About metadata

Metadata is data about data; it can include keywords, timecode information, and other
terms that help you find a particular asset.

Metadata adds descriptive information about media assets. An administrator can create
customized, predefined metadata fields to speed selection and avoid errors. You can
enter information in custom metadata fields before, during, or after assets are ingested.
You can also print metadata.
