Hello all - new to the metadata world here, so forgive newb errors. Working with a new video server, and trying to find the metadata values in the DMS fields.  When I run exiftool though, I'm not seeing them.  Any chance i'm doing something wrong?

Ultimately would like them in Adobe Premiere as well, so if anyone knows any workflows that would be helpful.

If it's there, ExifTool should extract it.  Try this command:

exiftool -a -u -G1 FILE

to see all the metadata and were it comes from.

Hey Phil, thanks for your response!

That did display even more MD, but I still didn't see the ones I was looking for...does that mean its not there?

Attached their MD mapping table for reference...I searched for the DMS fields in terminal, but was unable to find them.

Also attached the Exiftool output.

I have no idea what tag names you are interested in.  Is there any way you can write them with known values to search for them in the ExifTool output?

I just tried this...input some text into what should be DMS tag "thesaurusName" but i don't see it on the exiftool output.  Tried the "-s" command as well, but it doesn't appear to be showing up.

If you are sure that the information was written to the file, send the file to me along with details about what you want to extract and I'll see what I can do.  My email is  philharvey66 at gmail.com
