Sessions can have various items of metadata attached to them, and saved in the
|
|
|
|
|
session file. These metadata are filled by the user via
|
|
|
|
|
<kbd class ="menu">Session > Metadata > Edit Metadata…</kbd>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
These metadata will be exported as tags in the audio and video files that
|
|
|
|
|
support it, as long as the right option is chosen at the
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="@@export-dialog">export</a> stage. All the video format can retain a
|
|
|
|
|
subset of the metadata if the <kbd class="option">Include Session Metadata</kbd>
|
|
|
|
|
is checked in the <a href="@@workflow-amp-operations#export">export video</a>
|
|
|
|
|
window, while only the Ogg-Vorbis (tagged) and FLAC (tagged)
|
|
|
|
|
audio format will be exported with the metadata (as Vorbis comment).
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Ardour can also reuse the metadata from another session file in the current
|
|
|
|
|
session, with <kbd class ="menu">Session > Metadata > Import Metadata…</kbd>.
|
|
|
|
|
This menu brings up a file selector, asking for the source ardour session file
|
|
|
|
|
to extract the data from. This can be handy when reusing a lot of information
|
|
|
|
|
(Author, Artist Name, etc…) or working on multiple tracks of the same
|
|
|
|
|
media.
