Hi guys,

Sorry for the noob question but I am seriously considering buying Basehead for dialogue post-production. Now an info I would be very interested in having beforehand is metadata fields characters restriction. Is the max character restriction 255 or can some metadata fields go higher than that?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Seb

The only restriction I know of is the BEXT [description] is limited to 128 characters.  I would never try anything more than 255 in other fields also.

But to be completely honest if you are tagging files with more than 7 words....You picked the wrong seven words ...haha  😉
When I was cutting sound for films I'd skip right past the records with super long descriptions or caps and always click on the records with cleaner and shorter metadata.
