  How to show name of current clip in composer window?

  Posted by Chris King on June 13, 2013 at 9:34 pm

  Hopefully a simple question: is there any sort of reader in the effects that displays the name of the current clip over the footage as the sequence plays (in the same vein as the TC reader)?

  Thanks!

  The TC generator will display clip name when set up to do so. Drop it on the top track and set up readers as needed. Different ones can be saved off to a bin.

  That’s exactly what I was looking for, thanks Michael!

  So I’ll describe what I did quickly in case anyone follows their googled troubles to this thread:

  Dropped Timecode Burn-In on empty track at top of the sequence> Effect Mode> Clicked “Timecode” dropdown menu under Display 1 and changed it to “Source Clip Name”. Voila.

  Awesome, thanks again.
