Video and audio files already contain a certain amount of basic <strong>metadata<\/strong> information, including<strong> file name, type, size, path, date, and duration<\/strong>. You can add <strong>metadata<\/strong> information to clips using Premiere Pro\u2019s <strong>Metadata<\/strong> panel.<\/p>\n<p>If you work with a lot of media assets, or work with a group of other editors (or both), <strong>metadata<\/strong> can help you immensely. By adding <strong>information<\/strong> to video and audio assets, you can quickly and easily <strong>find<\/strong> the information at a later time with a simple <strong>keyword search.<\/strong> Let\u2019s take a closer look at how and why to use <strong>metadata<\/strong> in <strong>Adobe Premiere Pro.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xeQdoWUqM_c?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"the-metadata-panel\">The Metadata Panel<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-86396 size-full\" title=\"Harnessing the Power of Metadata in Premiere Pro - Metadata panel\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Metadata-Panel.gif\" alt=\"Harnessing the Power of Metadata in Premiere Pro - Metadata panel\" width=\"755\" height=\"471\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The best way to work with metadata is to select Premiere Pro\u2019s default <strong>Metalogging<\/strong> workspace. This <strong>workspace<\/strong> is designed to be used directly after you import your footage. Simply go to <strong>Window &gt; Workspace &gt; Metalogging.<\/strong> Or you can open just the <strong>Metadata panel<\/strong> by selecting <strong>Window &gt; Metadata <\/strong>(or keyboard shortcut<strong> Alt+Shift+8<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"clip-metadata-vs-file-metadata\">Clip Metadata vs. File Metadata<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-86395 size-full\" title=\"Harnessing the Power of Metadata in Premiere Pro - clip metadata vs. file metadata\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Clip-vs-File-Metadata.gif\" alt=\"Harnessing the Power of Metadata in Premiere Pro - clip metadata vs. file metadata\" width=\"755\" height=\"471\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once you have the <strong>Metadata panel<\/strong> open, you\u2019ll notice several sections, including <strong>Clip<\/strong> and <strong>File<\/strong>. <strong>Clip metadata<\/strong> differs slightly from <strong>File<\/strong> <strong>metadata<\/strong>. <strong>Clip<\/strong> <strong>metadata<\/strong> provides information about your clip in <strong>Premiere<\/strong> <strong>Pro<\/strong>, and the information is saved in the <strong>Premiere Pro<\/strong> project. <strong>File metadata<\/strong> is specific to your actual file, and is saved to the <strong>source<\/strong> file or a corresponding <strong>sidecar<\/strong> file.<\/p>\n<p>This is important to understand\u00a0because if you create <strong>subclips<\/strong> or <strong>import duplicate clips,<\/strong> your <strong>Clip metadata<\/strong> will only correspond with your clip in <strong>Premiere<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"xmp-explained\">XMP Explained<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Extensible Metadata Platform,<\/strong> or <strong>XMP<\/strong>, is a standard format for storing and displaying information across applications and platforms. For the most part, <strong>XMP<\/strong> metadata is stored within a <strong>source<\/strong> file. For file formats that don\u2019t support <strong>XMP<\/strong>, an <strong>XMP<\/strong> sidecar file will accompany the <strong>source<\/strong> file.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"metadata-displays\">Metadata Displays<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-86394 size-full\" title=\"Harnessing the Power of Metadata in Premiere Pro - metadata displays\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Metadata-Display.gif\" alt=\"Harnessing the Power of Metadata in Premiere Pro - metadata displays\" width=\"755\" height=\"471\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you look at the <strong>File metadata<\/strong> in the <strong>Metadata<\/strong> panel, you\u2019ll see a number of different sections. These are called <strong>schemas<\/strong>. A <strong>schema<\/strong> is a collection of metadata <strong>properties<\/strong> specific to a certain <strong>workflow<\/strong>, whether that is photography, copyright, script, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, this is way more <strong>metadata<\/strong> information than you would ever need, and some of it is not specific to <strong>video<\/strong>. To customize <strong>schemas<\/strong> to your own workflow, click <strong>Metadata Display<\/strong> in the panel drop-down menu.
