Cosmo Project File Index Action

With the help of the Project File Index Action, it is possible to index a project file (Premiere / After Effects). It is recommended to only do this when the project is closed. The indexing extracts all information from the project. These include:

• Folder structures and folder names

• Files and metadata

• Sequences

All changes that are detected during indexing compared to the status in Cosmo are changed in Cosmo. It is possible to define that the "indexed_assets" trigger is triggered for newly found assets and the information on these assets is transferred.

In addition, the "unindexed_assets" trigger is triggered for assets that have been removed from the project. Within a stream that is triggered by this trigger, it is possible to check whether these removed assets are still available in other projects or not. Every asset that is removed from a project and is no longer available in any other project is recorded in the database as an orphan clip, but is no longer accessible.

Within the node it is possible to define advanced indexing for the project file. If checked, the following information about sequences will also be extracted:

• Source and destination time code of all assets on the timeline

• Track that was used per asset

• Metadata of the assets

This information is not visualized in Cosmo but is available in the database.
