Unable to create custom metadata( formitems) for video files

[kranthik9932873]

Hi,

I want to add few custom metadata field for the video files. Followed DAM documentation and created folder structure as 'apps/dam/content/asseteditors/video/formitems' but it is not accessing this folder, it is accessing 'apps/dam/content/asseteditors/formitems'.

Any suggestions??

Thanks,

Kranthi

There are couple things I suspect could be causing this issue

1. Video files: Your video file should be valid and supported, if you have custom video files you need to register them

2. Metadata name space: As per the documentation, it mentions custom namespaces must be registered

Please review following section from https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-5/dam/how_to_edit_metadata.html

Creating New Metadata Property for Assets

Note Custom namespaces (like myCompany for metadata myCompany:description) must be registered in the repository/CRX. Otherwise, saving the metadata form results in an error.

There is a step by step example for customizing image dam, please review following

For videos it could be similiar
