How to Merge XMP Files with Video Files on Mac?

When you select the "Export IPTC to XMP" option to export original video from Apple Photos, key metadata such as GPS location, creation date, title, keywords, and captions are stored in the XMP file. However, this information is not embedded in the video content itself. When we view the video file, these metadata cannot be viewed in conjunction with other file information. In this guide, we'll demonstrate how to seamlessly merge XMP file information with corresponding video files on Mac.

To merge XMP files with video files, we require the Media Meta application, a versatile video and audio metadata editor. This tool offers a convenient feature that allows for the batch merging of XMP files with their corresponding video files in just one click.

Preparation Before Starting:

1. Put all Xmp files and corresponding video files into a folder.

2. Download and install Media Meta application on your Mac.

Steps to Merge XMP Files with Video Files:

Open the Media Meta application on your Mac, navigate to the "Quick Action" menu and select "Merge XMP files to videos(s)". The application will automatically begin merging the XMP files with the corresponding video files.

By default, Media Meta does not overwrite original video files for security reasons. Instead, it saves the modified video files to another storage location. You can locate or modify this storage location in the product's Settings/Preferences menu. By default, all modified video files are saved in: /Users/~/Movies/com.Fireebok.mediametadata.
