Metadata and Timecode Effect

I hope this reaches someone and is considered.

 

I have been in need for a metadata good burn in system for Premiere Pro for a while as a long form doc editor, getting reels out for burn-ins takes infinitely longer than it needs to, as well as doing so for turnovers.

 

The new metadata and timecode effect is an improvement, but unforuntately it is a bit more of the same - only saving you time by putting several lines into one effect, rather than having multiple effects. I think I can speak for everyone when I say we don't actually want it to be an effect at all, this is an unneccesary demand on our timelines. 

 

In Premiere there is a well programmed feature in the programme monitor called Metadata Overlay. This overlay set up is perfect, can it not just be programmed so we can burn this into the export?

 

The only thing it needs really is source file name checkboxes for each timecode, and probably more lines as there's only 4. I'm not sure why an entirely new effect has been created when the already existing overlay is everything that we need.

 

Thanks!
