This video shows how to embed metadata (title, description, keywords, copyright) into stock photo images using the free Exiftool program on Windows PC operating system. If you are an Apple MacOS user, take a look at this tutorial instead: [Apple MacOS] Automate Embedding Keyw...
If you prefer reading, we made a tutorial article on this topic that covers both MacOS and Windows at: https://blokhinfilms.com/2023/01/24/h...
While you can write metadata into stock video files, unfortunately, Shutterstock does not recognize such data and you need to use a workaround method using Upload CSV Metadata function that we will have a video on later.
To do add keywords, title, description and other important metadata into image files, you do not need any advanced knowledge of programming. All you need to do is to follow the instructions in this video.
►Step 1: Download and install Exiftool available at https://exiftool.org/ for free
►Step 2: Copy renamed Exiftool executable file into C:\Windows folder
►Step 3: Check that Exiftool works by typing "exiftool" into Windows' command prompt.
►Step 4: Change metadata in the comma separated values (CSV) file as shown in the video. You can download the referenced CSV template at:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p92Q.... Note: each keyword can consist of multiple words (e.g. new york, new, york) separated by comma. Also, keep columns names intact.
►Step 5: Copy JPEG files full path with file name into your CSV file. To do so, select files in open Windows Explorer, go to Home tab and click on Copy Path button.
►Step 6: execute the following command in your terminal:
exiftool -overwrite_original -sep ", " -csv="C:/folder1/metadata-windows.csv" "C:/folder1/"
Replace paths and CSV file name as necessary to point to the right folders/file.
And that is it. Exiftool can write/read/edit many other metadata fields in stock photo images. Take a look and learn about Exiftool' capabilities at https://exiftool.org/.
Hopefully this tutorial will help you automate your workflow and substantially reduce unnecessary manual copy-pasting in Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Bridge. You would still need to maintain a spreadsheet with records for your JPEG's metadata though. In our future videos, we will share our entire keywording workflow from start to finish.
We personally use Python programming language to fully automate metadata embedding, sorting through and copying files in preparation for submitting or resubmitting to stock photography platforms.
We have been doing stock photography as a full-time business since 2015 and will be sharing our experience and tips in our future videos. Stay tuned and subscribe to our channel @BlokhinFilms to hear more tips about stock photography and how to earn passive income by selling your photos and videos.
