Unlike images, other file types do not (yet) have a standardized set of metadata fields. As such, we have created some basic fields to help make other files searchable and discoverable while they are stored in PhotoShelter for Brands, just like your image files. You can apply and edit the following metadata fields for video files:
- Description/Caption
- Title
- Keywords
Please note: You cannot edit other file types (or mixed image and other file types) metadata in batch. Non-image file metadata is not embedded in the file when downloaded from PhotoShelter for Brands.
Batch-Edit Video Metadata
When viewing a gallery or file search results in the center pane, select multiple video files
- Note: if a selection contains mixed file types, this Batch-Edit Video Metadata workflow is not possible; deselect non-video file types in order to proceed
Click into the Actions menu & select the "Edit video metadata" option
To update Metadata for selected files, first, unlock the field(s) you wish to edit
- Unlock all fields or lock all fields with a single click
Any text added to a field that is locked before saving will not be added to selected files
Add to existing video metadata
Any text added to unlocked fields will be appended to the end of the video metadata fields for the selected files.
Overwrite existing video metadata
Any text added to unlocked fields will replace the metadata for the selected files
If a field is unlocked and empty, the saving will effectively delete the metadata for the selected field on any selected files
- NOTE: there is no "undo" button
Delete video metadata in batch
Select video files in the center pane, click into the Actions menu, and select “Edit video metadata”
Unlock fields to be deleted, select “Overwrite existing metadata”, and save.
- NOTE: there is no "undo" button
