Using exif tags for mp4 files

Hi all, I see from documentation that it should be possible to use exif tags for renaming pictures, but I'm afraid the same doesn't work for mp4 videos.
I have some mp4 videos with tag -XMP:Title configured with some content I want to reuse for my renaming tasks.
I cannot find a way to add it in section "Add (7)" of BRU; I tried with the following without success:

Code: Select all
<(exif:Title)>

Code: Select all
<(exif:-XMP:Title)>


I also tried to debug the tags using right click/show exif info, but they appear to be populated only for jpeg files.
How can I proceed? I think that accessing exif tags for videos shouldn't be much different from pictures, considering they're both supported from exiftools.

Thanks in advance.

Can Windows Explorer see the tag?
If so, then pretty sure BRU should be able to also gather it.

Hi, right-click on the mp4 file in BRU and select "Show List of File Properties" from the menu... is the XMP:Title shown there ?

No, I've checked that even from there the value is not displayed. This is the value I'm looking for:

Code: Select all
H:\Foto>exiftool -XMP:Title VID_20210814_102024.mp4
Title                           : test
