LR4 copyright help needed

[pragmatist]

This may seem a silly question but is there any way i can change my metadata info in bulk in LR4. I can do it for each photo but it will take ages to do them all and i have to keep using a name for the preset?
Thanks in advance.

Yes. Select multiple images and apply the data to those images in one go.

I think there's an "Apply on Import" button somewhere in there as well.

Yeah there is. You can set up a copyright preset to change your metadata, and then apply it to all images on Import/export.

You can asd your copyright details before the card even sees your pc, not sure about other brands but canon cameras allow you to insert your details

Or... use the SYNC button in the Library (bottom of the right hand panel) to copy Metadata from one image to all others selected.

Thanks guys. Another thing I have noticed is that when changing a metadata preset it keeps defaulting to the custom one, very confusing! I cannot even apply it to one image.
