Ooh, Look At All This Juicy Metadata

The media details menu is used to display:

Stuff About Your Pic or Vid

This is the nitty-gritty 411 about the asset & includes:

  • What Kinda Thing Is This is the type of media asset. This can be either Image or Video (wow, choices).
  • What's It Called is the title provided by the media source, or in lieu of that, the filename of the imported asset. You can edit the name of the media that appears (groundbreaking, we know).
  • How Thicc Is It is the size of the file in human-readable form.
  • How Big Tho describes the size of the asset in pixels as width x height.
  • How Long's It Play is the length of time that the asset is playable in human-readable form. This is empty for image assets (because pics don't move, duh).

Compress This Thing

The file section displays the file name of the media item. If the file can be further compressed (aka we can make it skinnier), a disclosure indicator appears. Tapping on the row provides options for reducing the size of the media asset (aka actually saving your storage, you're welcome).

If the file is missing for any reason (oops), you can tap on this row to search for another file that matches the file type to replace the original file (we got u fam).

How It Plays

The playback section is available for video assets & provides the lowdown on how the video should be played. These attributes include:

  • Just Hit Play Already will start playing video assets immediately upon loading. Turn this option off if you would like to control playback via an action (because sometimes you wanna be the boss).
  • Loop It is a switch that determines if the video asset repeats from the beginning when the playback is finished. By default, videos will repeat. This can be turned off for videos assets such as countdowns (so it doesn't drive everyone bananas).
  • Speed It Up or Slow It Down allows you to adjust how fast or slow the video is played. By default, videos playback at a rate of 100%. This will be the natural speed of the video. You can adjust the playback rate of the video from one of the following options: Reverse: 200%, 150%, 100%, 66%, 50%; Still; Playback: 0%, 50%, 66%, 80%, 100%, 125%, 150% and 200%
  • Crank the Volume determines the volume level to use for playback. Video files are muted by default (because we hate fun). You can enable audio on the video by adjusting the volume. Tap on the minus button to move quickly to 100%. You can adjust volume in 1% increments using the stepper control to the right (we're very precise like that).
