Jeremy this concerns me “The problem is, without the FCP project or an accompanying XML, most of the metadata will not travel with the footage”

What metadata does/doesn’t travel with the clip? The intention is to describe each clip/log/capture independently so that we can continue to re-use the footage in future classes for who knows what projects. We intend to load the described clips w/metadata into FCP Server, so students can find/search for clips to create their class projects. Is there a better way in the Server product to describe (give metadata) the individual clips outside of a particular project? What we need is ‘asset management’ at the clip level…

Please forgive my ignorance, I am an archivist and learning video editing on the fly from the journalism students here, who don’t know much about the (soon to be installed) server product.
