Question

Can you use Automation Blocks to version and create titles in slates?

I work in studio in post and we are required to have a 2 second slate for every edit we create.

 

The slate holds information such as; sequence name, duration, date, client, version number, audio mix, and editor.

 

It would be great to set up an automation block that can take information such as clip duration (minus the 2s slate), sequence name, date and updates the text on the slate.

 

Premiere Pro 24.5.0

You could create an Ae mogrt and then populate it with Automation Blocks.

See these workflows:

https://docs.mamoworld.com/automation-blocks/tools-pr/templateTools

 

Instead of reading the data from a spreadsheet, you can also create a UI to enter the data, similar to what I do here in Ae:
https://docs.mamoworld.com/automation-blocks/tutorials-ae/writeCustomTemplateTool

or infos like sequence name and date could be generated automatically.

 

A tool could do the following

1) import the mogrt 

2) insert mogrt project item into the active sequence

3) set the mogrt texts based on the user input
