- I only tested this with XVACS files, not the other formats the camera can shoot.

Awesome, Thank you Dave. You can even see the distance from the camera to the focus plane. So wish this was supported in Resolve and Premiere.
thanks Dave! Been looking how to find this info so many times!!
Super nice timing!! I was looking for an answer to this question two days ago!!! Thanks!!!
Thanks Dave, useful information is always welcoming ! Regards.
That’s pretty cool to know. Thanks Dave!
Exactly what I needed thank you !
Great! I exactly searched for this. Thanks
Very useful. Thank you Dave :)
Thanks a lot! This is really useful
As an added comment to this - Alister Chapman told me that the sidecar files that you spoke of, are there to tell some NLEs and software what codec to use so it does not just read the files itself and use a generic h.264 codec in the software - XVAC-S is a really good h.264 codec, that if read by a generic h.264 and processed, it will still work but it would be limiting it. So his advice was to always keep them with the files and only change the name of the files by using Catalyst which will re-write the .xml files with the changed filename. I have mentioned this in other forums and people always say that they change the names and everything works fine. But Alister knows his stuff when it comes to Sony cameras. So I would heed his advice- the files are tiny.
It is in the file header so NLEs can easily find it. "Format : XAVC Codec ID : XAVC (XAVC/mp42/iso2)"
I wonder which NLE he is referring to that is a problem.
@@rsmith02 I'm sure there are some out there, the inclusion of those files is proof that Sony believes someone needs that data.
Hi Dave. Thanks for your great video. I downloaded and it is awesome. Thanks for sharing :D
Glad it worked for you.
THANK YOU
this is a life saver!
thank you
This is great, I've wondered the same thing. I think Black Magic would jump at the opportunity to integrate that info
Can't speak for Sony, but the data is there in Panasonic mp4 files, it's just that most apps don't look for it in video.
I use a simple binary called exiftool and run it from the command line (plus it's nice to have it returned as text). Give it a try.
Very cool! Do you know if it also shows the focal length of the lens?
Yes, it does.
Dave Dugdale Nice! :)
really, I've found that it doesn't show focal length? Unless I just dont see it
What if you change that parameters iso/f-stop during the video recording ? Will change as well or only it shows the initial params!?
Wow good question I’ll have to test that.
@@DaveDugdaleColorado :)
Thanks Dave, this is useful. What was their answer to your question?
The Sony engineers took notes and said they would discuss it back in Japan, but that was like 4 years ago. It could be that Adobe and BM don't care to include it.
@@DaveDugdaleColorado too bad..
I’m guessing it’s not a standard like EXIF, so it doesn’t work across different brands. Blackmagic, as a smaller company, might respond if contacted directly.
Ah, good point, I didn't think of that.
Does it show your picture profile? That could be handy when testing several settings?
I can't seem to find the profile, you would think it would be in there. I'll keep looking.
From when I used it more often, I think it only lists a few PPs, and the wording is somewhat confusing. But I do remember seeing some explicitly listed (slog I am pretty sure about) - it might be the capture gamma field Dave. I dont have a Sony cameras on me to test (but I could probably bring up some older footage)
Wow, just thought they don't embed them at all...! One reason to download the Sony software, then...!
So what did the SONY engineers say when you asked them?????
So...Sony has their "Catalyst Production Suite" (Prepare, Edit, which were originally simple-function software) for higher-end pro cameras running under a subscription model (?-$) and their newly-labeled Sony Vegas "Movie Studio 15" line (prices reduced) for consumer/prosumers? I still haven't pulled the trigger on NLE hardware/software because at my age (70...learning and remembering new software is increasingly a challenge) and waiting for CPU/GPU dust to settle at bit.
I want something that will work with my a7M3 and not overwhelm me with 'bells & whistles' like Adobe products. Anyone have hands-on with both Sony software offerings?? Dave?
Dan Smedra Vegas Pro is no longer owned by Sony another company is still working on it I believe. You can find copies of it pretty cheap around the web now, I got a copy for usd$25 on humble bundle a couple of years ago.
Vegas Pro and Movie Studio are now Magix software. It works fine with Sony X-AVC files.
Can I use this with other cameras? I have LUMIX
Never mind, I just found how to do it with iMac preview.
Unfortunately Sony don't include that information in MP4 files on the a6500. They do on MTS files??? Plus Catalyst browse doesn't deliver all the info with GH5 files and it won't even read some Canon files. So I use the excellent app EXIFToolGUI. It's non propriety and It works for photos and video from all brands, and delivers more information than Catalyst browse.
I just tried it and does not show anything from Sony files. Are you saying that it will show aperture, shutter speed, ISO etc from .MP4 files made by Sony? So far the only tool that I have seen it show is Sony Catalyst.
Yep, choose the all button on the top right and scroll down.
Just had a look at some older a7s MP4 files. Seems it only works on MTS.
I never tested the other formats, sorry, I was only using XAVCS files.
I agree, I can't find that in Sony a6500 X-AVCs MP4s.
