Clip Metadata - Panasonic SD AG-HPX171E Operating Instructions Manual

Clip metadata

You can add the video and audio systems, name
of the videographer, shooting location, text memos
and other information to the video data you have
recorded on the P2 card. This data is called the clip
metadata. (Display method: Page 70)
There are two kinds of clip metadata: the data that
is recorded automatically during shooting, and the
data in the metadata upload file created on the SD
memory card which is loaded in the unit. (Loading
method: Page 73)
Creating the metadata upload file on the SD
