+ Sessions can have various items of metadata attached to them, and saved in the + session file. These metadata are filled by the user via + Session > Metadata > Edit Metadata…. +

+

+ These metadata will be exported as tags in the audio and video files that + support it, as long as the right option is chosen at the + export stage. All the video format can retain a + subset of the metadata if the Include Session Metadata + is checked in the export video + window, while only the Ogg-Vorbis (tagged) and FLAC (tagged) + audio format will be exported with the metadata (as Vorbis comment). +

+

+ Ardour can also reuse the metadata from another session file in the current + session, with Session > Metadata > Import Metadata…. + This menu brings up a file selector, asking for the source ardour session file + to extract the data from. This can be handy when reusing a lot of information + (Author, Artist Name, etc…) or working on multiple tracks of the same + media. +
