I don’t know of an automativ way within Premiere Pro, but here’s a somewhat convenient manual way.

If you’re willing to do this in After Effects, it gets a whole lot easier.

Thanks Todd. I actually saw this post in my search before asking the question. I’m sure it works, but it seems a little cumbersome.

On a similar note, my initial google search showed that all editors across multiple software (final cut pro, vegas, premiere) are all asking for this feature. In the emerging tapeless world the filename display is just as important as the timecode. At least it is for us (an animation studio). I’ve submitted a feature request to make a video filter that does this. I hope someone listens — it would be great to have.

As a side note: We use FCP at work, but several key people here (including myself) have been quite giddy about PproCS5. It’s a great product and we are actively looking at making the switch at our studio. It’s small hurdles like this that we’re looking at overcoming before diving in.

Submitted. Thanks again for your help.

Solution! The effect has been added for Premiere Pro CC: just search the Effects tab for “Clip Name”. Drag it onto any clip and the file name is automatically displayed for burn-in.
