Title: Create XMP on import video
Post by: javiavid on October 20, 2021, 03:01:06 PM
I know that from version 2021 the metadata in the videos is generated internally, but is it possible to disable this option and work as in previous versions?
I need to copy metadata from a CSV to many XMP and this would be much faster than writing it to the video files.

Yes. But it is not recommended.

Metadata 2 Options for the file format in question.

BIG NOTE: I DON'T TEST THIS. I DON'T SUPPORT THIS. Bad things may happen.

Ok, I'll try not to use it until it's more tested  ;D

I will not test this. It's non-standard behavior. I have enough to do to test standard behavior for metadata.
