Hello
I would like to know if it is possible to do the following using a plugin... or if I can write a plug in to do this:
I have imported a few thousand .mov files and their naming convention is: yy_mm_dd_hh_mm_ss.mov
I woild like to present this information on the client monitor as text over the top of the imported clips on the timeline.
I can already use the timecode plug in to display the clip name, however...
I would like to translate these filenames into this format: dd, month (as text), year, time
Essentially I think I will need a plug in which can translate information in a file name and represent it in a different way like this:
character 1 and 2 = year
character 4 and 5 = month
character 7 and 8 = day
character 10 and 11 = hour
character 13 and 14 = minute
in timecode plug in (or something similar):
display day, month (as text), year, hour:, minute
Any help or pointers much appreciated.
Thanks
Mark
