The relationships between the various metadata items for assets and productions are as
follows:
Assets
Productions
Metadata
maps
One metadata set is assigned
to each asset or production.
One or more metadata groups are
added to each metadata set.
One or more metadata fields are
added to each metadata group.
Each metadata field can use a
pop-up menu that contains
items of the same data type.
Data from one metadata
field can be mapped to a
different metadata field.
Production
metadata sets
Media
metadata sets
Media assets
Production assets
Metadata
lookups
Metadata

Metadata

Metadata
groups
(pop-up menus)
Each of these metadata items is configured in its own pane:
• Metadata Field pane: This is where you create new metadata fields or edit existing fields.
See
for more information.
• Lookup pane: This is where you create pop-up menus that can be used by the metadata
fields. Using pop-up menus instead of text or number entry fields can make entering
metadata easier and more precise. See
for more information.
• Metadata Group pane: This is where you create groups of metadata fields. See
for more information.
• Metadata Map pane: This is where you can relate one metadata field to another, making
it easier to extract metadata information from a wide variety of formats. See
for more information.
• Metadata Set pane: This is where you assign metadata groups to metadata sets. When
you add assets or productions to Final Cut Server, you choose a metadata set to assign
to them, which in turn applies the metadata group and its fields. See
for more information.
Note: See
for information about configuring the metadata
settings for a permission set.
