7.7 Writing Metadata In A Quicktime File
- Thomas Staiger
just:in multi provides full support for both standard and custom QuickTime metadata. All QuickTime standard fields use plain text. Note that the string length is limited to 255 characters! The Just In installer will copy an example XML template named “QuickTime.xml” to the StartUpXML folder during the installation process. Let’s create an entry based on this example file.
<control> <name>com.apple.quicktime.album</name> <label>Album</label> <type class=”Text” default=”The Album”></type> </control>
This entry would expose the “Album” field of the QuickTime movie. The Label in the Just In Multi GUI is “Album” - the corresponding key is “com.apple.quicktime.album”.
