Note: QuickTime metadata keys omit "com.apple.quicktime".
For example: "displayname" is actually "com.apple.quicktime.displayname".
When a MOV, MP4, M4A, or M4V file is selected in the sidebar, on/off switches appear for each metadata format, as shown below. Turning on a switch enables editing for that format. Any changes you make will be applied to the corresponding items in the selected metadata formats.
Note: Even when only one file is selected in the sidebar, “Multiple Values” appears if the same item contains different data across metadata formats.
For example: When the “Title” item is set to “Apple” in iTunes metadata and “Mac” in QuickTime metadata, or when one of them is blank.
