Link clip data to XMP metadata
In the Metadata panel, the Clip property value fields are internal. They reside in the Premiere Pro project file, and are
readable by Premiere Pro alone. However, some of the property value fields in the Clip section have a link option box
next to them. After you select the link option, Premiere Pro automatically enters the information that you enter into
the Clip value field into a corresponding XMP field.
When you select the link option, the metadata panel links a clip data field to an XMP metadata field in one of the
schema. Selecting this option does not copy existing clip data into XMP fields. Premiere Pro does copy any clip data
added after the link is made into the linked XMP fields. In most cases, the XMP field has the same name as the clip data
field linked to it. In the following two cases, the XMP fields have names different from the clip data fields linked to them:
Clip data field name
XMP field name
Name
Title (in Dublin Core schema)
Log Note
Log Comment (In Dynamic Media schema)
In the Metadata panel, drag the scroll bar under the Clip heading downward until you see the fields with empty link

buttons to the right.

Working with aspect ratios
About aspect ratios
An aspect ratio specifies the ratio of width to height. Video and still picture frames have a frame aspect ratio, and the
pixels that make up the frame have a pixel aspect ratio (sometimes referred to as PAR). You record video for television
in either a 4:3 or 16:9 frame aspect ratio. Additionally, different video recording standards use different pixel aspect
ratios.
You set the frame and pixel aspect ratios for a Premiere Pro project when you create it. Once these ratios are set, you
cannot change them for that project. You can, however, use assets created with different aspect ratios in that project.
Premiere Pro automatically tries to compensate for the pixel aspect ratio of source files. If an asset still appears
distorted, you can manually specify its pixel aspect ratio. Reconcile pixel aspect ratios before reconciling frame aspect
ratios, because an incorrect frame aspect ratios can result from a misinterpreted pixel aspect ratio.
Frame aspect ratio
Frame aspect ratio describes the ratio of width to height in the dimensions of an image. For example, DV NTSC has a
frame aspect ratio of 4:3 (or 4.0 width by 3.0 height). A typical widescreen frame has a frame aspect ratio of 16:9. Many
cameras that have a widescreen mode can record using the 16:9 aspect ratio. Many films have been shot using even
wider aspect ratios.
