Welcome to our channel! In this tutorial, we’ll explore the fascinating world of reading media file metadata using Python. Understanding and extracting metadata from media files such as images, videos, and audio can provide valuable information for VFX studios and professionals.

In this video, we’ll specifically focus on using two powerful libraries: ExifTool and Hachoir. ExifTool is a widely used command-line tool for reading and writing metadata, while Hachoir offers a Python library for parsing and extracting metadata from various media file formats.

By leveraging these libraries in Python, you’ll learn how to access and extract valuable metadata from media files, such as camera settings, date and time of capture, location information, and much more. This knowledge can greatly benefit VFX artists, editors, and other professionals working with media files in their pipeline.

The ExifTool and Hachoir libraries provide an extensive range of features, allowing you to dive deep into the metadata of different media file formats. Whether you’re working with images, videos, or audio files, understanding the metadata can help you make informed decisions and enhance your creative processes.

To get started, we’ll walk you through the installation process for ExifTool and Hachoir. We’ll then demonstrate how to use these libraries in Python to read media file metadata, providing you with practical examples and code snippets to follow along with.
