# cinematicVideoMetadata

A constant that identifies Cinematic video metadata for post-capture Cinematic video editing.

```
static let cinematicVideoMetadata: AVMetadataObject.ObjectType
```

## Discussion

This metadata object type is only available when the source [`AVCaptureDevice`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureDevice)’s `activeFormat` has `AVCaptureDeviceFormat/isCinematicVideoMetadataCaptureSupported` equal to `true`. It can therefore appear and disappear from [`availableMetadataObjectTypes`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureMetadataOutput/availableMetadataObjectTypes) as the active format changes; observers should not assume it is statically available for the lifetime of the session.
