.in the last video I showed you how to
import your footage into Black magic
Design DaVinci Resolve 12.5 and in this
video I want to speak to you about the
metadata tab which is just this tab
I'm gonna just click off the audio end
just leave their metadata
highlighted but you see we don't have
anything here it actually says nothing
to inspect this because I have none of
the clips selected for just select 1
clip you see all the data so first off
we have the clip name this is what came
off the camera and then we have where
this clip is at this is the link to that
clip we have the length of the clip the
size of that clip this is 4K the
frame rates for the clip this is almost 30
frames per second and so on and so forth
and what I want to show you is something
interesting I have the option later on
when we go into the edit tab I have the
options to create a smart bin and I want
to set that up and you'll understand
smart bin as we move on and I just want
to show you why you have the metadata
tab here and why that's so important
because later on we used the method that
we import or put into the clips to
create a smart been so first off what
I'm going to do them just gonna select
one
clip over here and what I can do once
this clip is selected I can go over here
and kind of play around and input my own
data in here I can put the shutter speed
the camera frames per second the media
type the camera format, what I
just want to do is just go to the camera
type and I'm just gonna write a6300
which is the camera the Sony new
a6300 so I'm just going to do that and
I'm just going to go over the clips and
just input that now if you're working on
a small project that has only one camera
you don't have to do that but maybe you
working on a small project maybe this is
a small kind of the family trip where
you have different locations so you can
just input that go in here
select maybe production and production
name or use whatever filter here or
whatever line here to kind of give the
videos
different locations and you can actually
do that and that we help you later on
once we get to the edit type so I'm
just gonna go back here go to our camera
again we have the Sony a6300
I gonna copy that go here
paste it paste that and you see that once
I go back this data is kept inside the
video which is kind of important now I'm
not gonna bother you
by doing it all so I just wanted to show
you that and again you'll see why this is
so important
later on you don't have to put the
camera type again you can use different
things you can just go to the production
or audio or tech details or whatever
shot scene and just use the description
to write whatever you want here and then
we can use this smart bins later on to
filter the video clips so basically that
is it I'm just gonna show you what I'm
actually done if I go back to the
first clip and I select that you'll see
that under description I have the word
or the words the strip.
If go
to this video I have this high roller
because this big wheel that we
were in . If I go to the next video
you'll see again high roller if I go to
this video you'll see high roller but if I
selected different video that was
shot on the Vegas strip it will say on
the description Vegas strip and you'll
see that this is if we go to all group
you'll see this is under shot and scene
description and this is very important
because we are going to use the metadata
to create smart bins once we get into
the edit tab
and want to qualify our videos so this
is basically regarding the metadata and
now let's move over to the edit tab and
start understanding how all that works.
