XDCAM-EX Metadata in Adobe (Premiere etc.): it works a bit but in my experience I can’t say it’s easy all the way, and it seems that, in the past (2009-2011) at least, others were also finding issues. For example it doesn’t (as far as I can tell) display the camera settings data such as exposure.
What’s the matter with metadata? Avid seem to have made a better go at joining it up, and I wonder if this has any connection with their policy of leaving it to the camera manufacturers to produce corresponding media-reading (“AMA”) plugins.
