![]() ![]() Worse, the IM clipboard 'Paste Attributes and Data' doesn't seem to paste all of the XMP data such as Location, GPS, keywords and dates into that new XMP sidecar file. That may be by design, but it means I have to add some metadata in an IM metadata template to create an XMP sidecar file before I can use IM to copy XMP metadata to the target file. mp4 file doesn't create a corresponding XMP file. mov file (copied from the camera, but with metadata added in IM) to a new (derived via Shotcut). It appears that using the IM clipboard to copy XMP data from a. aren't sufficiently aware of metadata to recognize what metadata I've added. This is mostly for my own purposes (especiallyt to keep videos together on the Timeline) because other programs/websites/etc. My intention is to copy metadata I've added in IM to edited videos. What do you mean with "not so well" exactly? the QuickTime format has a date create and creation date, and these often differ.! I had to add an extra option for the next to allow a user to tell IMatch which "created" date in his/her files is more right. As we have learned in a recent thread here in the community, it may even depend on which Apple device you use, if you synch to the Apple cloud etc. Not only is there no standard, but companies like Apple deliberately make it often futile to figure out a timestamp. The metadata mess(TM) in video files is much worse than in image files. See How IMatch uses Date and Time Information IMatch does its best to determine the most suitable timestamp for videos and then fills the XMP date and time from it. There is no standard for how to map between the various metadata that can be found in some shape in some video files. Apple only uses this format so they can save space in their cloud and use smaller memory components in their phones to cut cost and increase revenue. But this saves Microsoft royalty payments for users who don't use HEIF on Windows 10. You need to install a free add-on for that from Microsoft. Not even Windows supports HEIF out-of-the-box. It's good that ExifTool now supports writing to HEC/HEFI files, although this is a disastrous file format in terms of patents and potential royalty payments involved. I shall investigate what Phil means with Enhanced writing capabilities for MOV/MP4 videos. There is no similar mechanic for video files because of a) lack of any standard and b) lack of write support in ExifTool for video files. ![]() IMatch synchronizes these tags back into EXIF and legacy IPTC during write back. Update these timestamps to correctly place your videos in the IMatch timeline a ![]() These tags are filled from IPTC/EXIF/XMP on import and are also the base for the IMatch timeline and the File.DateTime variable and attribute. IMatch uses internally the XMP created/date subject created (you can see these in the default layout in the Metadata Panel). You can add any tag you want to a Metadata Panel layout and update it (unless the tag is specified as read-only by ExifTool). ![]()
