Inspect Panel

The Inspect Panel in Tin Man is a dynamic metadata interface designed to provide clear, editable insight into a clip's technical and production information. It helps users review, edit, and preserve essential metadata for each media file in the File List.

Overview

The panel is split into two major metadata zones:

  1. Technical Metadata – auto-populated, read-only fields based on source file analysis

  2. Editable Production Metadata – user-adjustable fields for organizing and exporting clips effectively

Technical Metadata Fields

These fields are detected automatically and cannot be edited:

  • File Name – Full name of the media file

  • Path – Directory path on disk

  • Size – File size (GB)

  • Duration – Clip length in timecode

  • Frame Rate – Frames per second (e.g., 24fps)

  • TimeCode – SMPTE timecode with base rate (this can be edited in the Interpret Properties panel)

  • Date Created – File creation date

  • Video Codec – Detected video compression format

  • Resolution – Full raster + pixel aspect ratio (e.g., 5792x4854 (2.00))

  • Field Type – Progressive or Interlaced

  • Color Space – Source color encoding and gamma (e.g., Sony S-Gamut3.Cine/S-Log3)

  • Audio Codec – Sample resolution and frequency

  • Channels – Number of audio channels and track distribution

  • Camera Mode, Camera SN, Camera Firmware, Aperture, Lens Mode, Lens SN, ISO, White Balance, Tint, Shutter Angle,– Camera settings from embedded metadata (if available)

Editable Production Metadata

These fields can be edited per clip and are preserved across sessions via the internal database:

  • Clip Name

  • Company

  • Production

  • Reel

  • Scene

  • Shot

  • Take

  • Good Take

  • Comments

  • Description

  • Director

  • DP
