Map CatDV Fields to Adobe XMP Dynamic Media Metadata

We now support for the mapping of CatDV Fields to Adobe’s Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP)’s Dynamic Media metadata. See https://developer.adobe.com/xmp/docs/XMPNamespaces/xmpDM/ for a full list of fields and their XMP Identifiers.

Requirements

As a starting point, you will need to ensure you have the following installed/configured:

CatDV Panel for Adobe CC 6.2.2

Configure CatDV Field Group and Fields

Go to your CatDV Server Admin page

Go to “Customisation” and click on “Fields”

Create a field group called “Adobe XMP Dynamic Media” or whatever name you wish to give the group

From there, start creating your CatDV your fields to map to Adobe’s XMP Dynamic Media identifier

· Note: CatDV user field identifier must use ‘.’ rather than ‘:’ as the namespace separator – e.g.: use xmpDM.cameraLabel rather than xmpDM:cameraLabel (i.e. dot rather than colon)

Editing the CatDV Fields

Go to a clip and edit the custom CatDV fields before we import into Adobe Premiere Pro. You may do this via the CatDV CC Panel within Premiere Pro or in your web client.

Importing the clip into Premiere Pro

Launch your CatDV CC Panel

Once launched, click on the clip that you edited the CatDV custom user fields

Click on “Import”. This will import the clip into your Premiere project

You will see that the Adobe XMP’s Dynamic Media metadata are filled with the values from the CatDV fields

Supported Metadata Types

Currently, we support the following xmpDM metadata types:

Text

Boolean

Integer

DateTime

Please note that nested xmpDM identifiers (e.g., Start Timecode, Duration) are not currently supported. For a comprehensive list of available fields and their corresponding XMP identifiers, refer to the official documentation: Adobe XMP xmpDM Namespace.
