To streamline your workflow and organize your
files, use metadata. Metadata is a set of descriptive
information about a file. Video and audio files automatically include
basic metadata properties, such as date, duration, and file type.
You can add details with properties such as location, director,
copyright, and much more.
With the Metadata panel, you can share this information about
assets throughout Adobe video and audio applications. Unlike conventional
clip properties, which are limited to only one application’s Project
or Files panel, metadata properties are embedded in source files,
so the data automatically appears in other applications. This sharing
of metadata lets you quickly track and manage video assets as they
move through your production workflow.
Note: Properties in the Metadata panel also appear in Adobe Bridge,
providing additional details that help you quickly browse assets.

Understanding schemas and propertiesA metadata schema is a collection of properties
specific to a given workflow. The Dynamic Media schema, for example,
includes properties like Scene and Shot Location that are ideal
for digital video projects. EXIF schemas, by contrast, include properties
tailored to digital photography, like Exposure Time and Aperture
Value. More general properties, like Date and Title, appear in the
Dublin Core schema. To display different properties, see Show or hide metadata.
 For information about a specific schema and property,
hover the pointer over it in the Metadata panel. For most items,
a tool tip appears with details. About the XMP standardAdobe applications store metadata using the Extensible
Metadata Platform (XMP). XMP is built on XML, which facilitates
the exchange of metadata across a variety of applications and publishing
workflows. Metadata in most other formats (such as EXIF, GPS, and
TIFF) automatically transfers to XMP so you can more easily view
and manage it.
In most cases, XMP metadata is stored directly in source files.
If a particular file format doesn’t support XMP, however, metadata
is stored in a separate sidecar file.
Project assets without corresponding files don’t support XMP.
Examples from Adobe Premiere Pro include Bars and Tone, Universal
Counting Leader, Color Matte, Titles, Black Video, and Transparent
Video.
To customize the creation
and exchange of metadata, use the XMP Software Development Kit.
