— Metadata Presets (to the left): If you’ve used the Metadata panel of the User Preferences to create your own custom sets of metadata, you can use this drop-down to choose which one to expose. Surprisingly enough, this is set to “Default” by default.
— Metadata Groups (to the right): This drop-down menu lets you switch among the various groups of metadata that are available, grouped for specific tasks or workflows.
The heart of the Metadata Editor is a series of editable fields underneath the header that let you review and edit the different metadata criteria that are available. For more information on editing clip metadata, and on creating custom metadata presets, see Chapter 19, “Using Clip Metadata.”

The Inspector can be opened to let you customize compositing, transform, and cropping parameters for clips, as well as clip-specific retime and scaling options. Furthermore, the Inspector lets you edit the parameters of transitions, titles, and generators used in the Timeline, in order to customize
their effect.
