Can't Batch Edit

I know I'm a little late with this, but I found I can use Bridge, do all the basic editing, camera and lens calibrations and key wording.  That will save the .xmp files and then import everything into Lightroom CC.

I simple use Bridge as the first step of the workflow now. 

Import with Bridge into staging area

Cull in Bridge

Perform basic edits, setting some defaults for Camera Raw

Key Word

Import into Lightroom CC

Delete originals from staging area

Since this is the Lightroom CC forum (the cloud-based Lightroom) there is not a batch editing option available in that program at this time. There is no indication as to when/if that option will become available.
