    Hi

    I am using SonyVegas 6 to create a photo slideshow – is it possible to display the name of each picture as a caption? I don’t want to do it manually as there is over 400 pictures. Alternatively, a number somewhere just to identify which picture we’re on at the moment?

    Thanks in advance

    Download the most current version of Excalibur and check out the new “Quick Labels” tool. You can find more details by clicking on “What’s New” at https://www.jetdv.com/excalibur

    This will let you label them all in a matter of seconds.

    Yes, but if you want a different caption for each picture, you will have to do each one manually. I just did one for myself on my vacations, and what I did was add text, then used the pan/zoom to bring it up on the screen from below, then let it stay on the screen for all the following pictures that I took during the Alaska trip (even if it was going through Canada), then had it slide off the screen during the last pic.

    The good thing about the Quick Labels tool is that it WILL name each one separately (for the name of the file) for you. You don’t have to manually change anything! Very quick and easy.

    HI Ed,

    With the Excalibur 4.6.2, do you get the training DVD with it? If not, where can I order the whole package?

    Hi Edward

    Thanks for the info. Do you know if the evaluation demo is fully working? I’m asking becuase $100 is quite expensive for a one-off exercise – this is not something I’m going to be using regularly.

    If it’s not – is there an alternative way? All I really want to do is put a caption up with an incrementing number on each of the photos in the slideshow.

    Thanks

    It is 100% fully functional for 2 weeks in demo mode.
