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.
Separates metadata in these sections:
Adobe Premiere Pro
• Displays properties for clip instances you select in the Project panel or Timeline panel. This metadata is stored
Clip
in project files, so it appears only in Adobe Premiere Pro.
•
Displays properties for source files you select in the Project panel. This metadata is stored directly in the source
File
files, so it appears in other applications, including Adobe Bridge.
Separates metadata in these sections:
After Effects
•
Displays properties for the overall project. If you select Include Source XMP Metadata in the Output
Project
Module Settings dialog box, this information is embedded into files you output from the Render Queue.
•
Displays properties for source files you select in the Project panel. (If you select a proxy, properties for the
Files
actual file appear.)
ForAfter Effects, both Project and File properties are stored directly in files, so you can access this metadata in Adobe
Bridge.
Separates metadata in these sections:
Soundbooth
•
Displays properties for the currently displayed audio or ASND file. This metadata is stored directly in such
File
files, so it appears in other applications. (Adobe Bridge, however, does not display metadata for ASND files.)
•
Displays properties for multitrack clips you select in the Editor panel. This metadata is stored in the containing
Clip
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.
Using clip metadata and file metadata
XMP file metadata is information about a source file stored in the source file. Clip metadata is information about a
clip, stored in a Premiere Pro project file. In Premiere Pro, any number of clips can point to the same source file. For
example, a group of subclips, each with different In points and Out points, point to the same source file. Also, if you
import a file twice, but give each imported clip a different name, both clips point to the same source file.
Use the XMP metadata fields to store data that applies to the source file, and all clip instances that point to it. Use the
clip metadata fields to store data specific to each unique clip. Link clip metadata fields to XMP metadata fields when
you want clip metadata copied to the source file. Do not link a clip metadata field to an XMP metadata field for more
than one clip pointing to the same source file, however.
