Is there a way to have Magix Video Edit Pro use the filename of a picture as an automatic title on screen?
If one has a "slide show" containing hundreds or more pictures in a movie, it would be nice to have the filename appear somewhere on the screen for reference or clarification. Doing a title manually for each picture would take a long time...
Hi,
I haven't found a way to do this and I doubt that it can be done. It is not one of the objectives of making a movie. The files can change names and locations. If you need to know what they are, all is available under Settings, Movie, Movie information, or by opening the Object properties of each object. If you really need reference or more information, the person watching the video/slideshow only has to give the time from the start and you can look it up quickly in MEP.
Maybe someone else has seen how to do this.
The point for me is to not have to enter the file description (ie: "New York, summer vacation 2015.jpg" for example) as a manual title.
The file name shouldn't change, because I think if you change the actual stored filename, the movie project no longer recognizes it.
I just did a project with 2,400 35mm slides that were converted to JPG files and then imported them into a movie project. It would be a real pain to have to enter that many titles to appear ...
I occasionally use an e-book package called FlipAlbum, that has a provision for showing the filename associated with an image file at the top of the screen. Unfortunately FlipAlbum is designed to only run on Microsoft Windows PC's off a CD, flashdrive, hard drive or memory card, which is why I'd rather use Magix and make a DVD or BD disk that can be used on any standard player...
Is there a "suggestion box" at Magix somewhere? They seem to have an option for inserting a file date, just not the file name...
I also use a software called "FlipAlbum", that automatically puts the filename as the title above each image....
This is a needed feature when creating a "movie" from old slides and negatives as a DVD or BluRay disk, so the people watching this would have no access to the original project and it's filenames. If Magix can insert the filedate automatically, why not the name?
