Q: Planning question metadata set vs. group
Trying to figure out if I should just stay with a single metadata set and then multiple metadata groups.
For example, say there are two different assets b-roll and finished shows. (neither are uploaded from projects but one at a time as single clips)
While they are "different" assets (in some minds) they are still basic QT movies.
The difference will be during the upload, they will have different data entry fields. B-roll will have the shooter, location fields while the finished show will have director and rights fields. I will need to create different metadata groups to do that, but is there any real reason to make different metadata sets?

If you use 1 single Metadata Set you'll have both groups in the same asset regardless of the clip type and you might have some issues with users filling up the wrong group or so. If you use 2 metadata sets AND 2 groups you can separate both types of clips so there's no confusion and you'll see and will be able to catalog only the right group for that asset. You can also have more control on the permissions for both types since you can filter trait permissions, asset filter and production filter depending on the metadata set (you cannot do that with groups)
Best regards
