Searching custom metadata

Hello all,
I have logged a bunch of footage using Adobe Prelude CC and have tagged my clips with custom metadata on ingest. I can search for and filter my clips as expected within Prelude but, upon sending the clips to Premiere I loose that ability. I can see that the custom metadata has indeed transferred over to Premiere via the metadata window but I cannot search and filter as expected.
My two thoughts are I have either logged the clips metadata incorrectly (I used the new CC custom metadata feature on ingest) or I am searching via Premiere incorrectly (through the search bar in the top left of a given bin window).
I am very new to Premiere having jumped ship after a long love affair with FCP 7, so you will have to excuse me if this is a simple case of user error.

Unfortunately, that is just not a work flow that I use or am familiar with. I don't think I can help much with this specific problem, but maybe with a work around.
My own view is that Prelude has very limited usefulness for a single editor. Using only native media, without transcoding, I don't think there's anything Prelude can do that PP can't do itself, so I just don't see the purpose of a single user spreading the work out between two different programs. Where Prelude makes sense is when you have an assistant editor, who can make selects and rough cuts in Prelude for the editor who does the real work in Premiere Pro. With two people working, then it makes sense to spread the load out to two programs.
The point I'm working towards is why not just add your keywords right in Premiere Pro?

Searching Custom Metadata in Bridge

Any assistance with the following would be greatly appreciated.
In Bridge, is there a way to search within custom metadata fields that we have defined using the Find option? In the Find menu, under Criteria, I currently only have the option to search for "All Metadata" (too broad) or by predetermined custom fields like "Altitude, EXIF Color Space, Exposure, etc.". In other words, is there a way for Bridge's Find option to see the custom fields that we have defined in our custom xmp panel? Currently, I can't specify for Bridge to search within a single, custom metadata field.
Thanks so much.

I have the same question. I have a custom panel created and I'd like to choose my custom panel in the criteria menu in the find diolog box.
Any help would be appreciated!

Searching Custom Metadata in Bridge - Urgent!

Hi,
Any help with the following would be greatly appreciated. I have created a custom xmp metadata panel that I am using for assets for a client. In Bridge, is there a way to use the Find tool to search for my custom metadata fields (as compared to the "All Metadata" search or generic metadata category searches)?
Also, is there a way to save these searches for future use or set up a filter based on custom xmp metadata? Similar to how Bridge's built-in keyword filter works but for custom metadata. It would be great if this could work similar to the current filter palette instead of using the Find tool every time.
Thanks so much!
Josh

Just was looking for this same functionality - was hoping I could add items to the filter and save them out as you were mentioning...

Help with searching custom metadata tags

I have written a Photoshop JavaScript for my employer which allows my users to enter custom information into metadata fields. My intention was to use Bridge to create a searchable asset management system for these files. However, I am running into several problems in allowing my users to search for images with the criteria that they are looking for.
My first thought was to create my own search dialog which then looks for files whose metadata matches the search criteria. I was able to do this and return an array of thumbnail objects, but to my surprise there does not appear to be a way to create a new window which shows these thumbnails? (without creating a new folder object and copying the files there which would tie up too many resources.)
My next thought was to create a custom namespace/panel for my metadata. This also works up to a point. I cannot seem to get my custom metadata fields to show up in Bridge's search or filter areas. I see the SDK example for creating search conditions for a custom node, but how can I modify search conditions for "normal" nodes (folders)?
I'm sure that many of you have run into these issues, there are several posts in this forum and others from people with similar questions. I'm not seeing much in the way of answers, however. Any information would be much appreciated.

