Overview
The aa:time-based resource represents the time-based annotation of an asset.
Properties
The aa:time-based resource has the following properties:
offsetToAssetStart |
The offset from media start to asset start, in frames. |
|---|---|
videoStartTC |
The timecode the segments of this resource (see segments) are relative too. A segment with a Please note:
|
editRate |
The edit rate of the asset. The frame numbers in the segments relate to this edit rate. The value is a rational number. Typical values:
|
dropFrame |
true if the |
assetDuration |
New in MC | Cloud UX 2022.12 The length of the asset in frames (or milliseconds if the has has no valid frame rate). The value corresponds to the common.duration property of the aa:asset resource. An asset can reference only a part of the full video, meaning that the assetDuration is not necessarily the same as the duration of the video. |
layers |
Array with one item for each layers of time-based annotation. In MediaCentral Asset Management, there’s one layer per stratum. In MediaCentral Production Management there is one layer of restrictions and one layer per track of markers. |
Each layer item has the following properties:
name |
The name of the layer. In MediaCentral Asset Management, this is the name of the stratum. In MediaCentral Production Management, this is marker or restriction. |
|---|---|
segments |
An array with one item for each segment in this layer. In MediaCentral Production Management, this is marker or restriction. |
Each segment item has the following properties:
id |
Identifier of the segment. The value is unique within a layer for an asset. It is not unique across layers or across assets. |
|---|---|
start |
Start of the segment. The value is a frame number relative to the start of the video. |
duration |
The duration of the segment. The value is a number of frames. |
attributes |
An array of attribute items for the segment. |
userName |
The name of the user in MediaCentral Production Management for markers. |
Each segment attribute has the following properties:
name |
The name of the attribute |
|---|---|
value |
The value of the attribute |
type |
Type of the attribute. If not present, the attribute is a string attribute. See aa:attributes for details. |
Link Relations

Description
The aa:time-based resource represents the time-based annotation of an asset.
The data model of the layers, the available segment attributes and GUI layout information are described in the datamodel:asset-model resource.
