Attaching metadata based on filenames
by Chris Smith on Jun 16, 2009 at 11:59:04 pm

Hi All,

I am a learning Admin to Final Cut Server, and I would really love some help setting up a system where metadata can be attached to Assets based on filename. I have seen this is possible, but haven't seen too many examples of how to do this. Ideally I want to be able to fill in a lot of the metadata fields automatically on upload through my naming structure. I have a range of metadata groups and if I could grab some help setting up one, I think I shouldbe able to do it for the rest!

Here is an example for rushes of one of our sports events we shoot:

Eg. Event, Cutaway, Round and Heat Number, Athlete, Description

GC09_CW_R1H2_Name_Description.mov

Now, can I make it so that this information is sucked in on import of the files into FCSvr?

If anyone can help me the COW can!!

Cheers

Chris
