, dreamweaver, delete the folder with the user settings and the registry of dreamweaver but nothing seems to work, the only thing that i haven't tried is delete the folder with the main settings, but i don't think that it is the problem
    sorry for the bad english.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Your library is damaged and my not be able to be totally recovered, i.e. recover albums, slideshows, etc. along with the photos.
    If the original files for your photos are inside the library package (even if iPhoto can't display them) the following should create a new library with all of your photos. 
    Start over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1.  Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    2. Open the library package like this.
    Click to view full size
    3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    4. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    Click to view full size
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.  Check it out carefully to see if all of your photos are represented in it.
    Your current library will still be available for further fix attempts.
