hi Guy’s

I can confirm that sidecar import works in CatDV pro 10.0.5 I’ve just tested on windows and Mac you need to enable the “sidecar files – look for metadata in XML Files” in the import section of the preferences.

the XML file should have the same file name as your clip eg my_movie.mov with my_movie.xml

you can check to see if the XML has imported correctly by looking at the import notes field for the clip in CatDV you should see “loaded metadata from “myxmlfile”.xml” confirming that the metadata has been brought in from the sidecar file

If you are unable to get this to work please can you raise a support ticket about the problem with support@squarebox.com including log files ( start catdv do the import and then save the log files as per these instructions https://www.squarebox.com/exporting-logs-to-support/ )

thank you Dougal
