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?

If the camera does not put the information in the file, how is any "downstream" application supposed to be able to guess it?

On my camera, that isn't an option, as it doesn't have options for what meta it records to files. It just does what the manufacturer set it to do.

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...
