FILE NAME OVERLAY

[Guest]

Hi there

We are going through over 1000 Home Video Clips before we edit, title and
add effects and burn them to a final set of DVD's. We are initially burning
them all onto DVD without sorting. We will then be passing the "Draft" DVD's
around various peope who will select Clips for Inclusion or Deletion from the
final project.

Can anyone suggest a way in which we can OVERLAY THE FILE NAME all the way
through each clip so that as we browse each clip and know exactly which file
we are looking at?

We want people to be able to simply view each file and "jot down" file names
as they watch.

Any help greatly appreciated

put file into timeline of MM.
Add a title, which is the file name and drag it out as long as the clip if
you want it to be the same length as the clip.
You'll need to do it for each clip individually.

Make sure you don't save teh new file with the same name as the original or
you'll always have the file name inserted in it.
