    Script to copy/update metadata

    GraphiteGal636 Community Member

      Hi

       

      I process several hundred videos a week and have to update the metadata on them.  I think it would be possible to write a Javascript that will automate some of this process.  I've some previous programming experience with VB.NET but never in Javascript.  I currently process initially in Bridge because I prefer tagging in here rather than Prelude, plus I can reject/delete footage quickly here, then do ingest/commenting in Prelude. 

       

      To save some time I want to copy the contents of the Preserved Filename field to the Tape Name field.  The reason being that it keeps the information providing I only rename the file once.  However, if its renamed again, the original filename is lost.  I am quite happy to have a go at writing the script but have absolutely no idea where to start and my time is limited because I must continue to tag and edit the video footage as well.

       

      If I could afford it, I would pay someone to write the script but unfortunately that is not an option at the present time.

       

      Any help that is offered would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.
