If you've already done some media enrichment in the past, the list of generated metadata drafts displays. Simply click Generate new to navigate to the Enrich metadata screen.



3. Type instructions to match your desired outcome. You can also click on any of the available tags to populate the box with examples of popular instructions that could be given. Please note that some of the available tags require you to complete the instructions. Once you click on a tag, a drop-down box displays with suggestions for additional text instructions. You may also type the text in manually if none of the suggestions fit your needs.
   1. Tone of Voice - Describe the tone of voice with which you would like the metadata to be created.

   3. Target audience - Tailor the metadata to a target audience.
   4. Add Title Prefix - Add a descriptor at the beginning of the title.
4. Adjust the sliding scale with your cursor to define how long you want your metadata to be - Short, Average, or Long. The longer your metadata, the more detailed it will be. Short = approximately 20-50 words, Average = approximately 50-100 words, and Long = approximately 100-250 words.

   

5. Select the output language for the generated title, description, and tags. The dropdown includes both Last used languages and All languages.
