About Metadata Groups
Metadata groups provide a way to organize related metadata fields. Most information
displayed in Final Cut Server is based on a metadata group; for example:
• Metadata fields displayed in an asset or production must be part of a group, and that
metadata group must be part of the metadata set that you applied to that asset or
production.
• All information displayed in Thumbnails or List view search results is defined by metadata
groups. Metadata groups also define all of the advanced search options.
The contents of many metadata groups can be configured. For example, to display the
MIME type of each asset in the Thumbnails view, add the Mime Type field to the
Thumbnails metadata group that applies to assets. To search the annotations added to
each Final Cut Pro project element, add the Annotations field to the Element Filter
metadata group.
