Editing asset metadata in Clip Link

Updated on December 7th, 2022

Adding metadata to an asset, or assets, couldn't be simpler! Within the main Curator Clip Link interface, simply right-click any asset in the middle pane to bring up the context menu and choose Edit/View Metadata. Performing this action will bring up the Metadata Editor window, where you can see all the metadata you have access to. To change something, simply update the value field and then click Save at the top right.

If you want to edit metadata in bulk for multiple assets at once, simply select the assets you want to edit metadata for before clicking Edit/View Metadata.

Here are some top tips for editing metadata

  • White highlighted fields are editable, whilst grey fields are read-only
  • You can select multiple assets using common keyboard shortcuts:
    • Click and drag
    • Ctrl/Cmd + click (to select multiple individual clips)
    • Ctrl/Cmd + A (select all)
    • Shift + click (to select a continuous range of clips)
  • Warning - The Use assets in search result toggle in the top-left hand corner can be extremely powerful, therefore use with caution. This is because it will update the metadata of ALL assets in the search, not just the one loaded
