About file, clip, and project XMP metadata
For the most part, Adobe video and audio applications deal with XMP metadata very similarly. Some small distinctions exist, however, reflecting
the unique workflow stage that each application addresses. When using applications in tandem, an understanding of these slightly different
approaches can help you get the most out of metadata.
Adobe OnLocation and Encore provide one set of metadata properties for all assets. However, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and
Soundbooth divide the Metadata panel into separate sections for different asset types.
Adobe Premiere Pro Separates metadata in these sections:
Clip Displays properties for clip instances you select in the Project panel or Timeline panel. This metadata is stored in project files, so it
appears only in Adobe Premiere Pro.
File Displays properties for source files you select in the Project panel. This metadata is stored directly in the source files, so it appears in
other applications, including Adobe Bridge.
After Effects Separates metadata in these sections:
Project Displays properties for the overall project. If you select Include Source XMP Metadata in the Output Module Settings dialog box,
this information is embedded into files you output from the Render Queue.
Files Displays properties for source files you select in the Project panel. (If you select a proxy, properties for the actual file appear.)
ForAfter Effects, both Project and File properties are stored directly in files, so you can access this metadata in Adobe Bridge.
Soundbooth Separates metadata in these sections:
File Displays properties for the currently displayed audio or ASND file. This metadata is stored directly in such files, so it appears in other
applications. (Adobe Bridge, however, does not display metadata for ASND files.)
Clip Displays properties for multitrack clips you select in the Editor panel. This metadata is stored in the containing ASND file, so it
appears only in Soundbooth.
Adobe Premiere Pro and Soundbooth also provide a Speech Analysis section with metadata that appears only in those applications.
Show or hide XMP metadata
To optimize the Metadata panel for your workflow, show or hide entire schemas or individual properties, displaying only those that you need.
1. From the options menu for the Metadata panel, select Metadata Display.
2. To show or hide schemas or properties, select or deselect them from the list.
Save, switch, or delete metadata sets
If you use multiple workflows, each requiring different sets of displayed metadata, you can save sets and switch between them.
1. From the options menu for the Metadata panel, select Metadata Display.
2. Do any of the following:
To save a customized set of displayed metadata, click Save Settings. Then enter a name, and click OK.
To display a previously saved set of metadata, select it from the menu.
To delete a previously saved set of metadata, select it from the menu, and click Delete Settings.
Create schemas and properties
If you have a unique, customized workflow that the default metadata options don’t address, create your own schemas and properties.
1. From the options menu for the Metadata panel, select Metadata Display.
2. Click New Schema, and enter a name.
3. In the list, click Add Property to the right of the schema name.
4. Enter a property name, and select one of the following for Type:
Integer Displays whole numbers that you drag or click to change.
Real Displays fractional numbers that you drag or click to change.
Text Displays a text box (for properties similar to Location).
Boolean Displays a check box (for On or Off properties).
