It's 2020. Where are the basic metadata columns?

Using Adobe Premiere 14.3.2!!!!

 

I am trying to add a metadata column for audio tracks! The total number of audio tracks my WAV files have! It does not appear I can do that! No column exists in Adobe's bizarre metadata display browser that will let me display the total number of audio tracks in a given file. WHY?! WHY IS IT SO HARD TO IMPLEMENT BASIC METADATA FEATURES???

 

On top of it, a metadata column that displays what codec my video is using STILL DOES NOT EXIST!!!

 

THIS IS LUDICROUS

PREMIERE IS A JOKE

 

 

As seen in Premiere Pro:

 

 

As seen in Davinci Resolve:

You can add (from the AS-11 section at the bottom of the list) the Video Codec ... but that doesn't seem to "populate" with any data from my mov, braw, or other video files.

 

Yea ... with what, 300+ options for metadata columns, you'd think that video format/codec and audio channels would be available. Weird.

b3,

Right click any column to bring up > Metadata Display. Search for any that you want display and enable them.

Kevin, yes, you would think this is the logical thing to do. So I did that first. But there is not a single checkbox I can check that will give me this very basic info regarding number of audio channels and/or codec used.
