AutoLabel

"AutoLabel 1.0" is a tool for Blender that automates the creation of text strips in the Video Sequence Editor. It allows customization of name, prefix, size, position, color, and style of labels. This feature is especially useful in storyboard work, a functionality not natively included in Blender, streamlining video editing workflows and project organization.


Very Simple! Follow these steps in Blender:

Installation:

1. Edit > Preferences
2. Add-ons > Install... (Click the button)
3. Check "Sequencer: Autolabel 1.0"

That's it! The add-on is now installed.

To Run Autolabel:

1. Go to Sequencer:
   • Add > Autolabel 1.0

Notes About Autolabel:

• Sequence Name: This is the sequence's name following your project's naming convention. For example, SeqXXX_SeqName.
• Shot Prefix: The prefix for the shot, such as a letter "C" or the word "Shot".
• Sequence Name and Shot Prefix: These will be concatenated to form the complete label.
• Shot Number Increment: Define how your shots increment.
  • Example: Increment by 1 (Shot001, Shot002) or by 10 (Shot010, Shot020).
• Destination Channel: The channel where all the text strips with labels will be created.
• Reference Channels: The channels where your labeled shots are located, usually Channel 1 or Channel 2. You can select multiple channels by separating them with commas.
• Position X and Position Y: Always edit these to adjust the position of your labels. They might appear misaligned at first!
• Font Size: Nothing more to say here, right?
• Shadow Box Check: Adds a dark box background to your labels.
• Text Color: Self-explanatory. 😊
