Join Amy DeLouise for an in-depth discussion in this video Essential metadata to add to your clips in Final Cut Pro X, part of Video Editing: Moving from Production to Post.
- Metadata helps us decide what goes in the edit.…It really helps to mark which parts of the clip…we like and don't like before starting the editing process.…Also, it helps us get organized so that we don't…have to guess some of the contents of a clip.…A lot of this metada gets added automatically…in Final Cut Pro 10.…Let's try it.…In Final Cut Pro, let's go ahead and start a new project.…So that's just File, New, and Project.…Or you can use the shortcut, Command-n.…And let's go ahead and name it Metadata Workflows.…
We can rename the Event any name that we want,…but I prefer to just leave the date in which I'm working.…So 9-2-15 is fine for me.…Let's go ahead and click on Use Custom Settings.…And here you can change the Starting Timecode.…You can have the Video Properties…set on the very First Video Clip, which is fine.…And for the Audio Rendering, we can just use 48K,…which is the default setting.…So let's go ahead and click OK.…You can see here now…that we have the Metadata Workflows project.…
And we have the Timeline here.…
