placeholders and recorded clips, the Project panel lets you view
and edit descriptive properties like Location and Scene. Most shot
properties are reflected in the Metadata panel’s Dynamic Media schema.
The Metadata panel, however, enables access to many additional properties
optimized for specific workflows.</p>
<p>In the Project and Metadata panels, properties are based on Extensible
Metadata Platform (XMP). So, XMP appears throughout Adobe video
and audio applications. This shared metadata streamlines your production
process. For more information, see <a href="WSCBC033B7-C6D0-42c9-AB62-40881414CAD7.html">Viewing and editing XMP metadata</a>.</p>
<p>Both the metadata list view in the Project panel, and the Metadata
panel have their advantages. The Project panel presents a spreadsheet-like
view, where you can rearrange the data columns to fit your workflow.
You can also show or hide columns to fit your workflow. The Project
panel is optimal for viewing and comparing metadata for a list of
multiple shots. It's also useful to order the shots into a planned
shooting schedule order. The Project panel can only display a subset
of XMP metadata related to production workflow.</p>
<p>The Metadata panel displays the available XMP metadata properties
from the schemas including custom schemas. You can show or hide
these properties, but you can’t rearrange their order. The Metadata
panel is optimal for entering or revising metadata in a multiple
selection of clips. For example, consider that the scene number
is incorrect for a series of shots. Don’t edit them one at a time. Instead,
select all of them in the Project panel. Then, revise the Scene
Number in the Metadata panel's Scene property, and the change is
applied to all the clips in the selection.</p>
