Adding searchable IPTC information to video in Bridge

[kathlynd29379127]

Hello, I had read an old post that indicated it was possible to use Bridge to add IPTC information to a video file so that it was searchable along with all my images, based on traditional caption, keywords, etc. I just added some to a .mov file and clicked the "apply" icon but the information doesn't appear to surface in a Mac finder or Sporlight search or in other imaging programs like Photo Mechanic. Any way to accomplish this?

Hi there,

Please have a look at this article to know how you can add IPTC info to a video in Bridge: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/bridge/using/metadata-adobe-bridge.html#add_metadata_using_the_file_info_...

Also, what version of Bridge and the Operating System are you working on?

Regards,
Sahil

Sahil, thanks very much. I'm operating on Mojave presently. I also did discover that Photo Mechanic from Camerabits also can add an XMP sidecar to files which is searchable. Thanks again and happy holidays

Some video formats support XMP data and some don't. If it isn't working in Bridge, you can try EXIFtool to see if that works.

Got it and thanks much. I think I have a make-do solution while video becomes more part of a standard photo editing workflow.
