Asset to Video Overlay is a REAPER script that displays the names of currently playing items directly on your video.

Why use this tool?

When designing sound for an animation or gameplay video, especially when someone else will handle implementation, it’s often helpful to provide a reference video that shows exactly when each asset should be triggered.

Manually adding video processors and repositioning overlays to avoid overlap can quickly become tedious and time-consuming. This tool automates the entire process, letting you generate clean, non-overlapping asset name overlays on your video in just a few clicks.

How It Works

This tool automatically adds video processors to your items, displaying their asset names directly on top of the video. It detects when multiple items with overlays occur at the same time and dynamically adjusts their positions to prevent overlap.

From the UI, you can easily customize the appearance of the overlays, including text size, color, background, and positioning.
