Audio Object Metadata

The Audio Object Metadata view provides detailed information about the metadata of the currently selected Audio Object. In order to have content shown in this view, you must select an Audio Object in the Audio Object List. The information shown in this view is based on the current profiler cursor time.

Metadata is a collection of information stored along with the Audio Object. Metadata includes the positioning information from Wwise, as well as the custom Metadata plug-in’s information inserted from the Actor-Mixer Hierarchy or the Master-Mixer Hierarchy.

Metadata can be used by an Effect plug-in or by an endpoint to render Audio Objects. For more information on Metadata, refer to Metadata.

	Note
	To have information in this view, you must enable Audio Object Data in the Profiler Settings prior to capturing data, and you must select a point in time from the capture.

Interface Element

Source

Shows where this metadata was set in the Wwise project, if it is a user-applied metadata. For example, if the metadata was added to an Actor-Mixer object, you would see the Actor-Mixer object here. Double-clicking the object will open the view where the metadata is defined.

Opens a search field where standard alphanumeric entries filter out unmatching elements from the view. Learn more in Using Tables.

Click the Close icon to the left of the search icon to close the search field and remove the filter.

	Note
	The searches do not include elements in collapsed nodes of the List View, Query Editor, MIDI Keymap Editor, and Reference View.
