Metadata & Timecode Burn-in effect Allow additional metadata columns

Community Beginner ,

The new Metadata & Timecode Burn-in effect is great but has a limited amount of metadata you are allowed to pull from. It should have the ability to pull from any type of metadata that you can enter. While I understand limiting in the drop down menu, it would be nice to have an "other" selection that would open up something like the metadata workspace to choose from. 

 

Also not sure if this would require additonal implementation but we really need a "sequence name" option as one of the burn ins.

We also need the metadata for 'city, country, province' too please.

Honestly, why in the world is this effect limited, anything that is visable in the project window should work with this effect please.

 

 

Is there any 3rd party tools that will allow all this other metadata to be overlayed, I need the location information currently....

+1 to this. Be very useful to have

 

Sequence Name

 

and some of the other Sequence metadata to use as conduits:

Description
Comment
Log Note
Scene

Shot
Client
Good

Why?

In Avid we use the timecode burn in for slates - e.g. running time, out words, notes etc. Means it is easily visible in a bin, stays with the sequence and is very easy to overtype (e.g. easier than text effect or mogrt). 

NB running time is not the same as sequence duration (one of the few items of sequence metadata available currently) as there is the slate, pre-vision, living hold etc.
