files, use <dfn class="term">XMP metadata</dfn>. Metadata is a set of descriptive

information about a file. Video and audio files automatically include

basic metadata properties, such as date, duration, and file type.

You can add details with properties such as location, director,

copyright, and much more.</p>

<p>With the Metadata panel, you can share this information about

assets throughout Adobe video and audio applications. Unlike conventional

clip properties, which are limited to only one application’s Project

or Files panel, metadata properties are embedded in source files,

so the data automatically appears in other applications. This sharing

of metadata lets you quickly track and manage video assets as they

move through your production workflow.</p>

<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:  </span>Properties in the Metadata panel also appear in Adobe Bridge,

providing additional details that help you quickly browse assets.</div>

<p>For a video about the Metadata panel, see <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/lrvid4104_xp" target="_self">www.adobe.com/go/lrvid4104_xp</a></p>

specific to a given workflow. The Dynamic Media schema, for example,

includes properties like Scene and Shot Location that are ideal

for digital video projects. Exif schemas, by contrast, include properties

tailored to digital photography, like Exposure Time and Aperture

Value. More general properties, like Date and Title, appear in the

Dublin Core schema. To display different properties, see <a href="WS44464C00-CB64-4cbf-AC65-23FA1A47904A.html">Show or hide XMP metadata</a>.</p>

Metadata Platform (XMP). XMP is built on XML, which facilitates

the exchange of metadata across a variety of applications and publishing

workflows. Metadata in most other formats (such as Exif, GPS, and

TIFF) automatically transfers to XMP so you can more easily view

and manage it. </p>

<p>In most cases, XMP metadata is stored directly in source files.

If a particular file format doesn’t support XMP, however, metadata

is stored in a separate <dfn class="term">sidecar file</dfn>.</p>

<p>Project assets without corresponding files don’t support XMP.

Examples from Adobe Premiere Pro include Bars and Tone, Universal

Counting Leader, Color Matte, Titles, Black Video, and Transparent

Video.</p>

<div class="tip"><img src="images/tip_help.png" />To customize the creation

and exchange of metadata, use the XMP Software Development Kit.

For more information about XMP, see <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp/" target="_self">Extensible

Metadata Platform</a>.</div></div></div>