I am no expert, in fact a total beginer with Bridge scripting.
I have also found that it a problem displaying the required thumbnails. To get around this problem I have used the label rating, changing all the thumnails I don't wont to reject.
IE:
var items = app.document.visibleThumbnails;
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++){
var md = items[i].synchronousMetadata;
md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/";
if (md.Keywords != "") items[i].rating=-1;
This will only show thumnails that do not have keywords so long as the view "Show Reject Files" is not ticked.
I suppose if you used the rating you could copy them into a field that you could restore from.
As for the sorting I haven't done much with that except this sort of code should work on custom metadata.
new SortCriterion("MyDateSort", "date", "http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/", "CreateDate");
var mySortObj = {};
mySortObj.name = "MyDateSort";
mySortObj.reverse = false;
var mySortsArray = [];
mySortsArray.push(mySortObj);
app.document.sorts = mySortsArray;

Custom Metadata is not in Search Result result set

Hello. I have created a custom metadata xDAMAuthor. I have used it in a rule for check-in profile. Also have check-in a content by filling this field. Now the search form has this metadata as one of its field and I can search by using this field, also the search result returns the aforesaid content which I have checked-in. When I am looking into the SOAP format of the GET_SEARCH_RESULTS then that metadata is not there in the row of the SearchResults resultset. But if I see the SOAP format of the DOC_INFO of that content the DOC_INFO resultset contains that metadata. How can I solve the problem?
Note: In the Admin Applet->Configuration Manager->Information Fields, Enable for Search Index is checked for this metadata.
Thanks.

the search result returns the aforesaid content which I have checked-in
And do you see you metadata in the results? I guess you don't. Unless you followed http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e10797/c03_finding_files.htm#CIHEFHAI and created a custom search result template.
I am sure that GET_SEARCH_RESULTS have all the metadata from returned items somewhere (probably in a result set), but I'm not sure what's returned - it could be very well the row as you see in the browser. Therefore, you might tried to use your custom search result template in your call (in fact, I think for a user always the default one is used).
Should be easy to give it a try.

Search framework folders by custom metadata

Hi,
I need a way to search the files in framework folders by custom metadata. The number of returned results might be ranging from 3000 to 4000. We are using OracleTextSearch as the default search engine for our environment. I am using the below code which is failing
            binder.putLocal("IdcService", "GET_SEARCH_RESULTS");
            binder.putLocal("QueryText",
                            "xenterprise_request_number <matches> `1234` <AND> xParentFolders <matches> `8C3002F394F3A70A44E3DB807921E8A4`");
            binder.putLocal("SearchEngineName", "DATABASE");
Appreciate your help in this regard!!

Accessing Content Server custom metadata in search results

Hello,
Is there way to access custom metadata from the Webcenter Spaces search results page? I'm trying to customize the searchResultsFragment.jsff page to have certain results' url be created differently depending on their custom metadata.
I've noticed that each result is stored in a variable called "row" and attributes of that variable are accessed with row.title, row.authors, row.comments, etc. Is there a list somewhere of attributes that can be called from row?
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

I think this depends on how you're calling the webservice. if you're using the 11g-method of using the Generic service, it should work ootb. If you're using the 10g-method, then you need to update the soap service's response params to include your custom metadata. OOTB it has a complex type that only includes some standard metadata, but no custom.

XMP Custom File Info panels vs. Custom Metadata

Sorry if this question is a little confused, but I don't exactly know what I am talking about yet.
I use Rob Cole's custom metadata plug-in, which is great as far as it goes. As I understand it, it is a way to create custom data fields in the Lightroom database, give them labels, and manipulate and sort images according to those values. It is very useful for what it is. However, where it shows its seams is when you want to edit an image outside of Lightroom and then import the image back into Lightroom (for instance exporting the image, or editing it in Photoshop). In that case there is no way to get the data in the original into the derived copy except by doing it by hand, which can be very labor intensive if you, say, export a few hundred or a few thousand images. And, of course, you can only see the custom metadata in Lightroom, since it doesn't live in the file.
If I understand it correctly, "Custom File Info panels" for xmp data should just solve this problem. You would define your data, and it would be understood by "standard Adobe applications". A brief search of the web does not indicate that Lightroom is one of these "standard Adobe applications", so I assume that while I can use these panels in Bridge and in Photoshop, the data would not be available to me in Lightroom?
Any insight?
Thanks

Better ways:
1-1 or 1-many:
(on the file menu: plugin extras) which brings up:
If you want to do "many to many-others-like-them", you have to use a different plugin, like Relative Antics..

Many of us are hoping Adobe enhances Lr to provide better support for custom metadata - as you've noticed, Lightroom is not one of those "Standard Adobe Applications" referred to in the above link.

