Add Date/Time Stamp to Timecode Effect

The Timecode effect of CS5 Premiere Pro is a very useful feature. However, it is missing a Date/Time Stamp. I would encourage everyone to submit a feature request for this. I have enclosed one I submitted. You can cut and paste it into the Feature Request Submission Form.

Feature Request: Add Date / Time Stamp to Timecode Effect
The Timecode effect of CS5 Premiere Pro is a very useful feature. However, the Timecode effect is missing the ability to also display the Date/Time Stamp from Premiere captured video. This is a very important feature to include. Many videographers are archiving their miniDV tapes as AVI files since disk prices have become affordable. When I retrieve archived AVI files, I often need to look at the Date/Time Stamp, but unfortunately, Premiere does not offer that ability.
I would encourage you to add Date/Time Stamp capability to the Timecode effect so timecode, date, and time could be displayed all at once, or selectively picked via checkboxes.
Others in the Premiere forum have requested this capability.

Hopefully, you could add this as an update to CS5. And hopefully, as soon as possible. Thanks

I am fairly new to Adobe CS6 however I have to totally disagree with some of the replies here on this subject. The package cost me well over £1200 and I expect a say in improving it along the way if I am to progress on to CS Cloud. The suggestion that engineers could spend their time elswere is total rubbish,its what they are well paid for..to listen to consumers suggestions and act on them (I am paying for their time).  I would for one love to see the simple add in plug where the original date/time code could be added and burned into the video timeline. It is obvously not something needed by all but for some it could be essential. For my work I entirely rely on the original date/time code to be visible and burned in. My work is editing surveilance video and I also have to pixellate all faces of young persons so the addition of a date and time code plug in is something I would like to see in After Effects and Premier. Adobe add hundreds of filters/plug-ins that nobody in the world are likely to ever see or use or even asked for, so I cant't see why it would be a big task for them to include it in CS6 or Cloud for the future, especially as many ask for it.
On the suggestion of DVMPro, yes this is an excellent package which I already use along with vATS (which is quicker),  however the big downside for both these programmes is they do not combine the clips so if I put in 60. mts clips I will get  out 60 clips of what ever format I picked (limited to AVI/Wmv/AVCHD). You would then need combine and re-render the clips or work along the timeline with lots of clips (obviously not in AE as it wont combine clips along one layer....at least I cant see a way to do it (no doubt will be flamed on that one)
Sony vegas 11 also does not have the capability neither to add and burn in the original timecode however there is an excellent and tiny .dll third party extension called SVDTS that will add the original time/date/seconds to the timeline and burn in to the video. My point on this comparison is that it would not take a lot of time and work for a capable Adobe enineer to develop and implement such a plug in.
A crude way and free to actually achieve this is to use Freemake Video Converter, add all  your .mts (or what ever format they are so long as its original), turn on the Subtitle 1 option for each clip (no batch turn on Im afraid) and chose to join the clips for output to what ever file format you choose. The original timecode and date will be on your output video clip, not as pretty as DVMPro or vAts but is there and accurate.

  • Need to add date/time stamp to file name without time change creating new files

    We have setup our application to save data once a trigger event occurs. We also need the date/time stamp as part of the file name. We used Format Date/Time String and concatenated it into the file name. It all works good, but as the time changes (seconds, minutes, etc.) it causes the Write to File to create a new file with the new filename. Is there a way to create the file and save/latch/buffer the time in the file name so that it doesn't create a new file for every second?
    I've attached a shot of the relevant part of our VI. It's all in a big while loop. The data save is in a case/switch so that when it is triggered it starts saving. (The for loop is to split the data up
    into 4 different files). Like I said, it all works except new files are created every second as the time changes instead of just putting it all in one file with the initial time in the file name.

