  • How to automatically add file names into the picture?

    Posted by Michal Bronec on August 28, 2012 at 3:01 pm

    I need to render a lot of clips I shot today and upload it on Vimeo. My client then look at the videos and give me some comments to particular shots. The shots are very similar, so I need a way how to automatically “mark” them. My client then tell me for example “shot MVI_3968.MOV needs to be reshot etc.” Is is it possible?

    Well, i hope i understand your question correctly. If you
    want them named automatically on the timeline, you go to
    View and select Active take information. Then if you want to
    rename a particular clip’s active take name, you right click
    on it, go to Take and then Rename active and make your change.

    If Steve’s suggestion isn’t what you need, Excalibur has a tool called Quick Labels and Vegasaur has one called Text Generation Wizard.

    Nice tip, but this is not what I ment. I need the file names in the rendered video (like subtitles).

    Text Generation Wizard will do it

    If none of what is recommended to you above is not what you are
    looking for, then what you want cannot be done that way.

    [Michal Bronec] “Nice tip, but this is not what I ment. I need the file names in the rendered video (like subtitles).”

    The two products I recommended will do what you want.
    I’ve used Excalibur for this purpose and Aleksey is the developer of Vegasaur so I’m pretty sure he knows what it can do 🙂

    Another way you could do it is to put a time stamp on your video and just let him or her note the time where they want changes.

    Still, Using time stamp on your video as Roger mentioned
    is a far easier method for both you and your clients.
