P: XMP data included in exports with metadata checkedReleased

I have been having an issue for the last several months with some photos exported from Lightroom causing the iOS Photos app to lag and never load the full res version of the image, only showing the thumbnail.This was weird as it only effected some photos, but I never took the time to figure out what the issue was. Tonight I did. I exported the file as i normally do from Lightroom iPad, and saved to device. Ran into the issue with the image not loading and causing issues in Photos. So next I exported a TIFF, and sent it to my mac. Then in macos i converted to jpg, sent that back to my iPad. This file worked fine, no issues. My normal exports always include metadata, as I like the EXIF data to see what camera, lens, etc were used. Next i exported the same file but without metadata. This also worked perfectly in the Photos app. So now I knew something was wrong with the Metadata being produced by Lightroom. So i send the metadata file to macos and use exiftool on the command line to inspect all the metadata and i see this Mask Group Based Corr Mask Masks Dabs: which has so much data, that exiftool wont even print it all on the command line. so next i run a command that shows me the size of all the data in the file and see this:     [XMP] XMP : (Binary data 4099 bytes, use -b option to extract) [XMP] XMP : (Binary data 11888301 bytes, use -b option to extract) [IPTC] IPTC : (Binary data 73 bytes, use -b option to extract) [EXIF] EXIF : (Binary data 12192 bytes, use -b option to extract)     yes, that is 11MB of XMP data. All about masks. In what universe would this be exported by default? When i export meta data i want EXIF data, not this. There absolutely needs to be a toggle added to the metadata export section for XMP data to not be included, or to just never include it at all. This XMP metadata is not only tripling the size of my image for no reason, but is what is causing the Photos app to stop working.     Please do something about this.

Create Custom Automated Macro Function Environment in Premiere ProOpen for Voting

So I'm sure there are a few editors out there who use Premiere Pro and have to face repeated tasks which make workflow inefficient and time consuming.These are tasks a bit beyond the Adobe Keyboard task shortcuts. What am I thinking about? - well within Windows 10/11 there is a Power Automate application that lets you automate certain repetitive tasks within the Windows environment, whether it is Desktop Automation or repetitive Data manipulation/export etc. Within the Adobe Premiere Pro editing environment you could use keyboard Macro recorders but these are limited as you also need Playhead information, Mouse co-ordinates (eg for locating clips) etc So the Idea is to have the ability to create a 'Custom Record function' for your own Macros that you can use on selected clips.In Premiere itself you should be able to know which video tracks are targetted, mouse selecting which clip etc. As an example - A few days ago I posted a thread about trying to reduce Flicker on footage I had taken in the US on my 4K 50fps footage.I came across a technique on You Tube which basically duplicated the clip on the two Video Tracks above offsetting each clip by 1 and 2 frames. Then changing their opacity individually. Finally Nesting and sharpening slightly.On the project I am working on  I have quite a few clips on a sequence I took in St Louis Cathedral where lighting was very difficult to completely eliminate flicker. The technique described above worked very well for me but I am now faced with the task of repeatedly applying these manual tasks on all individual clips that are affected. Very time consuming.Copy/Paste Attributes just won't cut the mustard on this. So Adobe Product Engineering - do you think a Custom Automated Macro record function within the Premiere Pro editing desktop workflow environment could be implemented to reduce time wasting and improve editing efficiency?Please upvote if you think a Custom Automated Macro function within Premiere Pro for your own specific repeated editing tasks would help you in your workflow.
