Metadata

Overview

Default Template

The default AVID MXF template is functionally similar to the other FS-5 metadata templates. The User can select which metadata tags to use, determine the type of input they receive, or assign predefined values. In addition, the User can create Custom templates that are compatible with AVID MXF.

When the FS-5 prepares video clips using templates based on the APPLE XML Interchange Format, for importing into a nle like FCP, the FS-5 records the metadata in xml documents that accompany the video files. There are two files to export: a video clip and its companion xml document.

When the FS-5 prepares Avid MXF files for importing into the Avid Media Composer, it embeds the metadata in the MXF wrapper. There is only one file to import into the nle.

Custom Templates

The FS-5 provides the capability for the User to create custom templates by modifying Avid and FCP templates or entering unique fields into an empty template.

Video Production

Post-production

FS-5 2.0 metadata is viewable and searchable and includes links to the video content in the NLE or ProxSys media management system.
