Using MetaSync to Synchronize Metadata
Avid MetaSync gives editors the tools to synchronize metadata with traditional video and audio
content. With MetaSync, you can insert pointers to metadata directly into the Timeline and
modify the timing and duration of the enhanced material. The metadata, in turn, points to
additional content, such as files from a script writing program, closed captioning, HTML files,
database records, machine controls, or remote commands. Other applications can then process
this additional content for final production and distribution, opening new opportunities for
content creation in the emerging areas of ITV (interactive television), DVD, broadband, and
converging media.
