Non-Linear Editors (NLEs)

Creating Metadata Template

Taking the information generated during project definition, the editor creates xml metadata templates that reflect the project’s content structure. These templates are created using a computer networked to the MR-HD100. The MR- HD100 has a web server that provides a web interface for creating and managing templates. The templates are stored in the MR-HD100’s database, see Creating A Template on page 60.

To assist the template author, the MR-HD100 provides a Final Cut Pro example template and a set of Apple XML Interchange Format metadata fields that can be adapted to a specific project’s requirements. Most of these metadata fields will be familiar to Final Cut Pro users: they are the same values that are used in Final Cut Pro’s Log and Capture window within Final Cut Pro.
