Re: XDCAM HD & EX best practices?

I'm afraid this is normal. Premiere Pro will only retain the updated metadata if:

-You archive your media first and then do your logging/updating of the stored card/disc image

-You edit from the original media

The former seems like a fairly painless workaround but it depends on your overall ingest/logging/storage workflow.

We have asked Adobe to take another look at this and hope to see the metadata handling improve soon.
