Here is a full example with a standard American copyright notice and no backup file:Įxiftool -overwrite_original -rights="©2012 John Doe, all rights reserved" -CopyrightNotice="©2012 John Doe, all rights reserved" "file name.extension"
#EXIFTOOL VIDEO METADATA HOW TO#
Here is how to add standard copyright information to a file:Įxiftool -rights="Copyright" -CopyrightNotice="Copyright" "file name.extension"īatch metadata editing: Replace the file name with a directory name to modify all files in a directory. The options -EXIF:Copyright and -copyright produce disappointing results in terms of compatibility with standard image managers on Linux. The -CopyrightNotice option also works reliably and populates the ITPC CopyrightNotice field. More details: the -rights option seems to be a shorthand for -XMP-dc:Rights, and definitely a better solution than using the -copyright option, which doesn’t seem to produce readable results by gThumb and Gnome Image Viewer. Add copyright information to image metadata on Linux Copyright Notice and XMP RightsĪfter trying out a lot of metadata tags and testing the results, I recommend using both the -rights and -CopyrightNotice with identical content for copyright information. There are ways around this, such as using an exiftool writer for Lightroom.Īnd if you don’t use Lightroom… Well ignore everything I said Happy to answer any questions if useful.Metadata information can also be exported to an html document:Įxiftool -h. This workflow wouldn’t work if you pointed PhotoStructure directly at your Lightroom media folders as the metadata would be sitting in the Lightroom catalog unwritten to the file. This means I can import a video into Lightroom, which will read and keep the original capture date, GPS coordinates, and keywords I’ve added - and then I do things like convert to h265 or trim in a separate app - and then tell Lightroom that the catalog asset now points to (for example) 1234-trimmed.mp4 instead of 1234.mov.įor me this works because my workflow is then to use a plugin to automatically publish changed media files to my PhotoStructure media folders (not finding PS reliable at picking up changes/delete to existing files, I now do regular PS library rebuilds which take a day or two ). I use Lightroom Classic, which does an initial metadata extraction into its own catalog when files are imported, and treats the media file as an object regardless of whether the underlying file is there or not. If you use Lightroom this is my workflow.
I don’t even open iMovie or FCP X to do this, unless it requires music background or more advance edits.
#EXIFTOOL VIDEO METADATA MOVIE#
For me loosing this information or replacing it with current date/time is unacceptable and while I can deal with date/time by naming my final movie with YYYY-MM-DD_blah.mov schema, the GPS coordinates are hard to “reinsert” back.ĭo you guys have a workflow that solves this? It has to be relatively quick, as in general, I don’t spend more that few minutes combing multiple related clips into one. However, while doing so and exporting this as a “final movie” we are loosing LOTs of metadata like capture time, GPS coordinates, GPS altitude and probably some other (depending on you camera make/model). QuickTime on MacOS can do it, as well as many other programs do. Let’s say I shot bunch of short video clips on a phone and I uploaded them to a computer and I don’t want to have PS to display them as separate 4-5 seconds videos, but I want to stitch these together, as a “story”. I am sorry, this is not directly related to the Photostructure, but I thought to give it a shot here, cause I see so many folks are really into similar topics.
