Hi,

I'm completely new to ExifTool. I got lots of images with a custom xmp tag looking like that:
StudioLine:Description="Description goes here"

I want to copy that tag into the default description tag for xmp
<dc:description>
            <rdf:Alt>
               <rdf:li xml:lang="x-default">Description goes here</rdf:li>
            </rdf:Alt>
         </dc:description>


without manually having to do so.
Is that possible with ExifTool and if yes, could you help me with that?

Thank you very much!

Paul

Run this command on the file to see the actual location of your Studio Description (FAQ #3)
exiftool -G1 -a -s -Description file.jpg

You'll see something like this
[XMP-dc]        Description                     : Description goes here

Take the part in the braces on the left and replace GROUP in the command below with that value
exiftool "-Description<GROUP:Description" /path/to/files/
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).

What was the group name that exiftool displayed?  I don't think I've seen StudioLine tag before.

It is [XMP-StudioLine]. We used https://www.studioline.net/EN/ for photo organisation but are looking forward to moving to other applications.
