Clip name plugin???

[Walter Biscardi]

Are you giving them an FCP project with the sequence or trying to do a burned in window with the clip names?

If you’re giving them an FCP project with the Sequence, simply media manage the sequence into a new project and give them that.

If you want to just give them all the clip names, FCP does not burn in the names on screen like a Timecode windw.

You can easily create a New Bin in your project.

Select All in your Timeline.

Drag all the clips to the new Bin.

Now File > Export > Batch List from that Bin and create a spreadsheet of all the clips in your timeline and email that to your client.

Hi Walter,

Yeah – I was hoping to burn a DVD for them to view… I’d heard that burning the clip names wasn’t possible – would be a nice feature!

That’s a nice tip for exporting the shot list though – it’s a good second-best.

Thanks,

Al

I believe its possible using the sw from spherico.de — you export a sequence xml and their product pulls text from that (marker names, probably also clip names) and then creates a sequence full of text generators which you can paste in to your original sequence as an overlay. It’s meant for the kind of thing you’re talking about; but I don’t know more than that, haven’t tried it

Hi Lu,

Thanks for the link…

XML4Dailies looks like it should’ve done the trick. Got errors on export though.

XML2Text is pretty good though – managed to export to a nice spreadsheet so at least I’ve got a timecoded list with some of the extra data I need on it.

Many thanks,

Al

Maybe you could export an EDL of a sequence, with all your clips, and convert that to a single subtitle file for use in DVD studio pro.

The subtitle file has the start and end timecode for each subtitle, and the subtitle text. All that information would be contained in an edl export of the sequence if you included clip names.

I haven’t done this, but it seems like it should work.

Sheer genius.

Used a combination of the above… Here’s how:

Export sequence as XML
Import sequence into XML2Text (www.spherico.com/filmtools/)
Export as STL File
Import as subtitle file in DVD Studio

Worked a treat!

One thing to note – your FCP sequence should have a starting timecode of 00:00:00:00, so it matches the clip in DVD Studio.

Big big thanks to everyone.
