SPECIAL GUEST TUTORIAL

Philip Hodgetts, CEO of Intelligent Assistance, is known around the world for his technical expertise. In this session, we’ve asked him to focus on how metadata can simplify the process of editing.

Tutorial Overview

Metadata is becoming increasingly important in production and postproduction. More than ever metadata is being acquired on set to pass through to post and VFX departments; plus, metadata is required for distribution and rights management control.

After introducing the concept of metadata, the seminar will outline the various types of metadata in use today, such as Dublin Core, XMP, MPEG-7, MPEG-2, and SMPTE-2021 (BXF) – and tell you which ones matter. As well as these metadata standards, the presentation will outline the six types of metadata we can use in post production to take the boring parts out. Then we’ll consider which of our commonly used applications supports metadata, and how to preserve metadata when moving between applications.

You’ll learn how to more efficiently enter metadata in Final Cut Pro, reducing the amount of work needed, and how to use Intelligent Assistance’s prEdit to enter metadata even more efficiently. Then, Philip will illustrate how to work with text transcript metadata. The final section of the seminar will consider the future possibilities of metadata in post production to quickly and easily create a first-cut automatically!

Audience Level