Custom Metadata for Microsoft Word

Since Microsoft Word has a limited property/metadata fields and there is no budget to purchase a document management system, I am thinking of storing custom metadata fields in a XML file or a database.
Can Ultra Search be configured to search the Word documents by full-text and metadata fields? If so, how?

You should start by downloading the Acrobat SDK and building the sample plugins. This is C/C++, there is no support for .NET.
Next you will need to read the relevant section of ISO 32000-1:2008 (the PDF standard) or a book such as “Developing with PDF” (from O’Reilly). This is required to understand how the PDF file format and objects work.
Finally, you can then start looking at the SDK documentation around the Cos and PD layers to apply to what you need to do.

Retrieve a list of different values of custom metadata field of an UCM connection

Hi
I am planning to create a custom search document functionality for my UCM and Portal integration. Basically, I am planing to create CMIS queries dynamically. In order to create the CMIS query, I need the possible values of custom metadata for the user to select from and through a backing bean construct the cmis query based on this selection.
I have created a custom metadata field (lets say, 'KindOf'). So I want to show the user a list of all possible 'KindOf' values, so user selects the values he wants and I use those values to build the cmis query and show the results.
What is the easiest, best practices, how would you do it, way of achieving this?
I have little experience with UCM.
Regards

Hi,
As rightly pointed out by jiri machotka, you want that option list .
if you create a option list metadata, you have to publish schema to get the values. You can do it by two ways:
1) Wait for the event which publish the schema automatically.
2)Select "Publish schema" in the options menu of the Configuration Manager.
Some good implementation info about searching can be found at - Students at Oracle: UCM: Creating search and check-in profiles with custom metadata
and http://www.slideshare.net/heikim/effective-strategies-for-searching-oracle-ucm
Otherwise if you want faceted search or something near to enterprise searching capabilities, then go for enterprise search engines.
I have recently worked on Enterprise Search Engines on various CMS products for better,intuitive and relevant search results.
Hope, above information can help you out.
Regards,
Hoque

Custom metadata fields?

I'm trying to find a way to create custom metadata fields so I can better organize my footage. For example, say I'm filming a bunch of old cars, and I want to sort them by make and model, obviously there's no make and model field by default. I've read articles that say this is possible, but I can't seem to find a way to do it. Thanks!
Edit: And related to that, is there a way to delete any of the metadata fields? Since I'm doing video, I'd rather not have to scroll through things like Album and Artist, etc. Thanks.

In the Metadata panel open the flyout menu in the upper right and choose "Metadata Display..."
Now you can turn off the metadata schemas you're not interested in seeing.
Now click the New Schema button.
Give your new Schema a name.
Now click the Add Property button next to your new custom schema.
Give it a name, like "Make", of type "Text".
Then do the same again for "Model".
Now you can select a set of clips all of the same make then enter what you'd like into the "Make" field and that metadata will be applied to the selected clips.
This is searchable, so in the Project panel you can search for the text you've entered into one of these fields and only clips containing that metadata will appear in the list (next to the search box Prelude reports "(filtered)" to let you know you're not currently seeing all of your clips.
I hope this helps!

Custom metadata interface definition is not valid

I have a new problem :(
When I trying to import data objects from MySQL platform I have a subject error message: Custom metadata interface definition is not valid.
In google search havn't result
What this error means and how to fixing?
I'm looking this post Re: Metadata import from ms sql server: Custom metadata interface not valid.
1) JDBC driver in /owb/lib/ext directory
2) Test connection after platform creation is good
but when I executing sql sripts such like:
select name,viewtype from owbsys.cmpwbmivview_r where mivdefinition in
(select mivdefinition from owbsys.cmpinstalledmodule_r where name = 'MySQL');
no result
I creating my platform using this script: http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/resource/platform_mysql.tcl

Can you try ...
select name,viewtype from owbsys.cmpwbmivview_r where mivdefinition in
(select mivdefinition from owbsys.cmpinstalledmodule_r where name = 'MYSQL');
Sounds like something went wrong somewhere and you may need to delete the mysql locations, modules and then platform - then recreate.
Cheers

How to add a custom metadata to a file In UCM?

