Question

Automation Blocks - add a metadata / BITC effect to an adjustement layer

Hello

I am looking to automate the addition of BITC on an adjustment reading the timecode that is in a nested sequence.

  1. drag and drop a selection of sequences in a new sequence. The selected sequences become nested sequences in the new timeline.
  2. Add adjustment layer above the video track. Add the Metadata FX to the adjustment layer. Due to the limitation of the Metadata FX, it cannot read the timecode of the nested source video, therefore, I need to copy the timecode start number from the nested source to the offset in the Metadata FX window.
  3. Each nested sequence will have a unique adjustment layer Metadata FX.

Is this possible with automation Blocks ?

Thank you
