But if they're ripping the content from a playable DVD or a compressed internet format, it will not necessarily pull that info. You need to put a legal banner before the video for that protection.

3. Re: Add copyright info to metadata
lisaellensegal Jun 13, 2012 9:13 AM (in response to jstrawn)I found the metadata sections you mentioned, and they show up in the project window, but they are not editable. Are there specific steps to take to enable them? Thanks for the additional info which Harm aludes to as well. I always add the banner or watermark my video, but I wanted to try to add additional info too.
Thanks

This may vary with the country, but in the U.S. you actually do NOT need any kind of visible copyright warning to receive copyright protection. U.S copyright law stipulates that a work is automatically copyrighted as soon as it's laid down in some kind of lasting form - pen to paper, paint to canvas, video to tape, etc. No warning of any kind is actually required to enforce copyright. (Which makes those stupid FBI warnings not only annoying and useless, but entirely unnecessary.)

5. Re: Add copyright info to metadata
lisaellensegal Jun 13, 2012 12:03 PM (in response to JSS1138)I understand some of the legalities of copyright and ownership, but that being said, people claim ignorance and still use my work without my permission or credit. My hope is also to improve my web searchability with the metadata, similar to the way that music is found on the web. As far as labeling my work with a banner or watermark, and someone rips off my workat least I get advertisng. It seems like that's better than nothing and am I really going to invest in hiring an attorney to go chase someone?
Any suggestions or discussion would be welcome.
Thanks to all,
Lisa

There are no specifc steps to enable them, but different files have different fields available, and it's hard to know what will be available to you. If you hae a small file (like < 1 sec) I can send you my email address via PM and then you can send me the file, and I'll take a look.

In this day and age, the only real thing you can do to prevent that is not create the work.

lisaellensegal Jun 13, 2012 1:16 PM (in response to JSS1138)Well, that's obviously not possible, so I'll take the free advertising and add my website to all of my videos and hope that it does not get cropped out.

lisaellensegal Jun 13, 2012 5:38 PM (in response to jstrawn)I was able to modify metadata in media encoder. I am all set now. I am not sure why it was not active in ppro... Thanks for the offer.
