About QuickTime Metadata

QuickTime media files can have a wide variety of metadata added to them. As a simple
example, you can add annotations, such as title, author, and keywords to a QuickTime
media file using the Annotations pane of the QuickTime Player Movie Properties window.

Because a QuickTime media file can contain custom metadata fields, Final Cut Server is
unable to map all of the metadata fields to metadata fields that are used in its default
groups.

This means that if you use custom metadata fields in your QuickTime movies, you will
need to either manually map those fields to fields used in existing metadata groups or
add those fields to custom metadata groups. For more information, see

Metadata Mapping

and

Adding or Editing Metadata Groups

.

The Search Devices window opens.

2

Choose the device that contains the movie from the Device pop-up menu, then click the
Search button.
