Some metadata items don’t seem to do anything and I’ve honestly never used them but they seemed to fit into a particular category when I was setting them up.If you’re a user of Kyno then you’ll get use out of the Kyno preset as that is the data that is sent from Kyno to Premiere Pro.Most of them will go unused as I don’t use many of them myself. They have just evolved over years of use and I created a lot more of them when Metadata displays were moved to the bin menu where they belong. There is no scientific research to how these were setup. Thankfully, most all of the useful metadata options can be adjusted and added to within Premiere. There are so many metadata parameters here it really feels like some real untapped potential as far as shoot-to-post metadata goes in Premiere Pro. When you open the Metadata Display you’re faced with a daunting list of potential items to turn on and off. I’ve setup a keyboard shortcut of shift+F16 to access the Metadata Display quickly. These are my current list of list view metadata presets. Moving this to the bin menu means you can also quickly save new Project View Presets, update existing ones as they change as well as assign keyboard shortcuts to quickly recall them. I have a standard batch of presets that I use across my Premiere installs that include my most useful column list view presets and I wanted to share them here. It’s those three little lines next to a bin name. Thankfully updates have come along that moves this useful feature right to the bin menu. There used to be a time in Premiere Pro when you had to venture deep into the Metadata panel for all your list column view saving and organizing. What’s even better about these column setups in list view is that they can be saved and easily recalled for future use, which is the focus of this article. And the ever useful usage columns can help identify what has and hasn’t been used in your project. You might need to add camera angles and camera labels for mulitcam editing. Other useful metadata can be added like color labels, comments or a scene take take number. Simple things like timecode and duration are two useful bits of metadata built into each clip, even if that that timecode is zero hour 00:00:00:00. Seems there is a missed opportunity from Adobe to take advantage of all of them that exist. You might even realize how many different, and potentially useful, metadata options Adobe Premiere Pro has. And you can sort you media by those different columns. Turning your Adobe Premiere Pro bin to list view allows you to view the many different bits of metadata that are attached to source media. While we’ve undoubtedly seen a move toward viewing and organizing media via thumbnails in recent years one of the most useful ways to view you media is still in list view.
