Will FCE automatically log embedded metadata when ingesting QT .mov files?

Hi --
I'm trying to figure out whether to purchase FCE to help in a large project. I am about to create a couple of hundred QT files that I want to bring into FCE for editing. Each file will be tagged (logged) when created to allow searching in ITUNES. The tags reside in the INFO/COMMENTS field in the .mov container.
*Will FCE recognize the QT tags on ingestion? Can FCE automatically populate each file's logs with the appropriate tags?*
Obviously, a yes answer will save a huge amount of work. And, I welcome any alternative approaches.
Much thanks,
Ken

Thx for the quick, helpful and somewhat unfortunate response.
Any chance it works the other way, i.e can tags/log info be exported to the source .mov file.
Am I missing some other strategy to share tags/logging between FCE (or any NLE for that matter) and embedded metadata in the source files (QT in this case)
Again, thanks for the help.
Ken

  • Computer will not automatically log into AirPort Network

    I have a MacBook Air, running OS 10.7.5.  It will not automatically log into my AirPort Extreme, running Version 7.7.2 (I have to affirmitevely go in and choose my network every time I wake the computer up or open it).  Another computer in my home, a Toshiba, has the same issue. 
    The Mac will automatically log in to other networks that I regualrly use (e.g., at work and at friends houses), and the default on the Mac is set for automatic LogIn.
    The iPhones in my home do not have this issue.
    Any suggestions?

    You're not alone.
    I've had this problem since I unwrapped my brand new Mac Pro.
    Even a clean install didn't cure it.
    Read this thread; http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1284484&tstart=0
    My 'cure', which has yet to prove itself over 24hrs, is to:
    Set up a New Location in System Prefs / Network.
    Deactivate all other connectivity options (Ethernet/BT/FW) bar AirPort.
    Move AirPort to the top of the list.
    Uncheck the 'Ask to join new networks' and 'Show AirPort Status in Menu Bar' checkboxes.
    Apply settings.
    I'll discover whether it works tomorrow morning, when I wake up my Mac.

  • When I sync my iPhone 5 to Outlook 2010, the email addresses that I have listed as Email 1 for any given contact in my iPhone will be automatically moved to Email 3 in the Outlook file. Is there a way to fix this?

    iCloud email supports 'plus' addressing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Address_tags
    So your friend could just add '+research' to the username part of your email address, and you setup a rule at icloud.com to put all emails sent to that address into a particular folder.
    For example:
    [email protected]
    There's no way to do it without rules on the server though.

  • Will adding keywords or other metadata changes to jpeg cause file to be compressed?

    Hi, I've been searching on this for hours and not finding a definitive answer.
    Will adding/modifying keywords or metadata (ok if this is two seperate questions)
    cause a jpeg file to be compressed again while the changes are saved to disk?
    thanks for any assistance,
    William

    Thanks for the reply. I am somewhat clearer on exporting and I understand the non-destructive changes concept for LR.
    Maybe a better question would be " Does Lightroom recompress a jpeg when writing to the XMP space in the file?" please correct me if "XMP space" is not he correct term for where keywords are stored.

  • Finder freezes when trying to move files to external hard drive

    Whenever I try to move files from internal hard drive to my external finder freezes it. I have over 5 TBs of free space on my external, so I know it's not a space issue. This happens no matter the size of the file. It starts the copy and then will freeze before it finishes. If I try to force quit and select relaunch it acts like it is relaunching but my icons never re-appear and the command bar at the top never returns. So I end up having to hard boot.
    I just reinstalled the 10.5.8 combo update and verified both hard disks, if any repairs came up I repaired and then did the same with disk permissions....it's still freezing on me. I am frustrated because there are some files I'd really like to move to my external raid hard drive but I'm not able to.
    The freezing happens if I'm trying to transfer files from a disc or an additional external HD. My internal HD is only so big and the external Raid drive is for my capture scratch on Final Cut Pro and I'm even having issues capturing to that drive. Everything wants to be on my internal HD and that doesn't work for me.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Do you get any error messages and if so what are they? Do you have any problems copying files off the problem drive back to your Mac or do the freezes only occur when copying to the external?
    No I don't get any error messages, the finder just freezes and when I try to relaunch finder it doesn't relaunch properly..all icons are missing and I'm not able to access the the task bar to properly shut down so I have to hard boot.
    It happens only when trying to save files to the external, whether through drag and drop or within programs. I am able to access files on the external and copy files from there to my internal without problems.
    Have you tried attaching this drive to another Mac and if so do you get the same issues?
    I don't have another Mac to attach the drive to.
    How is this RAID attached, SCSI, FireWire, SATA or what? How was the RAID created, Disk Utility or third party software and have you verified the integrity of the RAID?
    The RAID is attached via SCSI. In an attempt to solve this finder issue I re-installed the drivers to the most current drivers available and in doing so updated any firmware....and there was no change. I was not the one who set up the RAID so I don't know how it was created. It's an Enhance UltraStore R16 and I've been using it without issues since January 2007 and this freezing thing has been intermittent for a few months now but now it's constant and annoying. I've verified the disk through disk utility but I don't have any software to check the integrity otherwise. Do you have any recommendations as to what software I could use to do this?

