With a still camera, that data may tell your software which way your camera was oriented (horizontal or vertical) which lens, aperture, white balance setting, flash, shooting mode. (and more).</p> <p>some software ignores some of that data, other software uses it. </p> <p>I'd imagine that the xmp files for a video clip, would work the same way. at the very least it must be used for organising the clips, in camera, and so your computer can identify enough info about the clip to sort it out without having to open it up. </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-are-xmp-files-#post-39396 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 03:28:07 +0000 mrbennish 39396@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>yeh i also have been searching for this answer</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-are-xmp-files-#post-39389 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:08:54 +0000 Esplanade77 39389@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi all ,</p> <p>What are XMP files located on my directories along with my HD video captured files ?</p> <p>Thank's for your inputs!</p> <p>Jean</p>