I am new in UCM. I have just installed and configured environment. My default configuration includes a file store for documents and a database for a metadata and search functionalities. I want to add content profiles to define the custom metadata options available during check in and searching. But I cannot find it in the administrator’s documentation.

Congrats on the new UCM instance.
in addition to the docco links from Kent you can do a quick and easy field add this way:
1) log in to your system as sysadmin
2) in your top menu (or tray menu if you have that layout) select Administration > Admin Applets
3) launch the configuration manager applet
4) click the add button near the bottom of the Information Fields Tab
5) give your field a name (this will be inserted into the database and automatically prefixed with an "x")
6) decide the data type, default values, if it is an option list or not, field label (what will appear on the search, check in and info pages unless superceeded by a profile rule and label) etc.
7) click OK and be sure to click "update database design"
You are on your way.
Remember, metadata design can be daunting if you look at it at its entirety. But if you break it down into small chunks like above, it becomes easy.
As far as profiles and rules go think of it all like this:
Metadata sits at the core (created/defined like above).
Profiles group metadata fields that go together and one metadata field may be in many groups.
Rules govern how metadata fields or even groups of fields should behave (hide / show / label change / automatic value derivation etc)
Hope this helps
Warmly,

Person search to metadata field with search REST API on SP2013 online

Hi!
I'm developing a sandbox solution to be deloyed on SharePoint 2013 online. This solution contains a web part for a custom functionality. I have a need to make a query against data in user profiles based on two custom metadata properties (mapped to termsets).
Is it possible to create this kind of query by using search REST API (with javascript)? So I need all persons whos metadata field
MyOwnTerms contains specific value(s) passed to search?
I can get all users with /_api/search/query?querytext='*'&sourceid='B09A7990-05EA-4AF9-81EF-EDFAB16C4E31'very (if i set the rowlimit to very high) and the results contains my cystom field
MyOwnTerms but there is too much of results to loop through just for filtering. I cannot reduce rowlimit because I need ALL the persons with certain metadata value in this field. Is there any way to make this work?
.Ana

I went through the same problem and yes it is possible. In my case, I created a Managed Properties specific to my site column metadata, and assign the value only the label of the column metadata for this managed property. So it returns only the value of
the name and not the metadata ID | Name as the default.
So, just move on selectproperties the name of your managed metadata, so it returns the correct value.

Custom metadata in Spotlight?

If you open Spotlight using Ctrl+F, you get an interface for advanced queries. Under "Kind", you can select "Other..." and Spotlight opens a list of "search attributes". It's a long list but of course not complete.
Question: is there a way to add custom metadata attributes that can be read by Spotlight? I am willing to get my hands dirty with plists and such, or perhaps there is some freeware add-on that can facilitate this?
Here's the usage scenario:
1. I can create a new search attribute for OS X files -- let's call it "foo".
2. I can attach the value "bar" to the metadata attribute "foo", e.g. for the file "myFile.txt".
3. I can write an AppleScript that takes a file name as a parameter and returns the value of the "foo" attribute. I.e., I give it "myFile.txt" and I get "bar" as the result.
4. I can use spotlight to search for "bar" and get all files with this metadata.
5. (Optional) I can use spotlight to search for "foo:bar" and get "myFile.txt".
I have looked at a bunch of things on the Net (OpenMeta, SpotMeta, etc.) but I haven't found anything yet that will do this.
Any suggestions?
TIA

Why not just use your hypothetical attribute "foo" (so long as it is unique label) as tag your files in the Spotlight Comments. Then Spotlight will find all files with this "attribute". But best use another nonce word like "foophotosofmydog" that will be completely unambiguous.
I am searching for alternative to Spotlight since, under some peculiar circumstances, the tags become "transparent", i.e. you cannot view them by command-I, but they are still searchable. Consequently, the Comments are scary to me just now.
HoudaSpot appears to be an alternative, since it allows tagging of files using OpenMeta that can be searched b Spotlight, but at I cannot see any native way to create real meta tags in OS X.
