Filein Scripting Questions

[user_deleted]

I was just curious to know if there was anyway to manipulate the {filename._curImageName} command so you didnt get the whole string, but just part of it. I want to input this into a text node so i can lay it over footage to create a slate.

Also i was wondering if there was any way to automatically change the name of a fileIn to "input" upon bringing it in the script.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Try this macro. I made it just for this purpose.

The macro is using a text node. Try feeding its output into an 'add text' node
to build up the rest of the slate info.

I have updated the macro to turn off the bgd image so the text can be keyed
over any image.
