I'm working at a production company trying to get about 15 TB of video footage archived and keyworded to make them searchable. Up until now, they've been working with Final Cut, so I've been doing tagging and other metadata edits in Kyno and Neofinder. Now they're switching to Adobe, so I want to find a way to make this work with Bridge and Premiere (and possibly Prelude).
Most of the files we have are in .MTS or .MP4 format, which I understand doesn't support metadata being written directly to the file. When I edit in Neofinder, it creates an XMP sidecar file for the metadata, but the problem is Bridge and Premiere seem to ignore this metadata. Does anyone know a way to make this work? Right now the only solution I can think of is converting everything to .mov which will make the files much larger and create problems for the company with storage and budget.
Thanks for any suggestions.
