iTunes has a very detailed technical specification standard that all submitted packages must meet. Each individual encoding house has to do fairly significant and detailed quality control reviews on every submitted asset to make sure that the packages that will be encoded from those sources will be accepted by Apple.

Steps
1. Make sure the file is in an accepted format.

iTunes will play videos that are in the following three formats: .mov, .mv4, and .mp4.

A good test for whether your video will play in iTunes is to try opening it in QuickTime, if you have it. If it plays in QuickTime, you can play it in iTunes.

If your video file is not in one of those three formats, you'll have to convert it. There are a variety of software downloads online that can accomplish this. Browse around forums and read reviews to find the best one for your needs.

Locate the video file you want to put into your iTunes library. To select multiple files, hold down Control (Windows) or Command (Mac) as you click.

5. Click "Open."

Once you have selected all of your files, click "OK" or "Open" to add them to your library.

6. Drag and drop the file (alternate method).

You can also drag and drop your video files from a folder right into iTunes, as long as they're in the correct format.

Metadata literally means “data about the data” and in respect to digital media files it roughly corresponds to a file header in non-media files.

Metadata typically tells systems and users what native format the media file supports, file size, whether various post-production tasks have been performed on it, whether it is cleared for distribution/transmission, details of original source content, languages available in subtitles, dubs, transmission rights expiry, content synopsis (for EPG’s) broadcast restrictions and media library ID. Plus a whole lot more if needed.

A metadata standard is called a schema

There are a number of metadata schemas available. AAF (advanced authoring format) was one of the first, produced by Avid to cover production/postproduction and distribution but was overkill for most broadcasters so a cut-down version of AAF was developed by Sony to cover a typical broadcasters needs. This is called MXF (media exchange format).

These schemas are popular because they are open standards endorsed by SMPTE and the EBU and attract no licence fees.

Yes, of course. However, the Apple iTunes and Music apps are usually the easiest way to do it. So I’m not sure why you would purposely avoid them.

That’s what I use it for, anyway. There’s another one called taglib that can also be installed with Homebrew (brew install taglib) , but I haven’t yet used it since id3lib is what I’m familiar with and it gets the job done well enough for my needs.

MPEG-7 simply defines descriptors which allow a decoder to interpret the data.

For example, in part 3, video, https://webstore.iec.ch/preview/info_isoiec15938-3%7Bed1.0%7Den.pdf

There are numerous ways in which metadata is added to a digital image file, and this is often done at different points in the cycle of an image.

It may be easiest to think of them by the role they play. Some record technical metadata (like details of the camera, time of capture, location of capture), and are typically added by the device at the time of capture and stored in Exif. Others are used to describe what is going on in the image, typically called “Descriptive Metadata” and this is most often done by a human viewing the image using special photographic management software (Like Adobe Bri

It may be easiest to think of them by the role they play. Some record technical metadata (like details of the camera, time of capture, location of capture), and are typically added by the device at the time of capture and stored in Exif. Others are used to describe what is going on in the image, typically called “Descriptive Metadata” and this is most often done by a human viewing the image using special photographic management software (Like Adobe Bridge, Lightroom, Photo Mechanic, FotoStation, etc.). Another type is called “Administrative Metadata” which includes details of ownership, copyright, and licensing info; and also written to the file like descriptive metadata.

Classes of Metadata
Some classes of metadata can be - and are - embedded in digital image files. Some schemas, or data formats, actually identify their elements by these classes, although this may not be readily apparent. Each of the followig three “classes” of metadata become part of the image file when embedded in JPEG, TIFF, PSD, Raw or several other popular formats. They can also be stored in a sidecar file. Technical Metadata Most modern image-capture devices generate information about themselves and the pictures they record, such as that stored in Exif . These data describe an image’s technical characteristics, such as its size, color profile, ISO speed and other camera settings. Some professional cameras can be configured to add detailed ownership and descriptive information in a note or comment field stored within the Exif container. Descriptive Metadata A photographer or image collection manager can enter and embed various information about an image’s contents. This can include captions, headlines, titles, keywords, location of capture, etc. These metadata fields were included in the original IPTC-IIM schema. They have been expanded in the IPTC Core and IPTC Extension metadata schemas. Good descriptive metadata are key to unlocking an image collection to find stored images. Administrative Metadata Image files can also include licensing or rights usage terms, specific restrictions on using an image, model releases, provenance information, such as the identity of the creator, and contact information for the rights holder or licensor. These types of metadata have been comprehensively addressed and standardized within the PLUS sytem. The IPTC Core and IPTC Extension schemas also expand on the types and quantity of such information metadata can store.

These latter two types of metadata are typically stored in either the International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) legacy “Information Interchange Model” format (usually referred to as IPTC-IIM) and/or an Adobe format called XMP.

Types of Metadata
An analogy may help: Think of a digital image file as a box. In that box - as in a Japanese bento box - are sections or compartments. As trays in a bento box hold several types of food, virtual compartments in image files can hold several types of data – from the pixels that make up the image to the text that identifies and describes the image. Not all image file formats have these compartments. But JPEG, TIFF, PSD, Raw and several other file formats can include any or all the following standard types of metadata: IPTC-IIM Often called "legacy" IPTC, this schema was developed in the early 1990s, primarily to aid news organizations in captioning early digital images. Its primary advantage is that most image editing and management programs can read and write its widely compatible fields. IPTC Core & Extension This newer schema builds on the legacy of IIM by adding more types of descriptive and administrative information, including new fields to accommodate the needs of the stock photography and cultural heritage communities, packaged in a more robust data format, "XMP." PLUS The Picture Licensing Universal System for identifying and defining image-use licenses, describes a schema and tools for generating a string of characters that can identify a copyright holder, user, scope and terms of a licensed image use. XMP This is the newer data format used by IPTC Core and Extension for storing and accessing image metadata. It enables metadata storage within an image file or in an accompanying sidecar file, and it permits creation of custom metadata fields. Exif These metadata, often created by cameras and other capture devices, include technical information about an image and its capture method, such as exposure settings, capture time, GPS location information and camera model. Dublin Core Many image libraries and a wide variety of industries store information with image files using this schema. Several of its fields are interoperable with IPTC formats.

All of these metadata are typically stored in a “file header” within the file containing the pixels of the image. Exactly where and how also depends on the specific type of file format. The most common file types are JPEG (or JPG), TIFF (or TIF), and PNG; though many professionals may also store some or all in the proprietary RAW file, an XMP sidecar, and/or convert the RAW to an Adobe Digital Negative (DNG) format.

I hope that is enough to get you started.

Metadata is just data about data. Metadata gives you info about the file which you have saved in the system.

You can find the meta data details in properties of a file.

Now methodically move from the filled window to the empty window, copying and pasting. I wish there was a button that could duplicate the data to the correct fields, or just be able to replace the song music track, but some have made a macro to do it.

  • Date last modified
  • Owner
  • Access Permissions
  • Read-Only flag
