There are special graphical devices for entering dates and times. See Specifying Dates and
Times on page 6.
Note: When working in the Browse workspace, you need to switch
SmartClient to the annotating mode before you can edit metadata.
To edit metadata:
1 Expand a section to display the metadata you want to edit.
2 In the features displaying editable metadata, enter new metadata where you want to.
The Save button flashes red, indicating the video clip has unsaved changes.
3 Click Save to save your changes in the current video clip; or Save Copy to save them in
a new video clip.
Adding Business-Metadata Sections to the Metadata Tab
To add a business-metadata section, you select an annotation template; then, from this, a
metadata record to form the section.
A drop-down list of available templates appears in the Annotation Template box above a
Metadata tab:
A drop-down list of the business-metadata records in the selected annotation template
appears next to an Add Record button (underneath the Clip Details record). You can use
any of these records to create a business-metadata section.
To add a business-metadata section to the Metadata tab:
1 Select the Metadata tab.
2 Select an annotation template in the Annotation Template box.
3 Select a record from the drop-down list under the Clip Details section.
4 Click Add Record.
SmartClient adds a section for the selected record under the Clip Details section. At the
same time, it removes the record from the drop-down list - to prevent you adding
unnecessary copies of the same record.
