Hi, Angelo. I’m not using any XMP fields yet, I can’t find a way to export video metadata from Lightroom.

I guess there are 2 parts to my question:

1. How to get video metadata out of Lightroom
2. How to associate this metadata with Premiere

Thanks!

Hi, I found a workaround for this issue using keywords in the file name. It only works for a limited amount of keywords however.

If you go to export your videos under “File Naming” > “Rename To:” and then click “Custom Setting” there is an option to write the keywords to the file name. Then you can search by filename in Premiere. If you have too many tags or your file path is too long the export will fail however.
