Question

How do I access metadata like the "description" or "Tape Name" fields of a clip in a sequence for export to a spreadsheet using Automation Blocks?

I have watched this video 

which tells you how to export some metadata to a spreadsheet, but it uses “Get Attribute Name” under “Sequence Clips.” Unfortunately, metadata fields like “Description,” “Tape Name,” “Scene,” etc. do not seem to be available there. Can someone tell me where to find them?

 

Many thanks!

    You need to use the “Get Metadata of Project Item”-Block instead of “Get Attribute of Project Item”.
