Adding keywords to mxf files

[Pablo Apiolazza]

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.

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.

Hi Pablo,

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