Viewing your upload options

00:09

When uploading to Flow Capture,

00:11

you have the flexibility to specify the source of your metadata.

00:15

Metadata can be extracted from ALEs,

00:17

XMLs,

00:19

and/or WAVs provided by your onset

00:22

DIT.

00:23

Simply check the appropriate option to tell the

00:25

platform where to extract your metadata from.

00:29

It's important to note that Flow Capture keys off

00:32

file names when applying metadata from sidecar files.

00:35

So you'll need to make sure that those match in both the

00:37

assets you're uploading and wherever the metadata is being extracted from.

00:43

If metadata has already been applied and you have a new metadata file to upload,

00:47

you can instruct Flow Capture to overwrite the existing metadata.

00:51

Just check the overwrite existing metadata checkbox and it will replace the

00:56

current metadata in your Flow Capture folder with the newly supplied information.

01:01

It's important to note, however, that a blank field in your new

01:05

sidecar file will not replace a metadata field

01:07

in Flow Capture that already contains content.

01:14

For added precision, you can apply metadata exclusively to a selected batch,

01:19

which is especially helpful if you have assets

01:21

with identical file names spread across different batches.
