get item notes on video processor , possible?

[deeb]

I have one track with video processor and several item notes . I would like a way to use text overlay preset to display in the video window the text of the item notes.
Is this possible?

Thank you

Working on something like that.

I guess I'll finish a first version so you can write a Lua-script which allows feeding such a VideoProcessor-preset at runtime.
So you will be able to display anything you want directly from Lua.

Thank you for reply and efforts!
I am not sure , but item names aren't already able to be showed in video processor? if so item notes makes so much more sense to me to be supported..

I think markertexts, regiontexts, takemarker-texts, item-notes would all be nice to have natively.
I think, only take-names are supported yet. Iirc, leave the text in the preset blank to show them but I might be wrong.

If you use:
#text="";
in the Text Overlay preset, there is this line of code:
strcmp(#text,"")==0 ? input_get_name(-1,#text);

which gets the item take name and will overlay that.

X-Raym has a script:
Convert selected item notes to take name.lua
which will push your notes into the take name so that the Video Processor can see it.

Does this support newlines as well?

[Sid]

It doesn't handle new line, so I change the new line into tilde on the way into the
take name and then split the text on the tilde in the video processor code.

I have mostly a X-Raym_Set selected items video processor text to current regions.lua script which could be ported to item notes if needed. and added to the pack! :P
