Net-X-Copy - Metadata Extraction

verifycc icon

Net-X-Copy is part of the Net-X-Convert/Net-X-Proxy workstation and Net-X-Code server software. It supports, among other things, extracting an XMP XML of the metadata in a media file or series of media files. It extracts both the basic information for each channel and any camera/workflow specific metadata. This article contains the Linux/OS-X/Windows command line API for this tool. A RESTful API is also available.

Net-X-Copy - Metadata Extraction

Net-X-Copy supports our standard range of proxy and broadcast file formats for extracting metadata to XMP XML.

Metadata Extraction Command Line

NetXCopy -m -s <sourcefile.r3d>

Metadata Extraction To A File

NetXCopy -m -s <sourcefile.r3d> -t <metadataout.xmp>

Command Line Parameters

netxcopy -m -s "M:\t3media\Streams\R3D - Red\Raven 4K\scarletw-standard-5k-24fps\A106_C037_0118G5_001.R3D"
