First, I dropped a little "thank you" via Paypal. If the group name (in brackets) is Quicktime, then exiftool probably won't be able to copy it unless it's a and Harvey - Just wanted to update you both and any one else that may stumble across this thread. On a file (replace FILE with the path/name of the file).
You can see what group each piece of metadata belongs to by running the command It can write XMP and a few Quicktime time stamps, but not much else. Exiftool has very limited ability to write video metadata. There is one thing to take note of, though. The -all:all tells exiftool that it is to try and copy all tags. To specify what file to match, the %f variable holds the base name of the file being processed, no extension. The command finds the m4v files in the destination ( \\server\edited\) then looks for a matching file in the source ( \\server\unedited\). I've also included the -ext (extension) option to make sure that only m4v files are processed. The tricky part is to remember that you are processing files in the DESTINATION. To break it down, the -TagsFromFile option format is -TagsFromFile SOURCE TAGS DESTINATION. The basic command would be something like:Įxiftool -TagsFromFile \\server\unedited\%f.MOV -all:all \\server\edited\ -ext m4v
Put simply, not all Metadata is EXIF, but all EXIF data is Metadata. Most often the metadata belongs to the Quicktime group, maybe the XMP group. First, just to clarify some terms, EXIF data is very rarely in video files.
