MetaSync Features in Avid Editing Systems
Avid editing systems include the following MetaSync features:
  MetaSync tracks (or Meta tracks) extend the existing editing workflow by providing a way to add metadata to the Timeline. Meta tracks allow you to synchronize enhancements with video and audio tracks in a sequence.
  Meta clips (or enhancement clips) are master clips that represent enhancements in a bin. You can work with Meta clips in the same way that you work with other bin objects, such as video clips, audio clips, and graphics. You can use the AutoSync feature to link Meta clips with audio and video clips. The Avid system's database manages Meta clips through unique IDs created by MetaSync Manager.
  You can refresh enhancements to immediately update both the metadata contained in the enhancements and the content that the enhancements point to.
  (Windows only) If a graphic artist updates an HTML file, you can refresh the enhancement and signal the Avid editing system to create a new graphic for the file.
  You can start an application from an enhancement, either in a bin or in the Timeline. For example, if you are working with a file from a scriptwriting program, you can open the scriptwriting program from an enhancement that points to the file.
