Shot Metadata

< Previous | Contents | Manuals Home | Boris FX | Next >

All metadata items are available through Shot.metanum or Shot.metastr, depending on their type, (even if it isn't listed below), in addition to through the Meta*() functions above. The numbers are labeled with # below. For example, focus is accessed with shot.metanum.focus. You can use these to easily access any metadata item, ie that you see with the Metadata Export Single Frame.

Equivalent to using Shot.MetaValue(). All metadata is read-only.

.exposure #Exposure time in seconds.

.fnumber #Lens f-number in f-stops.

.focal #Lens focal length in mm.

.focus #Lens focus distance in mm.

.iso #Camera iso rating when shooting.

.pixelAspect #Pixel aspect ratio

.plateHeight #Height of the plate (sensor) corresponding to the as-delivered image, in mm.

.plateWidth #Width of the plate (sensor) corresponding to the as-delivered image, in mm.

.shootDate Shooting date of the shot 2023-12-12.

.shootTime Shooting time of the shot HH:MM:SS.

.shutter #Exposure as a shutter angle

.timecode Timecode, HH:MM:SS:FF. Might be absolute or relative.

.timestamp #Time of the frame vs the movie's start, in seconds.

The “Metadata/Load focus track from metadata” script can copy any named numeric metadata item into the display-only Obj.focus track, where it can be conveniently viewed in the graph editor.
