Hello,
I'm using geosetter to locate all pictures and videos. When making videos geoseter is not able to add these information within the picture. So it creates a sidecarfile. Now I recognize that I need some mor information out of the file within the xmp file, because most of the application I currently use just look into the xmp fle when exists and ignore the information within the original file.
Now
I would like to have the ability of adding all metadata whitch can be mapped to the exsting sidecarfile.
Question:
I there a way of dong it?
regards
Frank
Hi Frank,
Take a look at the first example on the Exiftool Metadata Sidecar Files (https://exiftool.org/metafiles.html) page.

Thank you Phil,
I looked at the documentation and it does almost this what it should.
I only have two more questions:
When reading a .MOV file with exiftool I see many Information, but when creating an xmp sidecar I just see less information.
--> Is it planned to extract more informastion to the xmp standard?
--> Can I just add new information to an existing sidecarfile without deleting the already exiting information?
regards
Frank

No. ExifTool just copies same-named tags from to XMP, but you are free to copy whatever you want to wherever you want, and even create user-defined tags if you don't find a suitable destination. (with arguments like
"-XMP:TAGNAME<SRCTAG")

Absolutely. Any of the example commands which do not use the
-o option will do this when copying, or you can add assignments to the same command, or add them later with a command like this:
exiftool -XMP:TAG1="value" -XMP:TAG2="value" FILE- Phil
Thanks
