Using the Metadata Tab

The Metadata tab lets you view properties of the Content Core namespace that are associated with the asset opened in the Player.

The following illustration shows the Metadata tab for a masterclip.

Metadata is arranged in two sections: Entity and Core.

Section

Description

Entity

In the Entity section, the following properties are shown:

  • System Type (such as avid-pmplus or webeditor)

  • System ID: ID of the Production Management or Asset Management system or webeditor

  • Entity Type: asset

  • Object Type: masterclip or sequence, or Asset Management object types such as asset.Video or asset.Audio

  • Object ID

  • Asset ID

Core

In the Core section, the following properties are shown for all asset types:

  • Name

  • Created

  • Creator

  • Modified

  • Modifier

Additional properties of the Content Core namespace are shown depending on the asset type.

To open an asset in the Metadata tab:

  • On the Landing page, double-click an asset, then click the Player's Metadata tab.

    This assumes that the Player is the default app for this asset type.

  • Double-click an asset in the Search app and click the Player’s Metadata tab.

    This assumes that the Player is the default app for this asset type.

  • Right-click an asset in the Search app, and in the context menu that opens select Open in > Player and then click the Player’s Metadata tab.

If you have not loaded an asset in the Player, the Metadata tab shows an “Asset is not selected - Select an asset to view metadata” message.