  • Premiere Pro CC freezes when processing some .mov files

    I'm new to Premiere.
    I just got some .mov files to be edited.  I'm not sure how they were created.
    When I try to do anything with them Premiere freezes and I have to force it closed and then manually kill Adobe QT32 Sever.exe in order to restart Premiere.
    If I can get a clip to play, the video freezes but the audio plays.
    The Media Pending screen shows in the thumbnails when mousing over the clips in the bin.
    Just importing all the clips into a project will freeze Premiere.
    Quicktime Player plays the files ok.
    Loading the files into  VideoPad results in a 4 second clip. That is, every file ends up being just the first 4 seconds when VideoPad imports it.
    I do not have this problem with other .mov files from a Nikon D3100.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks for your reply, Jeff.
    The MOV files are client provided.  He emailed me today that he recorded them on a consumer camera that created AVCHD files which he converted to MOV through a free utility he found on line.  Sigh. 
    Since Quicktime Player plays the individual files he didn't know there was a problem until they were given to me to assemble into a finshed piece.  As the clip numbers are not sequential, I'm guessing there was a committee who looked at all the clips and chose the ones they want in the final product and only those were given to me. 
    He said he could copy the original files onto a DVD (hopefully he has the entire contents of the chip so I will get all the files that were created as this knowledge base article indicates).
    I tried Handbrake and what I get is a split second of live video which then freezes as the audio plays out. :-(  I, too, suspect the fault is in the multiple video data types.
    Thanks again for your input.

  • Motion 5 Hangs (beach ball) when selecting a movie file in File Browser

    Using the file browser in Motion 5, select a movie file (any type of movie file) Motion hangs. Even occurs when trying to select a folder that contains any movie files. After selecting a movie in about 30 seconds the clip details will appear at the top of the file browser, but the video is never displayed in the small preview window. No problems when selecting any pictures or audio files. Also, can drag any of these same movie clips with the Finder into Motion and they play with no issue. Any ideas?

    Primarily have HD footage that uses the H.264 codec and SD footage that is DV NTSC. Also, have clips I have created with After Effects and rendered out as mov files using the Animation Codec, all have the same problem.
    Further, did not have this issue until after migrating to Lion, all was good with Snow Leopard. But, I can't say that the problem started immediately after the migration. Did not use Motion 5 until about 2 days after I did the migration.
    This is on a Macbook Pro 17in, early 2011, 8GB memory, AMD Radeon HD6750M

  • No video when playing QuickTime MOV file in iTunes

    I received a QuickTime MOV file from a business associate who transferred it from his Canon Vixia HF10 camcorder to his Mac. When I load up the file in iTunes on my Win XP machine, it will play back the audio, but there is no video. When I try to play it back in QuickTime, a window comes up telling me that additional software is needed. When I click the button to go download the software, a browser window comes up listing about 15 different products -- with no indication of which if any will solve the problem. I don't know for certain that any of them will, and I don't have time to download 15 products to test each one. Is there not a more simple way to find out what I need and where to download it? Alternatively, is there a way to convert this file to a friendlier format? This is video of a business event that we need to edit for distribution.

