What you’ll learn
Learn how to import metadata in bulk into Overcast using a CSV file. This tutorial demonstrates how to upload metadata that exists separately from your media files, such as sidecar metadata, and automatically associate it with the correct assets. Batch metadata import provides a fast and efficient way to enrich large collections of videos and images without editing each asset individually.

- Import metadata using a CSV file
- Prepare a CSV file for batch metadata import
- Understand the required CSV format and headers
- Map metadata to assets using the original filename
- Associate metadata with videos and images in a project
- Enrich multiple assets in a single import
