I'm currently working to see how I can extract some camera information (ISO, White Balance etc) from the MOV file and add MacOS finder tags to the file
So far I have this working:
exiftool "-MDItemUserTags<ISO" P1000001.MOV
exiftool "-MDItemUserTags+<WhiteBalance" P1000001.MOV
This proceeds to add two Finder tags to the file, one being '400' and the other 'Manual' which is great. However ideally I would like to prefix the values with meaning for titles for example 'ATA400' and 'WB-Manual' or something along those lines
Looking online and the documentation I 'think' something like this should work:
exiftool "-MDItemUserTags=ATA <${ISO}" P1000001.MOV
exiftool "-MDItemUserTags+=WB_<${WhiteBalance}" P1000001.MOV
But after a couple of hours I'm lost
Anyone?
Close. Try this:
exiftool "-MDItemUserTags<ATA${ISO}" "-MDItemUserTags<WB${WhiteBalance}" P1000001.MOV

Thanks (very much!) for the reply Phil
I've tried what you've suggested (even just the first part to set the ATA aspect), however and its coming back with:
(Code used)
exiftool "-MDItemUserTags<ATA${ISO}" /Users/Richard/Desktop/P1000001.MOV
Warning: No writable tags set from P1000001.MOV
0 image files updated
1 image files unchanged
Ah. You're on Mac. You need to use single quotes instead of double quotes. (See my signature.)
But you'll also get this message if ISO doesn't exist in the file. Use exiftool -s FILE to see the available tags.

Working now :)
Thank you, epic!
