<< [1.2.3 Compilation]
Metadata
Metadata is pretty standard among most programs, we use it in three places, these are outlined below. Metadata objects can include
references in their value section, for example:
KeyName: ^[FILE]/[KeyName]
The FILE must be in the omd directory of the project.
PROJECT.omd, this is the metadata for the entire project, there are only a few required objects:
- DE_FrameName, this is the default framename, which is referenced throughout the project
- DE_SceneName, this is the default scenename
- DE_Author, the author of the project
- DE_Company, the company owner of project
This is usually created by the implementation you're using
Scene and Frame Metadata, this is stored as described in 1.2.2 Project Structure. These relate to individual scenes and frames, keys below:
- SC, scene number
- FR, frame number (only for frame metadata)
- LO, frame/scene lock, anything higher than 0 will lock the object for editing and changes
- MD_Name, default is to reference PROJECT.omd/DE_(Frame/Scene)Name, this is for the object name
- MD_Author, default is to reference PROJECT.omd/DE_Author
- MD_Company, default is to reference PROJECT.omd/DE_Company
- MD_Date, obsolete, default is 01 Jan 2024 000000
