    displaying the .MP4 file name in a gauge?

    I occasionally want to display the file name that my GoPro creates on the overlays. I expect that somewhere in the existing parameters and data sources is the name of the file. Can anyone point me to the name and how I can display it in a text field?

    According to the documentation (https://racerender.com/RR3/docs/DispObjEnhanced.html), there's an "InputName" variable that will display the name of the data file.

    Here's an object that will do that:
    DataFile Name.rro

    Unfortunately, that only works for data files since those are the only things selectable as inputs; not videos. For videos, you'd probably need to add a Text display object, and manually type in the name. You can use the Time at the top of the Display Object Properties to segment out different portions of the timeline so that you can change the text displayed if you have a second video file after the first.
