Clip Description – Persistence of Metadata
Hi,
I’ve found what is to me rather odd behavior, but let me start with what I’m trying to accomplish.
I want an assistant editor to able to enter information into the Description field for a clip, without having to import the clip into a project.
We primarily work with RED footage so I’ll use that in my example.
In Premier Pro 5.52 in the Media Browser, if I double click a clip, it opens without adding the clip to the project and allows content review, so far great.
If I select the Metadata tab for that clip and enter a comment in the description field it also works as I expect. Namely if I move on to another clip an do the same and then later open the first clip I annotated, the comment I entered in that first clip persists and is visible when viewed from within the Media Browser.
However if I subsequently import that clip into a project, the metadata in no longer present when clip data is viewed in the Project pane…
This has to be a common task, so I’d love some guidance on how you folks are managing this.
Best,
Steve

Steve…
I’m wondering if the “Description” you are entering might be mapped to another metadata field?
Check out this thread from a few months back:

Hi Alex,
Thank you for the pointers.
Unfortunately the information enclosed didn’t lead to a resolution for a couple of reasons.
I checked the setting and Subject was already enabled within the meta data menu/tab.
Plus these folks are talking about working in Bridge which doesn’t support browsing R3D data, and is being deprecated in the next version as far as I know.
It sounds like Prelude coming in CS 6 is what I’m looking for, I guess I can load the clips into a project…

So those changes didn’t show up in the dublin core in PPro?
