Adobe Experience Manager Assets keeps metadata for every asset. It allows easier categorization and organization of assets and it helps people who are looking for a specific asset. With the ability to extract metadata from files uploaded to Experience Manager Assets, metadata management integrates with the creative workflow. With the ability to keep and manage metadata with your assets, you can automatically organize and process assets based on their metadata.
The above are the basic metadata properties that Experience Manager can manage for assets, which allows users to see all assets. For example, ordering assets by last modification date is useful when trying to discover recently added or modified assets.
More metadata helps you further categorize assets and is helpful as the amount of digital information grows. It is possible to manage a few hundred files based on just the filenames. However, this approach is not scalable. It falls short when the number of people involved and the number of assets managed increase.
Technical metadata is useful for software applications that are dealing with digital assets and should not be maintained manually. Experience Manager Assets and other software automatically determine technical metadata and the metadata may change when the asset is modified. The available technical metadata of an asset depends largely on the file type of the asset. Some examples of technical metadata are:
Descriptive metadata is metadata concerned with the application domain, for example, the business that an asset is coming from. Descriptive metadata cannot be determined automatically. It is created manually or semi-automatically. For example, a GPS-enabled camera can automatically track the latitude and longitude and add geotag the image.
The cost of manually creating descriptive metadata information is high. So, standards are established to ease the exchange of metadata across software systems and organizations. Experience Manager Assets supports all relevant standards for metadata management.
Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) is an open standard that is used by Experience Manager Assets for all metadata management. The standard offers universal metadata encoding that can be embedded into all file formats. Adobe and other companies support XMP standard as it provides a rich content model. Users of XMP standard and of Experience Manager Assets have a powerful platform to build upon. For more information, see XMP.
Exchangeable image file format (Exif) is the most popular metadata format used in digital photography. It provides a way of embedding a fixed vocabulary of metadata properties in many file formats, such as JPEG, TIFF, RIFF, and WAV. Exif stores metadata as pairs of a metadata name and a metadata value. These metadata name-value-pairs are also called tags, not to be confused with the tagging in Experience Manager. Modern digital cameras create Exif metadata and modern graphics software support it. Exif format is the lowest common denominator for metadata management especially for images.
Metadata fields defined by Exif are typically technical in nature and are of limited use for descriptive metadata management. For this reason, Experience Manager Assets offers mapping of Exif properties into common metadata schemata and into XMP.
Enterprise Manager Assets lets you edit the metadata of multiple assets simultaneously so you can quickly propagate common metadata changes to assets in bulk. Use the Properties page to change metadata properties to a common value or add or modify tags. To customize the metadata Properties page, including adding, modifying, deleting metadata properties, use the Schema editor.
The bulk editing methods work for assets available in a folder or a collection. For the assets that are available across folders or match a common criteria, it is possible to bulk update the metadata after searching.
When you select multiple assets, the lowest common parent form is selected for the assets. In other words, the Properties page only displays metadata fields that are common across the Properties pages of all the individual assets.
To append the new metadata with the existing metadata in fields that contain multiple values, select Append mode. If you do not select this option, the new metadata replaces the existing metadata in the fields. Select Submit.
Only one processing profile can be applied to a folder. To apply multiple processing to assets in a folder, add more options to a single processing profile. For example, a single profile can generate renditions, transcode assets, generate custom metadata, and so on. You can apply MIME type filters for each task so that the appropriate task is triggered for the required file format.
You can also design your own metadata schemata if none exists that meet your needs. Do not duplicate existing information. Within an organization, separating schemata makes it easier to share metadata. Experience Manager provides you with a default list of the most popular metadata schemata. The list helps you to jumpstart your metadata strategy and quickly pick the metadata properties that you need.
The application-specific metadata includes technical and descriptive metadata. If you use such metadata, other applications may not be able to use the metadata. For example, a different image-rendering application may not be able to access Adobe Photoshop metadata. You can create a workflow step that changes an application-specific property to a standard property.
Creating metadata-driven workflows help you automate some processes, which improves efficiency. In a metadata-driven workflow, the workflow management system reads the workflow and as a result performs some pre-defined action. For example, some of the ways you could use metadata-driven workflows:
I just loaded about 1300 images from a recent trip into Bridge and I realized that the date stamp "Date Created" in the exif and metadata is not correct. I'm still trying to figure out how the date in my camera changed, but the time stamp on every image is off a few months and 4 years. The date in my camera was Januray 2014, ugh. But the question remains, is it possible to change the date and in a batch style? I'm not worried about the time, but I would like to have the correct date showing under the "File Properties" section. Please help?
This has nothing to do with drivers, the OS or anything else. When you stop recording in Multitrack (which is direct to file) then the metadata needs to be written at that point, so there's a good chance that accidentally, you may have inhibited it.
This is a really annoying message. I don't care about metadata for what I'm doing, so not saving it is not important (assuming that the error message actually means something). I'm recording a number of short tracks, and having to click on this every time slows everything down.
The bad news is that I wasn't even trying to fix the problem. I completely re-installed Windows 10 and Audition from scratch for unrelated reasons. When I went to use Audition again I was able to save metadata without any error.
I am using the Assets HTTP API. One of the limitations is "Asset API does not return the complete metadata. In API the namespaces are hardcoded and those only get returned. If you need whole metadata, then look at the asset path /jcr_content/metadata.json."
Adding /jcr:content/metadata.json to assets http api url /api/assets/asset/jcr:content/metadata.json returns 404. The example given :portnbr/content/dam/folder/assetname/jcr:content/metadata.json is not an asset http api request, it's a sling api i think. Note the beginning of the url, /api/assets vs /content/dam.
One quick way of seeing if you are having problems with the codec is to simply re-encode your file as a higher end file with the metadata and then re-encode the output file to the final file format. While you can still have errors if the final codec is corrupt, this adds the step of eliminating some of the "stress" and math right out of Premiere into H.264. To review, do the following:
In general, this is a preferred workflow anyways as Premiere renders much cleaner and better if the file is less compressed (research Premiere Pro Smart Rendering For Faster Exports Welcome to kevinmonahan.net ). Now if things go smoother with Prores but you still get errors with the H.264 file--my guess is that it is the H.264 codec. If Prores and H.264 are giving you issues, then the application might have had a bad install. Either way, uninstall Premiere using the CREATIVE CLOUD CLEANER TOOL Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems This tool solves quite a few issues with corruption within Premiere as well as the codecs and drivers it installs. In addition to this, there can always be some issues your video card if it is used to encode. Try disabling GPU acceleration under FILE > PROJECT SETTINGS. We had an issue a while back that caused some corruption in our metadata in 2017 and disabling the acceleration helped. Anyways, I hope some of this is of use. Good luck!
I'm new to Bridge (Adobe Bridge CC ver. 9.0.1.216 x64). I'm in the Filmstrip view and have added the Metadata panel so I can view and edit the metadata in my files. I only use a small subset of the metadata fields and currently have to go through all different types (IPTC Core, IPTC Extension, File Properties, etc) to change the values.... I'm curious if there is a way to create a custom view / panel for metadata that only shows the metadata fields I want to see. I tried using Metadata templates but that only seems like a way to apply standard data to a bunch of files... The data I'm adding is specific to each photo for the work I do with genealogy (people in the photos, description, location, date photo was taken, who is in the photo, etc).