    I need a loop in order to use a shift register. I cannot stop the outer while loop (because it would stop the hardware from collecting data), and I cannot add loops inside which bogs down the processor to where the app stops. I've attached a simpler version of my VI which illustrates the problem. While the button is pressed (the trigger) it should save the data (in this case just cycle numbers) into one file with the initial date/time. But, you can see that it creates 1 file/second. I tried using shift registers, but without adding extra loops I can't see how to do it. Thanks

  • How to add date/time stamp to PDF in Acrobat 9 Pro?

    Hello,
    I'd like to add a date/time stamp to a PDF so that when I print the document, the current date/time will be printed as well.  Is it possible to do this?  I found the following posting (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/502915), but am not able to get it to work for me.  I don't really know anything about using Javascript.  Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Not sure it will work, but you can try using the app.hideMenuItem() method. See reference here.

  • Adding a Date/Time stamp to videos already created

    We have someone using Elemets 8
    They need to add in the date/time stamp to video's that are already created.
    The camcorder we have does record this information but doesn't allow that information to be put onto the screen its a Canon HD HF200
    We were told by Adobe support we can do this but they wanted $39 plus $39 an hour.
    Anyone out there able to tell me how we can get this done for free

    PrE lacks the TimeCode Effect (unless it has been added in PrE 10?), that both PrPro and Adobe After Effects has. However, even that Effect does not do date/time, just Runtime TimeCode, but with some display alternatives.
    There are two programs called DVDate. One is/was freeware, and the other was inexpensive shareware. I do not have the two links handy, but believe that either will do what the user wishes.
    I know that in the past, one valued contributor, Neale, has posted the links, and has also given the details of what each of the programs can, and cannot do. Maybe he'll drop by this thread, and fill in the blanks that I am leaving here.
    Good luck,

  • Date/Time Stamp Display

    When watching my movies I almost always wonder "when was this shot"?
    One of the things I miss the most about burning my videos to DVD instead of playing them from the tape is the ability to push a button, see the date/time stamp on the screen and then push it again to make it go away.
    I know this is a long shot, but is there anyway to get similar functionality in iMovie & iDVD?
    Right now I am playing with putting a title at the beginning of every clip in the movie with the date info and that is A LOT of work. Still it won't help me when I am viewing the middle of the clip.
    If there is no way to get the date/time stamp to appear/disappear during playback by pushing a button, is there at least a way that a title can get the date/time info for me? Maybe some variable I can type in the title (i.e.:%DATETIME%)? That would at least save me a couple steps.
    Or is there a plug-in that does something along those lines?
    I think that would be a great feature if they don't have it already (and not to hard I would think).
    Thanks

    Hi Tj
    I've wrestled with this problem ever since VHS went out of style. The old VHS would pick it up and you couldn't get rid of it. Digital got rid of it when transferred to imovie. My Sony camera can show it or remove it on it's own remote screen. I found the best way to keep track of the time stamp is when I'm done with a tape is to review it and create a data base on a hard copy. It's a hard habit to get into but once it's done it saves a ton of time. I physically number the cassette and use categories in a columnar format: NO., REAL TIME, EVENT, DESCRIPTION, COMMENT DATE, YEAR. Being a data base document I can arrange in any order I want.
    There are other advantages. By reviewing and entering the information it stays fresh in my mind. I can also add comments like: Add music and effects to this clip.
    Gee Three/slick has numerous titles of with some look like time stamps or you can create you own directly onto the clip. There is no need for a separate (title over black) title.
    Part of the fun in editing is picking the title, what font to use and be able to dazzle your viewers with special affects. Slick has one called Far far away from the Star Wars movies where the titles slowly disappear into the distance.

    How to print date & time stamp on photos?

    Three methods:
    File>process multiple files>labels. Be sure to uncheck "same as source", or the originals will be overwritten. It is best to work on duplicate files, esp. while learning.
    Use the horizontal or vertical type tool to add the information manually to each picture file
    If the same information is to be applied to several pictures, e.g. a copyright notice, use  of a brush made in PSE is very efficient

    1. Is there an easy way to add a date/time stamp on the name of the data file so that it does not overwrite the older ones every time?
    2. I tried to specify the path so that it write to another server. "\\mfldappp011\E:\Exp_AW.txt". It's not working. How should I specify the path ?

