What’s Metadata?
Metadata describes…
• content, quality, condition, and other characteristics about data
• who, what, where, why, and how of a data set
Why Bother with Metadata?
Documenting data is critical to preserving its usefulness over time
– Where did the data come from?
– Where were they collected?
– How accurate are they?
– How are they to be appropriately used?
For data developers, metadata helps:
Avoid duplication saves storage space
• Share reliable information to achieve workflow efficiency
• Reduce workload by maximizing output
Proxy Video
Proxy Video is a form of metadata. It consists of highly compressed, very low resolution video (with sound) that mirrors a high resolution original master digital recording. Since proxy AV data is timecode synchronized with the original, much smaller in size, and can be sent faster than real-time over TCP/IP networks, it can be used quickly for viewing, scripting and editing. In many applications, such as television news, it saves time to edit the proxy AV data first and then automatically edit the high-resolution data based on the proxy. Using this method, editing can occur in the field.
Operation Improvement with metadata | File | Clip Duration | No | Producer has total control over video content volume | Aspect Ratio | No | Avoid errors while migrating from SD to HD | Thumbnail Picture | No | 0 cue up time, instant playback | Record Date/Time | No | Trace of shot taken information, sorting arrangement |

When a shot or take is recorded requiring more than the file size limit of a medium, a file-based camcorder starts another file, and continues recording the shot to that file without interruption. This is referred to as clip spanning because the shot spans more than one file or clip. Similarly, a file-based camcorder sometimes spans a shot across clips on different cards or disks, if the camcorder has more than one card or disk loaded. It records the shot until it runs out of room on the first medium, then starts a new file on the next medium with available space, and continues recording the shot to it. Although a single shot or take can be recorded to a group of multiple spanned clips, it is designed to be treated as a single clip.
For P2 and XDCAM EX, Premiere Pro imports all of the spanned clips within a single shot or take as a single clip. It will import all the clips within a shot on a card when you select any one of them, provided none of the spanned clips is missing and the relevant XML is present. When one or more spanned clips are missing from a shot, Premiere Pro will import one or more of them depending on where the missing clips fall within the shot.
To import a group of spanned clips, select one of them to import all of them. If you select more than one spanned clip, you will import duplicates of the whole group of spanned clips as duplicate clips in the Project panel.
If the group of spanned clips itself spans two P2 or XDCAM EX cards, copy the full directory trees from them both to same-level folders on the hard disk before importing. For P2 media only, you can alternatively import clips spanning two P2 cards if both cards are simultaneously mounted to your computer.
