Video Properties

The Video Properties metadata properties apply to video files - the formats that Opus currently supports are AVI and WMV. Several of these properties also apply to music files (and their use with a video file would really only make sense for a music video).

  • Artists: The artist or artists responsible for this video. This is the same field (renamed) as the Authors Document Properties field. To specify multiple artists, separate them with a semi-colon (this method of supplying multiple values is used in a number of different metadata fields).
  • Author URL: A URL associated with the artist (for a music video, this might be the URL of the band's website, for example).
  • BPM: The tempo of the music, in beats-per-minute. This would mainly be applicable to music videos.
  • Composers: The composer or composers of the music. To specify multiple composers, separate them with a semi-colon.
  • Conductors: The conductor or conductors of the music. To specify multiple conductors, separate them with a semi-colon.
  • Content group: This field lets you group different videos together, for example for classical music that has distinct movements. An music video of the last movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony might have "Sym. No. 9 in D" for Content Group, while Title would be "Presto-O Freunde, nicht diese Tone-Allegro assai".
  • Copyright: A copyright message for the video.
  • Directors: The director or directors of the video. To specify multiple directors, separate them with a semi-colon.
  • Encoded by: This field is generally used for the name of the person who encoded the video, or the name of the software application they used to do it.
  • Genre: The genre of the video or music video. You can select from the drop-down list of a number of common genres, or enter your own.
  • Mood: Use this to specify the mood of the video or music video (e.g. "background music", "party", etc.)
  • Producers: The producer or producers of the video. To specify multiple producers, separate them with a semi-colon.
  • Publisher: The publisher of the video.
  • Subtitle: The Subtitle description is used to provide additional information relating to the Title, for example if the title was "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2", the subtitle might be "Live in Berlin".
  • Title: The title of the video.
  • Writers: The writer or writers of the video. To specify multiple writers, separate them with a semi-colon.
  • Year: The year the video was released.
