Hi there,

is there any chance to get lens data (lens type, focal length, aperture) burn into the video output?
I have a pretty huge project and the client want's to include some information about the lens used for the shoot.
And I DON'T WANNA build a text layer for each of the 1327 clips in the timeline

Thanks

Those parameters are not included with the Burn-In feature. You'll have to add them manually.

(Or maybe by script, but I don't know anything about that.)

F***

OK, thanks

Would be a great idea to add that, now that BM is reading lens data in their cameras.
But as a workaround, I'd use an existing field and put the data there when shooting. Still less work than doing it in post.
