I’ve only been able to find one source to show the EXIF X-T3 metadata for movies. It requires Apples Terminal app use and knowledge/skillset for using it. The documentation isn’t for someone who doesn’t know the complexity of writing Terminal code correctly. 

any help help, ideas or workarounds... ok their is buying the x-t4 but....

Thanks!

ExifTool is not that difficult is it? :) 

Try looking on the App Store for the app called Invisor or search using the tags:   exif mov

You probably will be able to find something that does not cost you lots of money. If you are unable to find something, drop me a note, I may be able to help you.

I’ll explode, thanks for the help!

Issue resolved!

thank you

fastest easiest metadata finder for MOVIE’s fStop, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, lens used, camera used and even film mode IE: Eterna or other...etc

It is :

ExifTool by Phil Harvey

what I didn’t know previously was how to use it and how easy it is to use.

quick guide incase someone runs across this thread....

Search and download (MacOS Package)

ExifTool by Phil Harvey

From his website: exiftool.org

install the app, then open the Terminal app that’s located in the tools folder inside the applications folder. Once Terminal is open just type the word   exiftool   then add a space by hitting the space bar then drag the X-T3 movie file (make sure it’s the original file because I found Final Cut Pro X 10.4.8 reformatted the original file and lost metadata information when I took the “original” file out of FCPX to use) file into Terminal then hit the return bar the results will then appear in Terminal.

This is a huge help as I can now go back to a job for some pickup shots and I’ll have all the settings I originally used so I can easily match the look.

Your first read was correct, I was looking for film/movie metadata info.

Every program covers stills but movies are neglected for information like fStop. SS, ISO, etc..

when Final Cut X converts it to ProRes it doesn’t bring that metadata info along. At least Fuji is addressing the issue with the X-T4.

This happens a lot even in the 'stills' processing apps. Or they will only transfer a few of the exif tags, with each processing level leaving fewer and fewer of the tags with the passed on image. Keep the originals around Justin Case.

Yes well said, it’s great advice.

Drives are so inexpensive now I do a double backup of everything off the card w/Carbon Copy Cloner instead of Mac’s copy n paste. Copy paste hasn’t been an issue but...

Thanks for this! Just one question to add, is there anyway to see your white balance? All I see is that I had it set to kelvin. I have 2 shots I'm trying to match and just cannot get it where I want it. Knowing the WB each was shot at would be a super helpful starting point.

Do you mean for stills? The value you set is stored in the metadata.

You could use this link or download Exiftool and run it from the command line

Fujifilm X Series Metadata

@Joshem888 is correct, when you shoot VIDEO and use the EXIFTOOLm, you only get the type of white balance you used, not the actual K value. 

Did you look in the colortemperature tag?

@Greybeard has mentioned this here:

(I do not know if @Greybeard is online or will be soon or not, but he does look into these things.)

I don't look as closely at movie metadata as stills - but from what I've seen there is less information stored - I've done some tests with my X-T3 and I can see the White Balance (i.e. Auto, Kevin etc) but not  specific Color Temperature.

I don't have the X-T4 but I'd be willing to test if someone can send me a (small) X-T4 movie sample with Kelvin selected for White Balance and a specific value chosen.

    • All three of my bodies (X-E2, X-T4, GFX100S II) have shoot without lenses enabled and they have all had it set since I bought them.  No harm in it at all. Just remember to set the focal length when you fit a manual lens with no electronics otherwise the IBIS (if you have it) goes nuts. I regularly use vintage film lenses from Minolta, Zeiss, Mamiya, Rollei and others on my X mounts along with more modern manual focus stuff from TTArtisans. I also use Nikon AF-S lenses with a Fringer so the world is your oyster! Vintage lenses can be an absolute bargain too - For example the Zeiss 135 f/35 in M42 is as cheap as chips and very sharp as is the excellent Minolta 35-70 Macro (which is also rebadged Leica). 
    • I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best. Zooms, primes, Fuji, Tamron, Viltrox, Sigma, Zeiss ... probably 20 lenses all told. Plus multiple IR converted Fuji cameras, X-T1, X-T3, X-T5. I even tried different ways of filtering IR, such as using the Kolari clip-ins and lens-mounted front filters. I was ready to give up until I almost accidentally tried one of the cheapest lenses out there -- the little TTArtisan 27mm F2.8. No hotspots that I could see, and best of all ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SHARPNESS across the entire frame. It's this attribute that I search for, and until now, never achieved. In my prior attempts, I listened to the advice from the "pundits", picking up a copy of the venerable Fuji 14mm F2.8, the Zeiss Touitt 12mm F2.8, Fuji 23 and 35mm F2.0, even the very similar 7Artisans 27mm F2.8, and none of them come even close to the TTArtisan for edge sharpness in infrared. Incidentally, I'm using a Kolari 720nm clip-in filter. Sure the TT has its issues -- vignetting at 2.8, tendency to flare with sunlight nearby, but all in all, this lens is glued to my X-T5 for now. This image was taken hand-held with this lens -- completely unedited!
    • Hy there When Im using the fan001 on the XH2s and I flip the LCD Screen vertically by 180 degrees then the image flips vertically, what is good but it also flips horizontally. The clean feed on HDMI is not flipping horizontally but its also flipping if the HDMI output info display is on. When I unmount the fan then the image flips only vertically. My firmware is updated to the latest version. Any ideas if there is a fix for that?
    • In reply to the original question, it all depends on what you mean by infrared.  If you mean "see thermal information", then I agree with the comments here.  However, if you mean near-infrared, the X-T4, or basically any digital camera can be modified to "see" it.  Check out Lifepixel.com and Kolarivision.com for more info.

    • No - I don’t think so - it means you can take pictures if you remove the lens completely - but I’m not sure that is a problem
