editing and sharing custom metadata/keywords through Adobe Drive in Adobe Bridge

Nov 3, 2011 1:01 PM

Tags: #adobe #bridge #metadata #drive #keyword

I am part of a four-person video production unit operating within a local governmental entity. We are currently using four licenses of Adobe Master Collection CS5, and are about to get access to dedicated SAN storage.

 

We would like each user to have the ability to assign specific keywords to any given video clip (or remove keywords from clips) within Adobe Bridge, and have the three other users see the same results. I've noticed that Bridge alone will allow for keywords to be added or removed, but this list is specific to each user. Importing one list into other users' profiles is a start, but would no longer work, once keywords are added or taken away.

 

The overview page for Adobe Drive 3 says that it, "allows users to edit and view custom metadata/properties through Adobe Drive in Adobe Bridge," but I haven't found any explanation in either the website, forums, or user's guides that delves any farther into this area. If we incorporate Adobe Drive/Bridge into our workflow, will we be able to share/sync keywords between users? Is there some other (affordable) solution that would let us do this?

 

Thanks for any insight you might be able to offer.

 

Chuck

    Hi,

     

    Thanks for sharing your case.

     

    The keywords you mentioned is XMP metadata, if all your digital assets are managed by ADEP CQ DAM service, you can use AD3 with built-in ADEP connector to communicate with the DAM server, then, I think it can meet your requirement, it means, the keywords can be set by one user through metadata panel in Bridge, and can be viewed by other users.

     

    for custom properites, it's different from XMP metadata, it refers to the properties of one asset which is managed by a Content Management service. users have to use another UI to edit/view them in Br after AD3 is installed.

     

    here are some requirements to use it.

     

    1) CMIS 1.0 compiliant server should be used to manage all your digital assets

     

    2) use the built-in CMIS with AD3 to connect to the server.

     

    if other kind of servers are used, you should develope a custom connector through AD SDK to enable custom properties feature as well as some other handler required by AD SDK

     

     

    thanks

    Thanks so much for your quick reply. As you might guess, I'm not readily familiar with some of the terminology you mentioned. I'm going to do a little research, and talk to our IT department, to see if they are using Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform already, before I post more newbie questions.

     

    I'm trying to get a good idea of what we need on the technical side, before I approach the powers-that-be about buying/installing stuff, so I appreciate the information.

    quick question...

     

    with the CQ DAM, is it possible to add XMP keywords to AVCHD (.MTS) files?

    Hi copa5et1c,

     

    as per our supported formats list (http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/dam/documented_platforms.html) AVCHD is not supported by CQ5 DAM at this point in time.

     

    regards,

     

    Lars
