Hey everyone and I thank you in advance for your response. I am hung up on adding metadata back into a folder of files. I used the command:
exiftool -csv "c:\Users\Phil\Images" > "c:\Users\Phil\test.csv"
CSV.pngto download a CSV file of the metadata for a folder of 5 videos. I appended three columns of information into the CSV files od metadata that I would like appended to each video file. However when I use the command:
exiftool -csv="c:\Users\Phil\test.csv" "c:\Users\Phil\Images"
it doesn't update the metadata in the files. Is anyone able to lead me to a positive outcome here?
Thanks in Advance,
Jadynn
You can't make up names for tags. You have to use one that already exist.
For "VideoTitle", you can use Title. But I don't recall off hand anything comparable to your other names. Take a look at the Quicktime tags page (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/QuickTime.html) for something that might be close or that you can repurpose. The tag cannot have a "no" in the writable column to be written.
Oh, WOW. Thank You!!
That makes perfect sense...I should have asked hours ago. Thank You, Thank You StarGeek!!
I should have also suggested that the Quicktime tags you should be looking at would be the ItemList (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/QuickTime.html#ItemList), Keys (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/QuickTime.html#Keys), and UserData (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/QuickTime.html#UserData) tags. These are the most standardized ones. But I was on my way to bed at the time.
Looking closer at these tags, I think maybe ContentID or ClipID might be reasonable for "VideoNumber". Nothing jumps out for "FinalViewCount". If you are not otherwise using Description or Comment, you might put it there.
Thank You for the update StarGeek!!
