Video Files IPTC Description

Post by railo »

Hello,
and thank you for this amazing piece of software.
We have a lot of video files with metadata inserted in Adobe Bridge in the field IPTC Core Description. Is Everything search able to look into this?
I tried to add the column IPTC Description but I don't see any information.
Apologies if this has been discussed somewhere else but I haven't found this in the forum yet.
Thank you!

Are you able to show this IPTC Core Description information in File Explorer?

According to Adobe, that data is stored in an XMP sidecar file.

No personal experience, but does the description come up when using Description from the XMP property category instead of the IPTC category?

Mhm,
it's weird because in Bridge it is listed under "IPTC Core", while the same clip inside Premiere Pro the description appears under "Dublin Core" (unless they are the same thing?)

Sorry, that is all I got. Don't use any Adobe products.
Someone else will probably be able to help you further.

Then presumably that tag data is not in the .mp4/.mov itself.

You might throw MediaInfo at the .mp4/.mov & see if it shows the tags?
(I'd suspect not.)

Correct, no tags on Mediainfo.
Would that mean that these description data are stored in Bridge, rather than in the file itself?

Would you be so kind to point me to a different solution to insert description data on a video file metadata, ideally searchable with Everything?
Thanks all
