# DaVinci Resolve EXIF Metadata Synchronization Tool
Media clip attributes in DaVinci Resolve aren't synchronized with file's EXIF metadata. This tool provides simple synchronization between media files on disk and media pool item in DaVinci Resolve.
## Requirements
- [exif tool](https://exiftool.org/), see [install page](https://exiftool.org/install.html)
* Debian/Ubuntu: `sudo apt install libimage-exiftool-perl`
* Fedora/RedHat: `sudo dnf install perl-Image-ExifTool.noarch`
* macOS: `brew install exiftool` or install the [ExifTool MacOS Package](https://exiftool.org/install.html#MacOS)
* Windows: [download exiftool installer](https://oliverbetz.de/pages/Artikel/ExifTool-for-Windows#toc-3)
## Compatibility
Tested on:
* Resolve 16
* Resolve 17
* Resolve 18
## Installation
Copy the lua script file to following paths:
* Linux: `~/.local/share/DaVinciResolve/Fusion/Scripts/Comp`
* macOS `~/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic\ Design/DaVinci\ Resolve/Fusion/Scripts/Comp`
* Windows `%AppData%\Roaming\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\Fusion\Scripts\Comp`
### Linux
From command line:
Linux
```
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/deric/DaVinciResolve-metadata/main/com.deric.ExifMetadata/Scripts/Comp/EXIF-metadata.lua \
-P ~/.local/share/DaVinciResolve/Fusion/Scripts/Comp/
```
MacOS
```
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/deric/DaVinciResolve-metadata/main/com.deric.ExifMetadata/Scripts/Comp/EXIF-metadata.lua \ -P ~/Library/Application\ Support/Blackmagic\ Design/DaVinci\ Resolve/Fusion/Scripts/Comp
```
## Usage
1. Import some media files from Media Storage to Project's Media Pool
2. Select from main menu `Workspace > Scripts > EXIF-metadata`
3. Select meta fields
4. Run Sychronize Media Store
## How does it work
Each media pool item will be examined using the `exiftool` for checked meta fields. If present the value will be overwritten in clip's property. Such value then could be used for sorting or searching.
See Console output for actual command used to retrieve EXIF metadata.
In order to check available attributes you can use following command:
```bash
$ exiftool -ee -a /path/to/media.mov
