Metadata does not apply to new images
Hello Capture One version 5 users and developers,
I would love to hear how to shoot to a new folder and then type in my METADATA and then have it carry from picture to picture as I'm shooting tethered. In fact just having the METADATA set as the default and come up as I typed it the first time from that point even in new sessions would be grand!
I have tried setting it from save from last, to no avail.
I still have yet to find anyone who can even tell me how to keep metadata just traveling from frame to frame while tethered in one shot folder?
If an employee of Capture One is answering my question I would appreciate an answer not a trial and error. Either there is a way or there is not away. The only way I know to apply metadata to a shot folder is thru copying and applying at the end of the shot or the shoot. I hope there is a simpler way?
Thank you for your time.

C1's metadata handling is pretty casual.
Use Photo Mechanic to do your metadata instead.
You'll have to "update metadata" in C1 before performing any raw conversions otherwise C1 won't notice the metadata and your processed files will be free of metadata
It's time Phase One woke up to the importance of metadata instead of losing themselves in some of the fluffy "features" they've been tipping their energy into0 -
I am in discussions with Phase One right now because C1V5 strips all keywords out of my images, except for some reason the last one on the list. For me (and others, I know) this is a major problem. I am sorry to say that this is the case when you add by Photo Mechanic, and would appear to be the case regardless of which program you added/add the data with, and whether it is a .nef, .dng, or even a .jpg file. I agree Phase one really does need to address this problem, but they say that it is because many programs add the info in different ways, whereas I always thought that IPTC was standard, and other programs seem to cope!
