Timecode and Metadata question

[Simon Ubsdell]

Doh! It’s all hidden away on list view. At least start and end and duration plus creation date are – no evidence for frame rate, audio sample rate, etc. though.

Given that the big positive story is meant to be all about how metadata has changed eveything, why can’t I see the timecode (or any other useful data other than keywords) of my source clips in the Event library?

Also useful is the Info palette, it carries all of the info you are looking for.

Yes, it does, but it’s in an odd place I can’t help feeling. Call me a Luddite but I would have liked to have it in the Event library where I’m organizing my material rather than in a separate tab. Maybe this will come later?

For anyone who’s interested in the answer to this question, as well as the info tab mentioned by Gary you can also configure the data columns in the Event browser (by control clicking in the column’s tab and choosing your options) so that you can see pretty much anything you want – exactly as you could in FCP7. I like to use the deeper metadata to contrast and compare clips especially for frame rate and frame size and make sure I can see what’s going on so this is very useful. I note though that pixel aspect ratio is not included yet.
