Work with metadata
Display and change metadata
Information about your source media les, information recorded by the camera, and
descriptive information about a clip are called metadata. In Final Cut Pro, you can
create your own combinations of metadata to display with your clips, called metadata
views. You can either create new metadata views or modify the ones that come with
Final Cut Pro.
In Final Cut Pro, you work with three types of metadata:
 Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) data: Information recorded by the camera and stored
in the media at the time it was shot, such as camera make and model, le size, color
prole, and bits per sample.
 International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) data: Standardized data used
by media organizations to embed keywords, captions, copyright notices, and other
information in the media les themselves.
 Final Cut Pro metadata: Data you apply to clips within Final Cut Pro, such as clip
name, ratings, and keywords.
You can use the Info inspector to view and change the metadata for a clip or group of
clips selected in the Event Browser or Timeline.
