P: Copying metadata from videos in no longer working since last update

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

In the past it was possible to easily copy metadata from video files in lightroom classic to an edited copy of the video by using the built-in "Copy metadata..." and "Paste metadata.." functions. Since last patch of Lightroom Classic this does not work anymore. All fields in the copy dialog are empty even if the source video has metadata. However, the copy process still works with pictures. Only video files seem to be affected by the bug.

I've noticed the same thing. It's worked before, but the last couple of updates this hasn't worked. I've made sure that everything is check on the copy window the comes up when you select Copy Metadata, but when I paste, nothing is pasted and it erases anything that was already there. It also does not work if you use Sync MetaData.

It seems to work with photos, it's only videos that copy/sync metadata is not working.

Hello,

The update to Lightroom Classic 9.0 seemed to have solved the problem. Copying metadata from video files works again.
