How can I efficiently batch add text to videos with varying lengths?

Question

How can I efficiently batch add text to videos with varying lengths, incorporating the title of each file as a label or subtitle? I'm aware of the MOGRT method, but it seems cumbersome as it involves opening each file individually, applying the MOGRT, and then exporting each file separately. Is there a more streamlined approach or tool that can automate this process for all files within a folder?

You have the option enabled to only process the selected items. That means, items are only processed if they are A) contained in the bin "Videos" and also B) selected in the project panel

You probably want to uncheck that option?

You could create a custom automation with my (paid) extension Automation Blocks.

With Automation Blocks you can implement your own tasks by combining little blocks like lego bricks. In your case something like this:
for each clip in a particular bin

create a new sequence with that clip (in track V1)

insert a mogrt in V2

set the duration of the mogrt to the duration of the clip

set the text of the mogrt to the name of the clip (or whatever else you want to use as text).
