GPS Meta Data Plugin -> Display on Video/search

Enthusiast ,
Jun 09, 2025 Jun 09, 2025

I am looking to see if anyone knows if there is a plugin that will take the GPS data meta data from a video clip, and both/either show you the meta data (and friendly location name (city/country eta least) within premier project window, and/or this data can be used to convert to a map location name to display on your video (hopefully by just dragging it on to the video), and for bonus points, the option to show a small map from google with the pin for the location.

 

Here is an example of the data embedded into the iphone video:

+24.9913 +121.5849 +126.715

 

And a converter tool as apparently google maps doesn't like that format:

GPS Coordinate Converter, Maps and Info

 

Thansk in Advance for any direction you can provide

 

Added:

Premier can show the Metadata in EXIF from the video file,  I just need a way to convert this to a city name without cutting and pasting each location into google,   some sort of plug in that lets you map it, and display city name etc would be idea:  It seems EXIF suports the GPS AREA INFORMATION, but for some reason the Iphone doesnt record that data.

Maybe its a two part process where a seperate tool can scan the video files before, and add the GPS Area Information text for premier, and then premier can us ea plugin to display the city name as an overlay, or a better way maybe....  looking for ideas.

 

The Metadata burnin effect, sounded promising, but it doesnt have the GPS EXIF data expoused for burnin, which without the GPS Area Information 'text friend' name data populated in the field is not ideal anyway, but its much closer that whats needed if that data could be procossed into the video clip before importing at least.

I think I was able to use the EXIFTOOL to read, and apply metadata back into the file that gives the friendly text based name;  but it doesnt show up in premier.

 

Command I ran was:

for /R . %f in (*.mov) do exiftool -overwrite_original -geolocate^<gpsposition "%f"

It seems to add the follow data at the bottom of this screen shot:

Oriignal data for the same file, doesnt have it:

Premier metadata fields dont seem to line up with this field to be displayed in premier, and thus metadata overlay fetaure has no chance of helping me (still looking for 3rd party tool that doesn all this within premier would be idea).

Thanks

I made some process,  turns out the EXIF Data that exif tool creates is pushed into the Adobe Photoshop fields:

 

This is now how it appears:

and here is the metadata flags to enable so its visable for it:

The Metadata burn effect still cant select this data to overlay into the video, so working on a solutiuon for that currently, or hopefully someone points me another direction to make this easier to get the overlays to work.

I don't mind either way,  I'm still looking for a solution, got close, but really hoping someone knows what that last missing piece is to complete this puzzle and allow for the metadata to be displayed on the screen....  I have 1000's of videos where I could use this, clips that's  a few min long and this would be  huge time saver.

 

Maybe it makes sense to have it as a feature request, as this would be very handy to have the GPS data pulled and turn into text within premier.   IT would benefit the visual search tool also; like if I want all the clips from Korea, for example...  half the time I don't know the names of all the "places" (aka how to spell them properly etc) so this could help if it was an enhancement to visual search (I could see the metadata, and know how to to search fro the right terms).

 

I leave the decision to your judgement.
