The current Metadata effect was a good attempt to accomodate more advanced burn-in needs but it's capabilities are still very undercooked.
Here are some key features that I find missing and really need to be adressed to make this a usable tool for professional work.
- Ability to define a font (globally, not per Line)
- Per Line option for text alignment (left, center, right)
- Metadata option for Sequence Name
Especially point 2 is incredibly important because you are otherwise forced to place all metadata on the left of the canvas if the string as varying width depending on the source input.
e.g. clip name 1 = C0041.MP4, clip name 2 = B001C001_180327_R1ZA.mov
Putting this data center in canvas looks completely off when the longer name displays. Putting it on the right makes the longer name totally cut off.
Hope to see this addressed soon.
