使用元数据Working with Metadata

简介Overview

元数据已成为处理数字媒体文件的重要环节，尤其在项目海量素材中检索和归类特定片段时更是如此。在 DaVinci Resolve 的整个后期制作流程中，元数据都是不可或缺的一部分。Metadata has quickly become an important part of working with digital media files, not least in the sorting and finding of specific clips in the morass of media in any given project, and metadata is an integral part of working with DaVinci Resolve throughout the post- production process.

为片段添加元数据有多种途径：可在拍摄时由摄影机自动写入；可在 DaVinci Resolve 中手动输入；也可指定专人用电子表格或各类 smart slate app（如记录 shot、scene、take 等信息）来录入元数据，再通过通用的 CSV（comma-separated values）格式导入 Resolve。充分理解并善用元数据，能让你对素材有更深入的把控，省去大量查找和返工的时间。You have many ways to populate your clips with useful metadata: it may be entered on the camera during production; you can enter it manually in DaVinci Resolve; or someone on set can be assigned to be responsible for entering metadata in their favorite spreadsheet program or in any of the smart slate apps that can be used to log metadata such as shot, scene, take, and more. You can then import this data into Resolve using the simple CSV (comma-separated values) format. The benefit of understanding and utilizing metadata is that you have a more intimate understanding of your media and will no doubt save yourself hours of work and frustration!

接下来我们将逐一了解各类元数据字段，并学习它们的实际应用方法。Over the next few steps, you will explore each of these different pieces of metadata before learning how it can be put to practical uses.
