file names

When creating a slide show out of a group of jpeg's, is it possible to have vms display the file name of each photo on the finished rendered product? I have vms 10 and 13. I know I can do it manually using a transparent background text, but I was wondering if the program can do it automatically.

DVD Architect Studio can do this, but I'm not aware of a feature like this in Movie STudio Platinum/

I haven't found a way to do that either. Even if there was an automatic way to do that you would still have to rename each JPG photo manually and that is the hard part if you have hundreds.

Hi,

if you have some kind of SW programming experience and some time to spend, you could try to write a function for Gimp that add the file name to the picture.
Here are some info about how to modify an image with a script: http://developer.gimp.org/plug-ins.html
I am not sure if this will take less time than a manual renaming... but if you make it, then we have your push button to do the operation over and over.

Cheers

That may work if you have a simple file naming procedure like File001, File002 etc but if your files are photos of different things like a bridge, mountain, lake snooble or the , trumptower, then it's not fun to write a script that does that.

How do you do that in DVDA studio, or should I ask this in their forum?
