Exiftool

ExifTool is a free and open-source software program for reading, writing, and manipulating image, audio, video, and PDF metadata.

download exiftool here. https://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/

script ////TIF check and output to csv file////////////////////Copy paste into terminal after cd directed into folder /////////////

exiftool -csv -FileSize -AlphaChannelsNames -ColorSpace -ProfileDescription -ImageSize -ICC Profile Name -XResolution -YResolution -LayerCount -Compression *.tif> NAMEofOUTPUT.csv

How to write metadata from csv to multiple files in directory in terminal, having csv in same directory: (The fullstop means current directory) exiftool -csv="nameofcsv.csv" .

to remove all metada added if it was messed up: exiftool -all= -overwrite_original .

/// exiftool -a -u -g1 a.jpg Print all meta information in an image, including duplicate and unknown tags, sorted by group (for family 1). this helps to distinguish from different xmps such as xmp-dc xmp-lr (replace a.jpg with file)

/// writing from Csv to files exiftool -csv="thumbnails - ShowNtell.csv" -overwrite_original . The pc version C:\Users\More-U-005\Desktop\AI\Experimental>exiftool -csv -sourcefile C:\Users\More-U-005\Desktop\AI\Experimental > C:\Users\More-U-005\Desktop\AI\Experimental\test.csv (for windows instead of the fullstop)

/////////

exiftool -csv="Name ofCSV.csv" -overwrite_original . the above script avoids the duplicate file creation issue

Shortcut option to avoid overriding of metadata

  1. extract existing metadata: exiftool -csv -description -keywords *.mp4> NAMEofOUTPUT.csv
  2. combine in sheet 3.update to combined metadata: exiftool -csv="nameofcsvwithcombineddata.csv" -overwrite_original .

Exiftool: recursive data

exiftool -csv -r -FileSize -AlphaChannelsNames -ColorSpace -ProfileDescription -ImageSize -ICC Profile Name -XResolution -YResolution -LayerCount -Compression -FilePath . > NAMEofOUTPUT.csv

Exiftool recursive data with Video Considerations

exiftool -csv -r -FileSize -AlphaChannelsNames -ColorSpace -ProfileDescription -ImageSize -ICC Profile Name -XResolution -YResolution -LayerCount -Compression -VideoFrameRate -Duration -BitDepth -AudioFormat -AudioChannels AudioBitsPerSample -VideoFieldOrder -FilePath . > Framerate2.csv
