But if you mean adding "custom" metadata we don't support that at the moment, no. How would you make use of it? It would require changes in Resolve too I think to be useful there as it currently only uses pre-defined metadata keys AFAIK.
I am coming late to this party, but as someone who has worked with database systems previously, it is exceptionally useful to have user defined data elements. It doesn't matter how many fields you put into a schema, users always want something that isn't there. Usually that elements is for classifying/categorising something, not for processing it. In the case of video metadata it is more like "shot" and "scene" than "codec" and "ISO". A similar function already exists in Fusion in the Custom node, and you can also add User Controls to each node as well. One Fusion User Control I frequently add is Sequence ID where I have a series of repeating elements and they need slightly different management e.g. the size of each successive elements increases by 20%.
One area that I would use Custom Metadata is with my drone footage. It produces Hi Res ProRes or CinemaDNG files on the SSD, and Lo Res mp4 on the SD. I am constantly looking for a way to link the two versions of the same video coming from a non-BMD camera.
