Adding keywords to mxf files

Hi, I've been trying to find an answer for this, unsuccesfully.

I want to know if there's a way to add keywords to mxf files with Bridge. It gives me an error when trying to do it normally. Maybe there's a plugin or extension that can manage to do it?

Any help will be appreciated.

    This functionality is not available in Adobe Bridge. However, you can post a feature request for the same by following the link below:

    A (container) video format?

    From memory only MOV and MP4 files readily accept limited metadata, even with ExifTool. Unlike still image formats, video formats are a long way behind when it comes to adding common metadata.

    I can add keywords to all kinds of video formats, including mov, mp4 and mpeg files, even with Bridge. But when I try to add keywords to mxf videos it just doesn't work. I can only add tags with Prelude, which is nice but adding keywords with Bridge is way faster to quickly group and organize footage in a smart way.

    I also tried to add the metadata to the sidecar xml file but no luck. This would really save me time.
