# isCinematicVideoMetadataCaptureSupported

Returns whether capturing cinematic video metadata to the movie file is supported in the current session configuration.

```
var isCinematicVideoMetadataCaptureSupported: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Cinematic video metadata enables post-capture cinematic video editing using the Cinematic framework.

This property returns `true` when all of the following conditions are met:

- The source device’s `activeFormat` supports cinematic video metadata capture.
- The source device’s dynamic aspect ratio is 16:9 or 9:16 (or unset).
- Spatial video capture (`spatialVideoCaptureEnabled`) is not enabled.
- No other incompatible features are enabled.

When switching cameras, formats, or toggling other features, this property may change. This property is key-value observable.
