Show clip name audio track

[Pelle Asselbergs]

In the effect control panel you can add a clip name to show the source video name in your delivery export for sound/color. 

I would also like to show the original audio file name. But I can only choose to show video file names.

Is there a hack? Or am I missing an build-in option?

Never thought of that. No, it is a Video effect, and I see no audio effect that would do this.

It's a little tricky but here's what you need to do.

1 - Open After Effects and create a new composition with matching settings with your Premiere sequence.

2 - Copy all your audio clips from Premiere's sequence and paste them in After Effect's composition.

3 - In After Effects, create a new text layer and lay it on the very top of your pasted audio clips.

4 - Expand your text layer > text > alt+click on Source Text.

5 - Copy and paste the following expression.

txt = "";
for (i = 1; i <= thisComp.numLayers; i++){
if (i == index) continue;
L = thisComp.layer(i);
if (! (L.audioActive)) continue;
try{
txt = L.source.name;
}catch(err){
txt = L.name
}
break;
}
txt

6 - Adjust the text's properties as you see fit.

7 - In Premiere Pro, import the After Effects project you just created.

8 - Put the imported composition on top of your timeline.

One other work around for this is to rename your audio files to be the same name as your video clip files.  This worked for me as each take was a different sound file, so it paired nicely when I renamed all the audio clips to match all of the names of the video clips.  Then when the clip name outputs on the screen, you can match it up much easier to the audio file since it has the same name.  This probably won't work for music bed tracks but is great for dialog tracks.
