QuickTime Batch Meta Tagging

I'm new, thanks for reading my second post.
I'm converting my videos to QuickTime PhotoJPGs per the Pond5 specs.
Inside each QuickTime are metadata fields such as Title, Copyright, Author, Description, etc. I'm not referring to the metadata at Pond5, but rather the fields embedded inside each QuickTime file called "Annotations".
I'd like to put my copyright and title on each file, but with hundreds of these it's labor intensive to open each QuickTime file and save it with the new meta data.
Does anyone know of a batch converter that will allow me to copy common fields, such as copyright, to multiple QuickTime files in a batch?
I tried Metadata Hootenanny and it's pretty old and affected the image. I only want to add meta data, without recompressing or changing the video image.
Cheers

Hi Jason,
I sure appreciate the reply.
I guess I'm not so much referring to copyright, but rather I'd like to put my name and pond5 URL in the annotations fields in the clip, so that in the future someone will know who they got it from and can come back to buy more. Every year I get calls from people who have old tapes who want to know what else I have available and these often result in more sales.
I've distributed stock footage for a long time on video tape and DVD. In those formats, a sticker, label or a title screen in the video can be used to for identification.
But in QuickTime downloads, there is no place for a label other than the annotations (meta data). For AVI I've used a program call ABCAVI which is fantastic. I could put my information in a hundred or a thousand AVI video files at the touch of a button.
But I can't seem to find a similar program for QuickTime meta data.