    Thanks. That explains it. The person who made the .wmv file says it was made with Camtasia Studio. Do you have any idea what he might have done for it to choose this MSS2 codec over something more universally compatible?
    Camtasia is a screen capture application for Windows (like Snapz Pro for mac). We use it here, it works quite well but you get WMV files and tough darts, I guess if you want other than that. I presume real time capture of activity on the screen calls for a codec simple enough to keep up and not drop frames. It does work quite well though.
    Play it on WMP in Parallels, Boot Camp, etc.

  • When searching for mov files, they don't show up in Finder

    Okay, so I think I found a good bug. (bad bug). I copied a bunch of .mov files from two CF cards to an external ExFat formatted hard drive. Once I copy, I can see the data on the hard drive. I have two folders: "Card1" and Card2". Again, I can clearly see all of the .mov files if I just manually open the folders. But when I search for the .mov files on the entire hard drive, (for the purposes of counting the number of .mov files I have), only files from one of the folders are found. Even though they are clearly there, and they play, etc. This is quite strange. Any ideas? I'm on Mavericks.

    Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

  • Media encoder inserts black frame at beginning, when converting my MOV file to H264 for YouTube 720pHD

    I'm using Adobe Media Encoder to convert my MOV file to H264, and selecting "YouTube 720pHD" (for Instagram) as I was instructed by someone at Adobe over the phone. But it inserts a black frame at the beginning or end. When I open the converted file on my desktop, the black frame is the first frame. After I upload to Instagram, the black frame is at the end. How can I get rid of the black frame?! Please help!

    Welcome to the furum, Forrest.
    Hmmm. I don't recall hearing of that problem. There may not be many users who can offer a solution.
    This workaround should work, however: Open the exported movie in QuickTime Player and remove the first frame. (I think it's only the first frame that is black, not the first second. Remove all the black, whatever it is.) Save the movie. That may cause QT Player to save it into a new movie. Use the modified movie for your Web site. QuickTime Pro is required — $30 from Apple.
    Note that you've posted in the iMovie 6 forum, not the iMovie HD forum for iMovie 5. There are fewer current iMovie 5 users here. Most were iM5 users, however, so someone might remember this problem.

  • Wrong aspect ratio when export to mov file

    Hi,
    Hoping that you can help me. I've being filming some Hi-def widescreen 16:9 footage which i've want to export to a mov file. However, whatever option i chose, the resutant export gets converted to 4:3.
    I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. Here are the details.
    Original File
    PAL HDV - 1080i 25fps
    Export
    Codec H.264
    Output 1440x1080 25fps Upper 100%
    Source 1440x1080 25fps Upper
    Aspect: D1/DV PAL widescreen 16:9
    Hope you can help. Let me knwo if you need any more information.
    Cheers
    Rob

    Thanks for your input. I think the main issue is that i originally captured the video using another peice of software. These files were 1440x1080 so i was getting 'letter boxing' on the left and right. After doing a lot of reading, i now understand the importance of selecting the correct project setting
    Leading on from this, I'm about to do some more filming and have hired a HDV camcorder (Sony HVR 27p - PAL). It's 1080i and can film in interlaced (25 or 50fps) or progressive. (25fps)
    My questions are:
    The required output playback file (mov file format) needs to be progressive. Should i film in progressive as well, or stick with interlaced and change the output settings when creating the output file?
    If i stick with interlaced, do i film in 50 or 25 as the output file needs to be 25fps?
    Although the camera captures 16:9, the pixels are 1440x1080 (which by all accounts in usual with HDV cameras.) Do i select a project setting whose setup is 1440x1080 or do i use 1720x1080?
    Thanks a lot for your help so far.

  • Crashes when click on .MOV files

    Photoshop Elements crashes whenever I click on a .MOV file.  I tried a power cycling of computer, reconnect files, repair catalog, uninstall/reinstall, deleting and reimporting the files, and no results. The .MOV files were taken on different cameras with different audio and video codecs.  They all play on QuickTime Movie viewer, and can be imported into PRE8.  MP4, .WMV, .AVI and .MPG all play fine.  Any suggestions?   I use a PC with Windows Vista 32 bit, an Intel dual core 2.2 GHz processor, and 3Gb RAM.

    I was looking through some old discussion threads (over 5 yrs old), and one suggestion was to close the properties window first.  That worked!  Why it worked we will never know.  The files continue to open properly even after reopening the properties window.
