Below is an illustrative example of the Metadata Preset (StartUp and Export File), providing a visual representation of how it appears in the user interface (StartUpXML) and the actual exported metadata sidecar file (ExportXML).

Please note that this particular page does not provide detailed instructions on creating Metadata Presets or the specific rules to follow. For comprehensive information on creating Metadata Presets, we recommend referring to the relevant section in the User Manual. It will provide you with the necessary guidance and instructions. |
StartUpXML:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<metadataSet>
<name>Workflow_User_Manual</name>
<extension>xml</extension>
<control resetAfterRecord="1" default="">
<name>quality</name>
<label>Quality</label>
<type class="Selection">
<item>Low</item>
<item>Medium</item>
<item>High</item>
</type>
</control>
<control resetAfterRecord="1" default="">
<name>customText</name>
<label>Text</label>
<type class="Text" default=""></type>
</control>
</metadataSet> |
It is important to pay special attention to the two name XML attributes (“quality” and “customText”) mentioned above, as they will be utilised in subsequent steps of this Workflow description.
ExportXML:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<file name="%Just_In_Clipname" path="%Just_In_Full_Clipname" duration="%Just_In_Capture_Duration">
<quality>%quality</quality>
<text>%customText</text>
</file> |
The provided StartUpXML generates two elements, namely a selection box and a text field, within the Inspector of the Just Control. To get a better understanding of their appearance in the user interface, please refer to the image below.

Once the Metadata Preset has been configured and set up, the next step is to create a Naming Preset based on the selected Metadata Preset.
Naming Preset
Naming Presets, like all other just:in Mac Presets, can be conveniently created within the Just Control Configuration Panel. In this panel, you have the option to configure a new Naming Preset that is based on the Metadata values. Moreover, you can also include static variables, such as the Channel Name. To connect Metadata variables, simply use the exclamation mark "!". For more specific instructions and visual guidance, please refer to the screenshot below.

As previously mentioned, you can reference a Metadata value by its specific name within the StartUpXML. By using the exclamation mark, you can indicate that a Naming Preset value corresponds to a Metadata value. Now, let's explore how this functionality operates within the user interface.
Upon selecting the new Naming Preset, it automatically verifies whether the corresponding Metadata fields have been properly configured. If the Metadata fields are adjusted accordingly, the resulting filename will be displayed as a confirmation.

This workflow enables the utilization of Metadata Presets to automate the file naming process for recordings. In the final step, custom Overlays will also have access to the dedicated Metadata values. Additionally, the Proxy file will be utilised to visualise and facilitate this process.
