Metadata for mp4 lost after export in Lightroom

I'm relatively new to Lightroom and have a problem that I hope someone can help me with. I'm editing raw photos in the Developer module as well as giving each photo and video (MP4) a rating (1-5). Afterwards I exports the videos and photos giving consecutive numbers to all videos/photos.

My problem is that the ratings for video files are lost in the exported video files.

I Know I can give videos ratings afterwards in the Library module, but not being able to do it before export ruins my workflow.
I have enabled "Automatically write changes into XMP" in the Catalog Settings.

Can someone help me?

Kind regards,

Klaus

Unfortunately, LR doesn't have the capability of writing video metadata to the exported video or an .xmp sidecar.  Please add your me-too vote and detailed opinion of why you want this to this feature request in the official Adobe feedback forum: Lightroom: Read and write video metadata into video or sidecar | Photoshop Family Customer Community . That will make it a little more likely Adobe might implement it sometime before the next ice age.  (Adobe product developers don't participate in this forum and won't see your post here.)
