Can't see most preview options for video items in finder

Hi

Running Tahoe 26.0.1 on Mac mini.

I create lots of videos.

In View>Preview Options - Movie, I've checked things like codecs, dimensions, description, title, duration, etc.

But all I usually see is Created and Modified?

This makes it a lot tougher to keep a grasp of details I need to have reliably available.

What can I do to make all those things visual?

Are your one running 26.1? That fixed some of the missing data, but it may have to re-import the metadata for it to show up in Finder preview.

I do not know of a method in the GUI to re-import the metadata.
