I frequently use Mp3Tag for its powerful video data curation tools and was hoping there was some way within Mp3tag to automatically capture/import resolution details from a video file and add them as tag details on the video file? "Frame width" and "Frame height" information is typically documented within the video file properties.

What have you tried so far?  
Perhaps a look at the documentation would help:

> **[Format Strings and Placeholders – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/format/#technical-information)**
>
> Documentation on format strings and placeholders to describe the structure of file names and imported data. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.

Thanks! I did not see that page earlier in my research, but adding a custom column for %\_video\_height% and %\_video\_width% seems to do exactly what I needed!
