However, poor tagging can lead to discrepancies between organization and playback. and I really appreciate your suggestion as this helps a lot.With the advent of the internet, it has become very easy to download/purchase/rip your favorite songs in MP3 now and then.

The only problem with this approach is that it works as a sort of static text template, rather than like a dynamic selection list as mentioned in the previous paragraph, but it’s definitely better than nothing. It could be very similar to how the color tags work on MacOS it would save each metadata entry that is separated by commas as a text label, such as names of cast members, with the added benefit of adding or removing individual entries from the list as required.īut following your idea - I worked out how to save a metadata preset in Subler, and did the same idea with an mp4-metadata file. What I mean is a metadata editor that contains a simplistic text-based repository of all my previously entered metadata entries (of my personalised cast members, producers, genres, etc) that could be re-selected via auto completion as I type in the metadata for my other videos. I don’t mean a locally-stored version of the online movie databases, if that’s what you mean. I enjoy making my own home production movies that involve amateur cast members and crew, which requires me to manually enter the same text each time, so it would be nice to access retrievable entries from a locally-stored database instead.īut my pick so far would have to be Subler. I've looked at a number of metadata editors for the Mac and am surprised none of them work with a locally-stored database in order to save personalised cast members, studios, producers, etc - rather than the common procedure of retrieving movie tag information from an online source.

convert or mix down the original video, but have been given some assurance from the developer that it can be used solely as as a metadata editor, and will leave the original video characteristics intact. However I was initially concerned that using Subler would change the video format and/or quality at the same time, i.e.

I've just started using Subler and really like the simple minimalistic-looking interface, plus the fact that I can add just the specific metadata as required, with no unnecessary metadata junk.
