I'm not sure this is the right place to ask, but I feel this is my best option. I have several MP4 files that I will be upload into the data base of a local search engin. I need to add metadata to those video files, including description and keywords (for the search). I did this with photos in Photoshop and it's rather easy. But how can I do the same for the video files? Thanks.
You'll want to open the Metadata panel (if you don't see it next to the Source monitor, you can access it through the Window menu). Select any clip in your Project panel and you'll be able to edit its metadata in the Metadata panel. There are two major sections, Clip metadata and File metadata. Only File metadata actually alters the media file itself. Clip metadata is only saved within the Premiere project file which is probably useless to you in this scenario.
If you don't see the metadata field you're looking for, go to the panel menu and select Metadata Display to access TONS more metadata field.
To be fair, there's little use for the software. There's nothing you can do there that you can't do in PP.
I do think you can add clip comments / markers slightly faster. The way it plays back and allows you to type on the fly while you are watching. Plus you setup some default comments and keys and such, pre-define the length they take up visually, and a few other little things.
I wish they'd work on it and make it better, but IMO it does have some redeeming qualities.
