Have you ever wanted to overlay the name of each clip in your sequence timeline? I can’t say I have, but I know it could come in handy if someone ever wanted to see the filename of each clip you used in the edit.
Just add an Adjustment Layer on the video track above the clips in your timeline. Then find the “Clip Name” effect in your Effects list (Effects > Video Effects > Video > Clip Name) and drag it on to your Adjustment Layer.
Now head over to your “Effects Control Panel” and find your “Clip Name” Effect. Change the “Source Track” to the Video Source Layer with your clips on it. In my case, V1.
Now you can see each clip name overlayed above your video clip. Export that sucker and send it to your client for some really great micromanagement! Just kidding.
This saved my life, thank you so much.
I am creating a slide show of our high school seniors. Each senior has a picture and the file name is their name. I wanted to use the clip name to just have their name show onto their picture. When I do this though it has their name.jpg is there a way to remove .jpg or do I have to go through each file and remove the .jpg
This was so handy. Thanks for making and posting the details. I am surprised more people haven’t commented on it. But I had to do a lot searches with different words to find it. There are similar scripts in After Effects, but this is the only method I’ve seen for PPro. Thanks very much again!
