The Text: Simple filter supports various keywords that will be replaced by Shotcut. Keywords start and end with a “#” character. Those keywords include:
- #timecode# or #smpte_df#: The SMPTE drop frame timecode of the frame
- #smpte_ndf#: The SMPTE non-drop frame timecode of the frame
- #frame#: The frame number of the frame
- #filedate#: The file modification date of the source file
- #localfiledate#: The local file date of the source file (adjusted for time zone)
- #localtime#: The current time of day (adjusted for time zone)
- #resource#: The file name of the source file
- #createdate#: The creation date of the source file. This can be set on the clip in the playlist, else it defaults to the file modification date
To display an actual “#” character, type “\#”.
