VIDEO DESCRIPTION
Two years ago I made a video about YAML properties, and it’s still one of the most watched videos on this channel. But Obsidian Bases changed everything — properties are now what power every base in your vault, and they’re more important than ever.
In this video I show you the bases running my real vault (my Ideas base, my YouTube library and a timeline of every note I create), how the Obsidian Web Clipper fills in properties for you, and the mistake I made four years ago that left hundreds of notes with no metadata — plus how I fix those old notes with AI in minutes instead of weeks.
If you’re new to Obsidian, stick around for the beginner tutorial at the end: building an ideas template with YAML properties and wiring it to QuickAdd, so every new note starts with the right metadata.
