What data is imported when converting a Media Pro / Media Pro SE catalog to a Capture One Catalog?

QUESTION

What data is imported when converting a Media Pro / Media Pro SE catalog to a Capture One catalog?

ANSWER

Find a list of what is supported for .mpcatalog files made by Media Pro or Media Pro SE.

NOTE: It is also possible to import legacy .ivc libraries. However, as those are not fully supported, some data might be missing or represented incorrectly upon conversion.

Collections

• A Media Pro catalog's Catalog Sets hierarchy is converted into Capture One Albums and Groups. 
• A Set without sub-Sets will be a Capture One Album.
• If a Set has any sub-Sets, it will be a Capture One Group. 
• If a Set has sub-Sets and media items assigned to it, a generic sub-Album in the Group is created to arrange those media items in it.

Metadata

• Star Rating
• Color Label (MP Brown, Cyan, Grey are unsupported/unlabelled in Capture One)
• Applied Keywords (flat, not hierarchical)
• IPTC Contact: Creator
• IPTC Content: Headline, Caption, Category, Supplemental Categories, Keywords, IPTC Subject Code, Description Writer
• IPTC Image: Intellectual Genre, IPTC Scene Code, Location, City, State/Province, Country, ISO Country Code
• IPTC Status: Title, Job Identifier, Instructions, Provider (Credit Line), Source, Copyright, Rights Usage Terms

NOTE: Consider that it is not possible to import Media Pro catalog if you run macOS Catalina.
