Metadata
6. Import the xml file into a NLE or ProxSys Media Server.
Use the NLE or ProxSys Media Server interface to import the
xml file into the application. In either case, NLE or ProxSys
system, it is only necessary to import the xml file. During the
import process, the application locates and identifies all video
clips associated with the xml file and imports them too. In
addition, the metadata logged during recording or playback is
added to the video clip(s). The metadata is now viewable and
searchable with links to the video content in the NLE or
ProxSys.

Post-production Phase

Metadata has many uses during post-production:
• Identify individual video clips, cameras -- position and lens,
provide for rapid creation and display of the video dailies
from film or digital footage.
Metadata can be used to determine the sequence that the
dailies are shown and create text generator slates before each
shot.
• Merge subtitles with scenes.
• Group and archive all video clips belonging to each project.
• Facilitate rapid search and retrieval of raw footage and related
video clips used in projects.
• Version-tracking of video clips and sequences.
• Find and replace video clips with other clips.
• Track processes applied to video sequences, for example
chromakey effects.
