  • View BWF (broadcast wav) metadata in CC

    Posted by Trevor Asquerthian on June 15, 2015 at 10:33 pm

    I can set my metadata display to show BWF ‘Description’ column, but cannot see any entries contained therein.

    If I select the description box for a given file I can copy the apparently empty box and paste into a text editor and get the information.

    The most important metadata contained therein is the track assignments, yet there seems to be no way to display them in the bin (let alone in the timeline, which would be even more useful)

    Here’s an example of an ’empty’ description field copy / pasted

    sTAKE=027
    sSWVER=1.4
    sFILENAME=15Y04M13-027.WAV
    sTAPE=150413
    sTRK1=Mix L
    sTRK2=Mix R
    sNOTE=TC is Time Of Day

    I’ll stop by adobe.com/go/wish just to add a feature request, but surely others must need this?

    Yes! This has been brought up to Adobe! I have specifically asked them to have better support for BWF and iXML. Along those lines, I (and many other people) have asked them to translate the BWF and iXML metadata through to their AAF exports. Post sound folks need this! We rely heavy on it.
