Parameters:

  • metadata_type (str | dict) – metadata dict, e.g. {"Scene": "42"}, or a single metadata type

  • metadata_value (str, optional) – metadata value, only used when a single metadata type is given. Defaults to None.

Returns:

true if success, false if fail

Return type:

Deprecated:

The (metadata_type, metadata_value) calling convention is deprecated since DaVinci Resolve 21.1.0, pass a dict instead - for single keys set_metadata({"Scene": "42"}).
