Q: how to add movie artwork to iTunes 12.1.0.50

Hi,

 

I cannot add movie artwork to the latest version of iTunes 12.1.0.50 on Mac.

 

The movie was purchased outside of the iTunes platform and is in MP4 format.  I can add the movie to the library and adjust the Metadata like director, genre, description, but when i try to add artwork it shows in the Get Info Menu, then when i select Ok, it vanishes.

 

I've tried the holding Option button as suggested in previous forums but cannot get it to work.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

A:

Having the same issue with iTunes 12.1.0.50, with movies stored on a NAS. Interestingly, selecting multiple movies, and then adding the artwork through the Get Info pane does, in fact, work (adding the same artwork for all movies selected). So I guess I'll upload a dummy video, select it with the movie I'm actually adding the artwork for, Get Info, Add Artwork, rinse, repeat... and finally delete the dummy video.

    same results (or lack therein) were the norm after updating to iTunes 12, but this solution works for me.

     

    -- select the movie/tv show

    -- Get Info

    -- select the Artwork tab

    -- Paste the artwork from the clipboard (you DID copy an image into the clipboard, right? lol) ...

    -- the artwork then appears. done.

     

    Note: NO border or box appears when you first open the Artwork tab, but the Edit menu has the Paste feature active.

    Hit Control + Click on greyed out movie

    Select “Delete”

    Select “Hide Movie”

     

    Do this for each greyed out movie

     

    THEN

     

    On top right of iTunes, click on your account name drop down menu

    Select “Account Info”

    Enter your iTunes password

    Select “View Account”

    Scroll down to “Hidden Purchases”

    Select “Manage”

    Ensure you are on “Movies” page in Hidden Purchases (on top right of Hidden Purchases)

    Select “Unhide” for each movie that you have hidden

    Return to “My Movies” page in iTunes and verify that each (formerly) greyed out movie artwork has been restored

    iTunes 12.4.6.1  Missing Movie Artwork.

    Had a similar problem with movie posters that dropped off of the Info area or would not allow me to add the posters when the file was hosted on a NAS. 

     

    I just moved all my movies to a NAS from a local connected USB drive.  Any new movie that I loaded to the NAS would not allow me to add Movie Posters to the Artwork of the iTunes Info.  But, if you move the movie to your desktop then Drag movie into iTunes and add artwork and all the other info it will stick.  Then delete out of iTunes and put into your NAS or remote storage and point to new movie file location.  Sort of a pain but it works like a champ.
