Fields under the File and the Speech Transcript headings show XMP metadata. Using Speech Search, you can transcribe words spoken in a clip
to text. Then search the text to find where a specific word is spoken in the clip. For more information about using Speech Search, see Analyze
speech for text XMP metadata.
For more information about XMP metadata, see the overview on the Adobe web site .

The Metalogging workspace
The Metalogging workspace is for entering metadata after importing, capturing, or digitizing media into Premiere Pro. The Project panel and the
Metadata panels are maximized to make entering metadata easier.
To enable the Metalogging workspace, choose Window>Workspace>Metalogging.
Phil Hawkins has details about the Metalogging workspace in this video tutorial from Infinite Skills.
Frankin McMahon shows you how to use the Metalogging workspace in the video tutorial, “DSLR Video Editing in Premiere Pro CS5” from Layers
Magazine.
About file, clip, and project XMP metadata
For the most part, Adobe video and audio applications deal with XMP metadata very similarly. Some small distinctions exist, however, reflecting
the unique workflow stage that each application addresses. When using applications in tandem, an understanding of these slightly different
approaches can help you get the most out of metadata.
Adobe OnLocation and Encore provide one set of metadata properties for all assets. However, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and
Soundbooth divide the Metadata panel into separate sections for different asset types.
Adobe Premiere Pro Separates metadata in these sections:
Clip Displays properties for clip instances you select in the Project panel or Timeline panel. This metadata is stored in project files, so it
appears only in Adobe Premiere Pro.
File Displays properties for source files you select in the Project panel. This metadata is stored directly in the source files, so it appears in
other applications, including Adobe Bridge.
After Effects Separates metadata in these sections:
Project Displays properties for the overall project. If you select Include Source XMP Metadata in the Output Module Settings dialog box,
this information is embedded into files you output from the Render Queue.
Files Displays properties for source files you select in the Project panel. (If you select a proxy, properties for the actual file appear.)
ForAfter Effects, both Project and File properties are stored directly in files, so you can access this metadata in Adobe Bridge.
Soundbooth Separates metadata in these sections:
File Displays properties for the currently displayed audio or ASND file. This metadata is stored directly in such files, so it appears in other
applications. (Adobe Bridge, however, does not display metadata for ASND files.)
Clip Displays properties for multitrack clips you select in the Editor panel. This metadata is stored in the containing ASND file, so it
appears only in Soundbooth.
Adobe Premiere Pro and Soundbooth also provide a Speech Analysis section with metadata that appears only in those applications.
Using clip metadata and file metadata
XMP file metadata is information about a source file stored in the source file. Clip metadata is information about a clip, stored in a Premiere Pro
project file. In Premiere Pro, any number of clips can point to the same source file. For example, a group of subclips, each with different In points
and Out points, point to the same source file. Also, if you import a file twice, but give each imported clip a different name, both clips point to the
same source file.
Use the XMP metadata fields to store data that applies to the source file, and all clip instances that point to it. Use the clip metadata fields to store
data specific to each unique clip. Link clip metadata fields to XMP metadata fields when you want clip metadata copied to the source file. Do not
link a clip metadata field to an XMP metadata field for more than one clip pointing to the same source file, however.
Edit XMP metadata
In Adobe video applications, similarly named properties are linked in the Metadata and Project panels. However, the Metadata panel provides
more extensive properties and lets you edit them for multiple files simultaneously.
Note: Instead of a Project panel, Soundbooth uses the Files panel.
1. Select the desired files or clips.
2. In the Metadata panel, edit text or adjust values as needed.
