Adding a Metadata Bin Column Heading
When you use the Avid Media Access (AMA) method to link to third-party media, each
manufacturer has its own metadata information associated with the media. Avid displays this
information in customized bin columns. The headings can include: Manufacturer, Data Source,
Creation Date, and Last Update. The headings change depending on the manufacturer. After the
media links into a bin, the metadata bin column headings appear at the bottom of the Bin
Headings list, separated by a divider.
For information about AMA, see “Acquisition of File-Based Media (AMA)” on page 374.
To add a metadata column:
1. With a bin in Text view, select Bin > Choose Columns.
The Bin Column Selection dialog box opens.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the list and select the metadata headings you want to add to the bin.
