Saving metadata to file "grayed out" for all of my video files (mov mp4 )

This is the first time in my Lightroom history that I've worked with video files, I was hoping that somebody might be able to help me figure out why I can’t save metadata to any video format.

 

Command + s doesn’t nor does Metadata / Save Metadata to File (which is grayed out). The files were created with Photoshop / Premiere Pro / iOS and is the case with any video format.

 

I would appreciate any advice or guidance on how I might be able to solve this problem. Thanks in advance - CES.

LR's support for video metadata is poor, and Adobe never implemented saving metadata into video files.  You'll need a plugin: jb Video Metadata.

Seems this is still a problem for Mac users, however with windows is creates a sidecar file. 

Considering the price point on this software, its pretty bad that this is still an issue.

You'll need to contact the plugin's author privately, He's usually very responsive.
