FCPX metadata–how significant is it? And why?
-
[Walter Soyka] “My original question was this: is the metadata open? “
The created metadata inside of FCP is not. You can’t export a batch list or other type of list with FCPX today besides FCPXML, and that of course does not include all of the clip metadata on export, just a few things. Who nows if it ever will. Is Adobe’s XMP or Avid’s metadata system “open”? Open is a tough term.
CatDV allows exporting of data through CSV and such, but you have to have CatDV to get it.
The metadata that is traveling with my P2 footage is available on the Finder level. It’s not really “open” as much as viewable. It’s an XML language so to see it easily, you probably need some sort of application that makes sense of it to parse it. P2CMS is a free one that does this.

Actually I spoke too soon. That tool is for Events in the Library. It doesn’t seem to get rid of grouping within an Event. Is that correct or am I missing anything?

[Tom Wolsky] “It can be added and seen in the General display of the Info tab of the Inspector.”
Sorry, but that doesn’t seem to read embedded reels in existing QT files. I think Walter already said the same earlier, but here’s an example from an Alexa file.

[Christian Schumacher] “And Jeremy,
On systems I have been to, no beach-balling or crashing when searching at all. YMMV.
I can drag the resulting bin or some of the clips to a new timeline and have them all in there, nicely.
And they go to the sequence in the order that they are sifted in that resulting bin. “Funny, I too read Jeremy’s beach-balling dismissal of the FCP Find function, and I certainly seem to be, thankfully, missing that issue too. I work primarily on long-form 60 and 90-min doco projects with loads of material too, so I’d suggest that your SAN at work may be the culprit Jeremy, and that the beach balls you’re experiencing have little to do with FCP itself.

Well, it happened before the SAN too.
The SAN is a new addition, fast storage, this project, and this issue is not.It probably has to do with sheer amount of data that’s in my files (in the FCP columns).
There’s much more then a few user clip names, a reel and some timecode.
It also has to do with the massive amount of media.
Sorry guys, it’s how this works. Beach ball, watch clock, whatever, it’s no where near as fast as FCPX that runs on the very same SAN.

David,
I saw on the LAFCPUG website that you’re one of the Stump the Guru’s tonight.
When you see Mike Horton, if you remember say Hi to him for me. (I helped him start the group at the very first meeting and we’re old friends.)
Take care.
