Metadata & Timecode Burn-in FX future update to allow XMP tags for City, State, Country
I have been attempting to use this effect to display Metadata burnt into the video;
Specificaly, I had the EXIF tool wrote Metadata into the source Media for location and recorded/created date.
I think there is a bug in the effect; many fields, will not display in the program monitor, despite there being clear data one can view, and even edit in the project window;
This is the effect setting: (Description will appear Line 1, But Line 2 data will not)
The Project window you can clearly see that there is Data in the Tape Name Field:
The program monitor will properly display Line 1, Description. But many other fields despite being visable in the project metadata viewer will not display/burn in on the program monitor.
Can someone please advise if I am doign this wrong, or if this is a bug thats repeatable for others?

Source Material is Iphone footage. Metadata has been written/updated with EXIFTOOL;
Here is a sample, its not for the exact same clip shown above, but the same data was written the same way to 141 files, I was just lazy to match up the exact same file, but I assure you this happens on all 141 clips.
Also; fields like "comment" also do not burnin, and are blank when used in Premier pro - that would be my ideal field to use, but I am looking for any field I could use right now to allow me to show creation date of the clip as a seperate field from The geolocated data that appears in "description" now.
I am at a loss as to why this is not working, I have created multip projects, and restarted with new clips with clean metadata, and also manualy entered the metadata into the project metadata viewer. No matter how, many fields such as comment, tapename and others do not get burnt into the video. Decription for example works on any line, all the ones that dont work, also dont work on any line within the metadata viewer effect.
I have been tinkerign with this for hours now and I think I have figured out whats going on. It seems that if you update the Metadata with the EXIFTOOL After you import the files, its hit/miss if the Metadata is properly processed. It seems that you have to have all the metadata updated to the clip prior to importing the clips, or it will not work properly, often the metadata is visable in the project metadata viewer, but will not work for the burn in. Sometimes Premier doesnt refreash the metadata from the file, and its not visable anywhere. Even if you close the project and open it again
I also tried creating a new project after all the metadata was applied, and for smaller projects (line 15 clips) the import process works flawless and I can get "description" and "log Notes" to both work; However in imports with more files, my sample was 141 clips, most of the clips fail to have have the metadata appear.
This might have something to do with the background process I have enabled for transcrips and media idetification. I will try at some point to turn those off and import the same sampel set of 141 clips to see if the same issue persists.
Basicaly, there is some unpredicale behavior with the metadata after its imported. There are times where I can update the Metadata, and literaly see the "generating peaks" appear for the clips that are imported, and the new metadata that was written by Exiftool becomes visabl ein premier project fields, but it will not allow the burnin effect to read and display them.
The onyl way to get it to work was to create a clean new project, and then it worked - expect for the potential inteference of the background processes with more than half of the 141 clips I am testing with.
Any advice would be welcome.
