Create and apply tags

00:08

The metadata associated with an asset can provide information

00:11

about the footage that was shot, such as episode,

00:14

scene,

00:15

camera,

00:16

and more.

00:18

However,

00:19

sometimes you may want to categorize your assets based on something more

00:22

contextual and which doesn't fall into one of these metadata fields.

00:26

This is where tags come in handy.

00:29

Simply put, tags allow you to create custom labels for your assets and apply them

00:34

however you see fit.

00:35

For example, in this folder, we have several assets, some of which feature wildlife

00:41

and some of which don't.

00:43

If you want to be able to find all assets containing wildlife,

00:47

you can create a wildlife tag

00:49

and then apply it to those specific assets.

00:52

To do so, just click on one of the assets you wish to tag,

00:55

then click on the tag button on the right-hand side.

00:59

You can then create a customized tag, which can be anything you like.

01:06

Creating this tag adds it to the asset,

01:09

but it also makes it available to other assets within this folder.

01:13

To apply an existing tag, just click on the asset,

01:16

select the tag,

01:19

and you're done.

01:21

Note that tags are folder specific,

01:23

so any tag you create will only be available for

01:26

that folder and any sub folders created within it.
