Quicktime movie info

Informator Pro only: Edit movie user data data
With Informator Pro you can add meta data to your movie files. These information are saved within the movies.
Informator uses the annotation standards so you can use the added information in many other applications like e. g. Apple® Quicktime player or databases.

You can add or change single field entries very comfortable, too: For every field you can create Pop up menus with your favorite entries. Simply click on the little arrow on the right of the field to modify the menu or to chose an entries from it.
Variables as entries
You can work with variables like "actual date" within your menus and templates. This way in the moment of insertion e.g. the actual date will be written to the field.
Don't be surprised to see the variable <actual date> as text within your template. It will be resolved when it will be written to the file.
It's possible to combined textparts and variables to one entry string.

Click on a symbol to change it and chose a new option from the upcoming popUp menu. Options are:
Replace always: All included data will be replaced by the new template entries. If there are empty fields within the template old entries in these sections will be deleted, too.
Do not replace: This field will not be changed. Written data will be saved.
Do not replace if exists: If there is already an entry in this field, it will be saved. If there is no entry yet the template data will be inserted.
Add: The template information is added to the existing fieldinformation.
Multilanguage Quicktime movie entries
Quicktime movie templates can contain entries in different languages. this way you can add multilanguage information with one single click.
"00 US" is the standard quicktime language. To add entries of other languages chose a new one from the language menu on top of the Quicktime section.
Do not wonder when you still see the "00 US" entries although you changed the language. This should only help you to know, what data is already inserted to the movie, cause for some of the entries the chosen language will be of no importance.
Anyway, to change e.g. the title of the movie to the french title simply chose "01 french" from the popup and overwrite the shown entry.
To varify your new entry you might switch the languages again.
Batch processing
You can add a quicktime template to multiple movies. Simply activate them and chose the wanted template from the meta menu
