MediaPro 1.3.2 adds XMP sidecars for EIP?

Just to make sure it’s “not just meâ€:

• MediaPro XMP-Sidecar options are set to “add sidecar if unable to embedâ€.


• If I add metadata to a DNG file using MediaPro, the metadata is correctly embedded within the DNG file, no sidecar is created.


• If I convert the same DNG to EIP in CaptureOne and add metadata inside MediaPro, an XMP sidecar is created.


• If I change MediaPro’s XMP sidecar settings to “neverâ€, no metadata added in MediaPro appears in CaptureOne (and, correctly, no sidecar is created).

Is this expected behaviour? Or wasn’t the EIP format meant to bundle all sidecars like CaptureOne preview, develop settings, and metadata in the EIP container? Also, if MediaPro can write metadata into the DNG, why can’t it do it to the DNG contained inside the EIP bundle?

Cheers,

  EIP is meant to bundle everything into one file... in Capture One. Media Pro does not fully support the EIP format. It can read the files but does not have the capability to "unpack" and "pack' an EIP file. This would be necessary to "Open" the EIP, embed the Metadata into the DNG and then "Close" the EIP.

  Ah! Thanks for the clarification! I’ll use EIP for transferring data between workstations only from now on, then.
