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.

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.

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...

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.

Adding Metadata to MXF Clips?

How do you do this? I imported a bunch of clip brought over from Sony Clip Browser and I can't add any metadata. What's up? Surely you are able to add metadata to MXF flies, right?
I can do it like normal in MOV files (Canon 7D) and regular EX1 MP4 clips, but not when converted to MXF.

You can add clip metadata that is pertinent to a specific clip, within a given project, but opening that MXF in another project will not result showing up in that new project. Premiere doesn't have the ability to write file metadata to an MXF file from within the Premiere Pro interface; any metadata editing of that sort must be done externally in a third-party application. The benefit of that, however, is that no matter where the file is imported, the metadata is readable. Read About file, clip, and project XMP metadata and Using clip metadata and file metadata for more background on this.
You should be able to add metadata in Clip Browser, but check that that actually imports into Premiere along with the clip before logging everything; in CS4, at least, that metadata didn't make the trip

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.

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

You know guys if it's possible to write my name in my IpadMini once I already bought it? I mean, in the shop?

You know guys if it's possible to write my name in my IpadMini once I already bought it? I mean, in the shop?

If you mean you wish the iPad engraved, Apple will not do engraving after purchase. You will have to take the iPad to an engraving shop. Having it engraved may reduce the resale value, and since most people keep their iPad in a case or skin you may never see the engraving, and should the iPad ever need servicing by Apple it will probably just be replaced which would of course lose the engraving, so you should really think about whether you really want your iPad engraved.

I want to write the name (label) of push_button in multiple lines.....

I have a push button, I want to write the name of it in multiples lines because its too long so how can we do it... I mean I think there's some coding or any thing else. Just if we want to label a button we take it properties and in the label properties we write its name but if the name is too long then it does not come from the next line..We have to maximize the button so the full name comes....How we can do this thing that the name comes from the next line or in multiple lines....

Also, you could make a text item, with raised bevel and a when-mouse-click trigger:

Hi.
If you've bought it from iTunes, you should be able to re-download it for free.
Download directly from iPod by going to the iTunes Store-App and find the "Purchased"-menu. From here you should get a complete list of all your bought items and the ability to re-download.
Download from iTunes on PC/Mac by opening iTunes > Go to iTunes Store > Go to the menubar on the left and choose "Purchased". Now, from the appearing window select the proper categori on top of the screen.
I hope this was helpful.

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.

Hello Ferdinandino
Useful function modules are:
RS_PRINT_SELECTIONS
RS_LIST_SELECTION_TABLE (Generates list according to values in selection table(RSPARAMS))
RS_REFRESH_FROM_SELECTOPTIONS (Current contents of selection screen)
Function module RS_REFRESH_FROM_SELECTOPTIONS can provide the input for function module RS_LIST_SELECTION_TABLE.
