how come i cant find any metadata in premiere that shows me what camera model this footage came from?

See attached screenshots. I've skimmed the metadata window, i've skimmed the "info" window. i've even taken it into adobe bridge and i'm not seeing it.... in the past, with other files, somes there will be an XML file that has a bunch of code that you can sift through to see the camera model but this footage dump didnt come with that.

File name: A002C001_220919_R4P6.mov    Producer says camera is: mini Arri

Many cameras record camera data in their still image headers, but for some odd reason don't in their video file headers. I've got one like that.

 

In Bridge, the stills always show the camera and even the lens data.

 

The video files created by that camera do not carry the camera and lens info in their headers. And yes, I've checked with file header 'reader' apps. It just isn't there.

 

That could be the issue here.

man.... so even though the shooter didnt enable it, the metadata isnt smart enough to know what kind of camera the footage came from?

As Neil suggested, if there are thumbnails (I'm guessing still image headers are the same thing) on the drive that has the video media on it, you may find the meta data on the thumbnail and can extract that information maybe using Adobe Bridge...  Worth a shot. 

 

Every camera is different and the manufacturers don't always make it simple to customize the settings.  Some sony cameras by default with 8 channels of audio which can be a nightmare if you don't understand how to "interpret" the audio when importing into Premiere...   Always a good idea to have a conversation with the DP or the DIT about file formats, etc. before the shoot if possible (and I know it's not always possible, but I can dream can't I?).  

 

 


if i attached this screenshot here, is this the thumbnail that would have the metadata name in the corner???

Did you import it any differently?   There are multiple ways to import footage in Premiere.  for example, when I had a problem with importing scanned clips, I was told to use the media browser...  Didn't make any difference..

might be a camera setting...
