I am looking for ways to add metadata to external files using
Spotlight - video files in particular from within Revolution. I
think it would be very useful if the stack indexing suggestions was
extended to standard Apple file formats or to any file format with
an existing system level spotlight metadata plugin (you'd need to
know or parse the plist structure).
In the meantime I'm looking to use AppleScript or the command line
tools - but not got anything working yet - any ideas?
Spotlight already indexes QuickTime video annotations plus the new
stuff that QT7 added. You can use applescript to set annotations.
There are some scripts here:
<http://www.apple.com/applescript/quicktime/>
You can also use the EnhancedQT external to set and get movie
annotations (qtSetMovieAnnotation and qtGetMovieAnnotation) but you
have to do a save as to save the movie after wards since Rev doesn't
allow you to open a QuickTime movie and then save it.
You can get more info on the external at <http://mangomultimedia.com/
