How does Premiere Pro handle metadata?

Premiere Pro preserves the metadata for viewing in the Properties window (Figure 3), but doesn’t let you edit or add to it, or even search by it.

Does Premiere Pro edit the audio and video natively?

Yes, it doesn’t transcode any of the imported files. If you open up the Property window, you would see P2 Movie as the Type.

Can Premiere Pro export MXF?

Yup. Choose File > Export to Panasonic P2, and you’ll see the options shown in Figure 4. Premiere Pro handles everything, naming the separate files and creating the XML file that glues all the files together and contains the metadata.
