R5C File names on video as overlay / watermark on the bottom of video

Hi I recently purchased R5C for independent film-making purpose. I noticed that the video recorded in this cam doesn't have filename appearing on the video itself like Red / Arri outputs. Is there any workaround for this?

Good Morning,

Sorry for the delay.  The camera does not allow you to impose or overlay the file name on recorded video natively in camera.  This has to be done in post using Premiere, Resolve or Final Cut.  One thing the R5 C does offer is the ability to customize file names.  Take a look at page 42 of the video user guide (Cinema OS).  This applies to FW v1.0.9.1 & 1.1.0.1.

Greetings,

Do I understand correctly?  Are you wanting to have the file name superimposed somewhere on the video?

Yes. Imposed in the recorded file itself.

To overlay R5C file names as a watermark on your video  use software like Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve  Add the filename as a text layer at the bottom great for organizing footage when working remotely
