BUG - XML sidecar files not created AME 2019

My goal is to create an XMP with the markers from the source sequences (generated from Premiere) for additional processing. But I can't get AME to generate the XMP sidecar files when I render files out.

If I select my preset, then select Metadata to bring up the Metadata Export dialog, I have the Export Options: Create Sidecar File selected, but I never get an XMP file created. Preservation Rules = Preserve All, Export Master Speech Track & Sequence Markers is checked, and Export Template = All Metadata. Verified in the app settings it's supposed to be doing this as well, but when I render, I only get the video file.

I posted this as a question in the forum, but no response and after searching, seems like I'm not the only one with this bug - https://forums.adobe.com/message/10719588#10719588

    Thank you ... that did help. I wasn't aware (or saw anything in the docs) that indicated some formats didn't support sidecar files. Suggest the app have some sort of indication of such.

    BTW, in the case of H.264, XMP should be embedded in an encoded file by default. XMP data shouldn't be lost.

    Which format are you exporting to? Not all formats support sidecar files. For example, H.264 .mp4 file doesn't support it, but MPEG2 does.

    Hope this helps.
