Why we like it

Custom Metadata Panel earns its place in the Adobe Exchange library for extending metadata editing across Premiere Pro and other Creative Cloud applications without XML or special coding.

What is Custom Metadata Panel?

Custom Metadata Panel from Adobe DME Services gives Enterprises and individuals a way to focus attention on critical metadata in one panel. It's completely customizable, helping end users and DAM managers tune their metadata view for accuracy and efficiency, and it expands metadata capabilities without XML or special coding. The panel includes tabs for common metadata schemas such as IPTC, PLUS, and the Astronomy Visualization Metadata Standard.

Form fields cover text, numbers, URLs, tags and hierarchical tags, dropdown menus, dates and times, checkboxes and switches, radio buttons, tables, calculations, maps from GPS coordinates, and more. Special fields support Adobe Experience Manager, including AEM Tags, AEM Smart Tags, AEM AI Title, AEM AI Description, and AEM AI Keywords. A built-in form editor, form definition import and export, and metadata value preset import and export are included, along with the option to use a URL as the form location.

Beyond Premiere Pro, it works in Bridge, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and Lightroom Classic, and it supports reading and writing non-XMP metadata from media (MP4 and MOV) and Office (PPTX, XLSX, and DOCX) files.
