Hi team
Merry Christmas and hope everyone’s NY is looking like a good one! It’s time for another darichman home media tagging troubleshoot request. I will give the team a break on GeoTagging requests and have instead been troubleshooting imports of home videos from a few sources. I wondered if the following minor quibbles could be looked at and streamlined?
In most cases, I prefer to import photos/videos directly from device folder structure (eg DCIM folders for cameras) rather than using software tools (such as GoPro’s own app etc) to ensure original metadata - eg GoPro's software seems to fiddle with the date created. So I drag & drop from Windows into a temporary ‘Sorting’ playlist in MC and then use custom tagging views.
GoPro Hero 13New Christmas present.
The device saves JPG image files and MP4 video files.
Device file structure is
- Images DCIM\100GOPRO\GP010144.JPG
- Videos DCIM\100GOPRO\GX010134.mp4
Overall works great.
Images:
• MC pulls correct date from metadata.
• Correctly populates [Camera] = GoPro HERO13 Black
• Weirdly, the GoPro seems to populate ‘Title’ with a full file path that ends up in MC’s [Name] field. Eg [Name] = DCIM\100GOPRO\GP010144.JPG” I wonder if possible to simply use [Name] = GP010144 ?
Videos:
• MC pulls correct date from metadata.
• MC does an unnecessary case adjustment of the Filename into the [Name] field. Eg GX010134 becomes [Name]= Gx010134. Could this please be adjusted to just use the unmodified unique filename GX010134 ?
