Tip #1591: The Hidden Metadata of Final Cut Pro

Larry Jordan – LarryJordan.com

The default Basic setting displays the least metadata.

There is a ton of metadata that Final Cut Pro tracks for each audio or video clip — all deeply hidden in the Info Inspector. Here’s how to unlock it.

• Open the Info Inspector and scroll down to the bottom.
• There, on the left, you’ll find a menu labeled Basic.
• Click it and eleven different metadata displays are already configured. The one with the most data is Extended.
• Select different options to see what they contain.
• To configure your own metadata menu, select Edit Metadata View.
