I'm glad you mentioned this.  I have hundreds of video clips on my Mac and I
add more all the time.  I was planning to use the spotlight comments field
to store metadata about these video files.  That way, I could write a
detailed description and find files by searching Spotlight.  I guess I
better rethink that plan.
