Re: Is the name clouding our judgement?

[Bill Davis] "Only if you artificially limit the definition of what "real production metadata" is or should be. "

This is not one of those "lets make up a definition" moments.

Production metadata means metadata created during production. It doesn't mean anything you want it to mean so you can buttress your argument.

Something you add as a tag in an editing system, even if it's quite valuable metadata that will stay with the clip till the end of eternity, is still not "production metadata."

And given the fact that production MD is important, is used fairly uniformly throughout the industry, and is in every definition of the term metadata, it's a shame and a weakness that FCPX can't access it, especially because it is so robust in other ways with MD.

Exclamation point.
