You can use Metadata Values to automatically build the filename of a Recording. You need a XML Metadata Set to continue (as explained in the parent chapter). For this case we will use the example.xml in the folder /Library/Application Support/ToolsOnAir/Just In.

This is how it will be displayed in the Inspector.

Using Metadata Values in Naming Conventions
- You can use each node element of a Metadata Set within a Naming ConventionPreset. In the previous example above this would be "quality", "customText" and "special".
- Open just:in Engine and go to the Names tab.
- Add a new Naming Convention and enter a name. To add Metadata Values you need to put an exclamation mark in front of the Metadata Values, like shown here:
- Close the just:in Engine Preferences and open just:in
- Select the previously created Naming Convention.
In this example the <Date> variable would be replaced with the actual date and the other Variables would be taken from the Metadata sectionthe configuration panel and switch to the Naming Presets Tab. Create a new Preset and instead of using "%" + the variable name, you can use "!" + the variable name, as shown below. - Now switch back to the User Interface and select the new Naming Preset and adjust the Metadata Set values. The Naming Presets variables will get changed accordingly.
This is a very easy and straightforward way to handle the file naming.
