[Solved] Editing metadata for video

Post by tented »

I would like to edit the metadata for a video. In the "ExifTool" tab there is a section called "ItemList" which contains the field "Title" [See image below.]

I can't figure out how to edit this field. The title there is different to the name listed anywhere else, yet certain software programs are pulling the title from that field instead of the filename.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Just use the edit iptc feature and edit the title:

I don't see that specific field. Plus, the "Edit File Info (IPTC/XMP)" fields are all blank, in each tab (Caption, Keywords, Categories, etc).

Hi,

it is Object Name/Title.

Maybe I should add a special function "Edit Video Title field"?

Thanks! It worked.

That would be helpful.

I assumed when I opened "Edit File Info" the existing values would be filled in, therefore I would know what/where to edit.
