Unable to edit Metadata and Date Created for file

  • March 1, 2018

I am using Adobe Bridge CC 2018, latest update as of 1 March, 2018:

I am unable to edit my metadata on .mts files.  I have tried purging the cache but just can't get those little pencils on the right indicating I can edit the files.  Have spent hours trying to figure it out with no success.

Any suggestions?

Also my date created dates have changed and are not the dates the files were actually created.  How can I fix this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Video files have limited metadata support, even for ExifTool let alone Bridge.

    Hi All,

    We have released a new version of Adobe Bridge (CC 2019) on 15th October 2018. The new version build number is 9.0.0.204. This version is available to install via Adobe Creative Cloud application.

    This Bridge update contains support for editing capture time of images (https://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/preview-compare-images-bridge.html#Edittheimagecapturetime).

    Please check following link to know about all new features in Adobe Bridge CC 2019 - https://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/whats-new.html

    You may need to update the Creative Cloud application and restart your computer to see the updated installer.

    Thank you - you are right!

    I have found out that Bridge does not support the Sony AVCHD (.mts) video format for metadata editing.  When I converted the format to Apple ProRes 422 or GoPro Cineform then I had access to edit the Metadata.  Problem solved.

    The other problem I posted about the creation date is also solved.  Windows updates the creation date of a file anytime it is copied to a new folder.  Then you don't have access to the real creation date - ie, the date the video was actually shot.  The way around this for me is to start putting the real creation date in the name of the file where it will remain no matter what you do with the file.  Of course, this applies only if you don't subsequently change the name of the file.

    Kindest regards,
