The optimal metadata workflow

Manage metadata with Webgate.io

Metadata is an essential part of every production. Webgate.io provides the ideal workflow. Import metadata from ALE files or from our partner tools LockitScript and Silverstack Lab or assign metadata yourself.

Scene and Take display

And action: Webgate shows you scene and take information for every shot. Sort the clips of a shooting day in ascending order by scene and take, name or timecode and find individual scenes using the metadata search. Circle takes are labeled separately in the timeline. Only the circle takes are displayed automatically, non-circle takes can be displayed manually.

Simple metadata import

ALE Metadata

Automatic Import: Import metadata via Avid Log Exchange files (ALEs) into Webgate and add further information manually. Our open standard allows importing all fields of an ALE file. Find further information on the ALE format in our FAQs.

Metadata from partner tools

Don't lose any information and send the metadata from the Script Supervisor to Webgate at the touch of a button from the Lockit web tools. Alternatively, you can also automatically push files including the most important metadata from Silverstack Lab into Webgate. You can find out more here.

QC Comments

All comments at a glance: Use ALE files to import comments from a quality control (QC) into Webgate. All QC comments are displayed on the comment page of the Webgate Player and can be accessed directly. Only users with the corresponding rights can view comments. Export all comments for further editing as Avid marker or text files, or as Adobe XMP.
