Export metadata

Not built yet

Metadata export is not built. Roadmap, reel feature backlog, "CSV / JSON metadata export".

Sometimes what you need is the list, not the footage: a spreadsheet for a producer, or a file another tool can read. Metadata export writes a shot list's details and no video at all.

Steps

  1. Choose File › Export… (Ctrl+E).
  2. Pick Metadata, as a CSV spreadsheet or a JSON file.
  3. Pick the scope: All shots, Selected shots or Filtered / visible shots.
  4. Choose where to save the file.

What happens

One row per shot, in shot-list order: its name, its video's path, its in and out frames and length, every field in the shot list's preset, tags, rating, the restricted flag and notes. The columns follow the shot list's own fields, so a shot list with a different preset exports different columns. Nothing in it needs ffmpeg.
