    Cannot edit any metadata in audio and video files

    I'm running Windows 10, fully updated. All of a sudden and for no apparent reason, I'm unable to update any metadata/tags for audio and video files. Haven't tried to update metadata for other types of files.

    It's very important to me to be able to edit the metadata/tags on audio files so that my 14,000+ audio files organize correctly for playlists, etc., and I like proper metadata on video files as good practice.

    Audio files are largely .mp3, and video files are either .mp4 or .wmv.

    I have tried Properties > Details on individual files in File Explorer and several tag/metadata editors that have worked great for years. Some tag editors will show the metadata/tags it allegedly saved, but when I go back to File Explorer
    they're not there. I have also ensured that the same metadata/tag categories I edited in tag editors display in File Explorer.

    I've also tried some suggestions from forums:

    • Making sure proper permissions are granted
    • Ensuring I'm signed in to Microsoft
    • Copying a file and trying to edit the copy's metadata/tags
    • Copying the files to new and existing other folders and trying to edit
    • Ensuring the files are not read-only

    Any ideas on what could have made the metadata/tags uneditable all of a sudden, and more importantly how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

  3. Can't edit video metadata in Windows 10

    Hi,

    I just got a new phone and when I transferred all my old photos and videos over the metadata times were screwed up. I like things in order so I can see when it all happened, so I was able to edit the photos' dates in "Properties," but when I try to edit
    videos I get the following message:

    "An unexpected error is keeping you from applying properties to this file. If you continue to see this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem.

    Error 0xC00D3E8E: The Property is read only."

    However, the video I'm trying to edit is not checked as read only so I don't know why it's saying this. I've tried numerous software to try to edit video metadata with no luck. If anyone has a way around this, please offer suggestions.

    Can't edit video metadata in Windows 10

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    It could be because of the folders permission, you are unable to change the metadata of the videos.

    You can try to copy-paste the videos on a different folder and then try to change their metadata.



    Also, try to change the ownership of the file and then try to edit the metadata.

    Follow the steps below:

    1. Right-click the video file, click
    Properties, and then click the Security tab.

    2. Click the
    Advanced button. The Advanced Security Settings window will appear. Here you need to change the Owner of the video file.

    3. Click the Change link next to the
    Owner: label.

    4. The
    Select User or Group window will appear and type your user account in the area which says 'Enter the object name to select' and click
    OK.



    Hope it helps.



    Please get back to us with the results.
