Details list mode

In details list mode right mouse button click on the column headers to pop-up the options menu.
Hide default or add custom columns as needed.


MP4 iTunMOVI XML

When setting the iTunMOVI XML tag, cast is set in the 'cast' XML branch. Involved peoples are set in the specified "Function" branch.
iTunes sets for example directors in the "directors" branch, so you have to specify the director as a "Function" 'directors' even when there is only 1 director.
Please try saving an example MP4 file with iTunes to find out other crew "Function" names.


MKV help

  • The default target when editing audio files (MKA) is 30 (song/track), in case of video files (MKV, MK3D) the default target is 50 (episode/movie). More info about target types.
    Some software treat the target 30 as the base level, eg. a movie's title as target 30 TITLE tag. This seems out of specs (check the link above), but if you wish just change the "edit target" combobox to target 30 before editing a movie file's tags if needed.
    To change an existing file's tags, use the tree-view editor, and change the needed branch's "Target type value" tag from 50 to 30 if needed.
  • At the upper-right corner of the detailed tag editor windows the track UID can be selected. In case of a movie file usually the UID 1 is the video stream, UID 2 is the audio (there can be multiple video, or more common, audio streams in the file).
    If a track UID is selected the detailed tag editor sets the tags for the selected UID (and the selected target).
    It's also possible, if you know the track UIDs, to enter a value, eg. "1", and hit enter to create (set) any new track UID tags.
  • Sort order tags are only written if the according main tag is present. Eg. title sort order is only written if title is also set (before editing the sort order tag).
  • When editing chapter tags (the chapter list is visible), if no chapter is selected the tags are edited for the selected edition, when a chapter is selected the tags are edited for the selected chapter. When the context is modified, eg. a chapter is selected then the tags are re-displayed for the selected chapter, or if chapter list is deselected the context switches to editing currently selected edition's tags. If the chapter list is closed the context switches to normal (non-chapter) mode.
  • Importing a complete tags structure for multiple selected files is only available with the tree-view editor. The detailed tag editing for multiple files will only update the currently selected target in them.
  • Selecting a target will not affect the following tags (they are always set to the target specified below):

Audio:
  • Total tracks: 'TOTAL_PARTS' - '50'
  • CD: 'PART_NUMBER' - '50'
  • Total CDs: 'TOTAL_PARTS' - '60'
Video:
  • TV network: 'TV_NETWORK' - '70'
  • Show title: 'TITLE' - '70'
  • Show year: 'YEAR' - '70'
  • Season number: 'PART_NUMBER' - '60'

Using MP4/MKV templates

Tag templates can be used to apply a collection of tags that are needed multiple times to the MP4 or MKV files. For example if regularly publishing MP4 or MKV video files, it's possible to create a tag tamplate with an URL, a copyright and an e-mail address, etc. and apply these tags every time when publishing a new video (or multiple videos).
To create a new tag template use the menu item "Template/Create New MP4 Template..." or open an existing MP4 file in the detailed tag editor and use the "Export..." button at the top-left corner of the window and export the tags to a new file. To edit this file use the menu item "Template/Edit An Existing MP4 Template...". Note that these tamplate files are actually MP4 and MKV files with just the tags (no audio/video), so they can be managed just like ordinary MP4 files.
When a template is ready add the MP4 or MKV files that are to be tagged to the stream list, use the menu item "Stream List/Select All" then the menu item "Apply MP4 Template To All Selected MP4 Files...". A dialog will pop-up to specify the template file and the merge mode to be used to batch tag these files.

Replacing ffmpeg

In case there are any issues with video thumbnails or audio extracting functionality, or just wish to use the latest version, optionally the provided ffmpeg build can be replaced with for example the latest version.
Simply download the latest ffmpeg build and copy all the files to the installed folder's 'Tools' folder (usually 'C:\Program Files\Audio & Video Tag Editor Studio\Tools'). It is recommended to create a backup of the existing folder, eg. just rename it, before copying the new files, just in case.
Note that it is not guarantied that the new version will work for sure but might have eg. support for new codecs for example.


Replacing mkvtoolnix

In case there are any issues with tagging or cover arts, or just wish to use the latest version, optionally the provided mkvtoolnix build can be replaced with for example the latest version.
Simply download the latest mkvtoolnix build and copy all the files to the installed folder's 'mkvtoolnix' folder (usually 'C:\Program Files\Audio & Video Tag Editor Studio\mkvtoolnix'). It is recommended to create a backup of the existing folder, eg. just rename it, before copying the new files, just in case.
Note that it is not guarantied that the new version will work for sure but might have eg. support for new features or updated support for example.
