How does Metadata Editor work?
Metadata Editor integrates with asset management systems (such as Blue Order) to obtain any pre-existing metadata (including subtitles) about the programme. The programme video and audio is loaded from the server into the Metadata Editor along with the separate metadata, if there is any. The metadata is displayed on screen using forms that can be easily cusomised to suit any customer.
As the media loads, key-frames are created at the top of the screen to enable swift identification of scenes and these key frames can be ‘pulled’ or ‘pushed’ across the screen to move forward and backward through the video.
There are also traditional video controls on screen, which are activated by using the computer mouse, or you can use shuttle controls like those on an edit station.
As the compliance editor works through the programme she/he can annotate sections of the programme using timecode based IN/OUT markers. Multiple layers of metadata can be created/edited using multiple columns on the form so that all compliance data can be identified and recorded in one pass. You can create metadata on anything, for example: where the commercial breaks should go; scenes that cannot be shows before the watershed; scenes with flashing lights; subtitles; anything!
When the compliance editor has completed their task the metadata is passed back to the asset management system to empower you to streamline your workflow and improve productivity.