    EndFix;

    Probably easiest to call the maxl script from a command line script, then rename the exported file to include the tme stamp and copy/move it to a location.

  • How do you vary the Date/Time stamp format in File Adapters

    In the receiver channel of the File Adapter where you specify the 'File Name Scheme', you do have the option of specifying a 'File Construction Mode' of 'Add Time Stamp'.  How can you specify a different Date/Time stamp format ( eg MM/DD/YY vs YYYYMMDD vs MMDDYY, etc. ) without changing the Date/Time stamp for the entire SAP system?  Also, can you control where the Date/Time stamp appears in the filename?

    Hi,
    There are many threads discussing the same issue. Go thro the following:
    Dynamic file name (Date) in Receiver File Adapter
    Receiver File Adapter - TimeStamp
    Bhavesh's reply in above thread:
    You can use Adapter Specific Identifiers and then change the file name in the mapping. Append the tiem stamp in the format that you want and so on.
    Just use this code in an UDF,
    DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
    DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
    String SourceFileName = conf.get(key);
    java.text.SimpleDateFormat dateformat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat( "yyyyMMdd" );
    dateformat.format( new java.util.Date() );
    String newfilename=SourceFileName+dateformat;
    // change to new file name
    conf.put(key, newfilename);
    return "";

  • How to add a time stamp to an array

     Currently the VI that I have attached has the capacity to log data from the set of 14 arrays. I currently have a tick counter hooked up. However, I would like to add a time stamp that will display the elapsed time in seconds from the begining of the data logging. Could anyone help me out with that? Please see the attached VI and sorry for how messy it is, I have yet to go back and clean up the wiring. 
    the mess of arrays on the lower left hand of the while loop feed into the "Index Array" building block and from there they will be scaled (for most of the wires the multiplyer is just there so that I can see what channel they will be when I hook it up for logging) The wires then feed into a "Build Array" Building block and I assmed that is where I had to hook up the time stamp for me to be able to log it.
    Thanks,

    That tool does not exist before LabVIEW 8.6.  The original poster attached a VI from LV 8.0
    Attached is the VI where I ran Block Diagram cleanup in 8.6.1f1 and back saved to LV 8.0.  I went through and cleaned up almost all the coercion dots as well.
    The original poster should start working from this file since it is much cleaner than the one they posted.

  • Retaining AVI date/time stamp during capture to pre 9.

    I have pre 9. When capturing DV from my camcorder, how do I get pre 9 to add the clips  time and date to the avi file properties like it does for jpg's. What I get is the date I captured it to the computer. If I add "date taken" to the properties shown, it remains blank.
    I realize the time/frame stamp changes throughout the clip but it should be able to show the initial date/time stamp, for example. I sort these travel clips by oldest date first and need to be able to match them to their itinerary locations. I have a small freeware app that will strip the date/time stamp from the meta data and then I can adjust the time/date in "Organizer" but I have 100's of clips so I'd rather not go that way. I know there app's that will encode the date/time stamp visibly on the image during capture but I don't want that as I make DVD's from the clips. Do you have any advice or suggestions? I have Win 7, 64 bit, 3.2 ghz, 2 core. Thanks, Rob.

    Premiere Elements won't do this.
    You'll need a third-party program called DV Date, downloadable from the web.

  • Auto Date/Time stamp required for Numbers 3.1

    I would like to automatically add a Date/Time stamp to the last column's cell, when a person's name is selected from the pop-up menu in Column C.
    As a number of different people will be using the spreadsheet, I'd prefer not to have a keyboard short cut, as it can be easily overlooked.
    I was wondering if it were possible to use a script to copy a cell's (column D) results, containing the 'NOW()' or 'TODAY()' function, and paste the results into the 2nd cell (Column E), allowing the last column's formula to reference the 2nd cell?
    The formula in the last cell   =if($C2="","",$E2)  can then reference a static cell, rather than a live cell.
    I know enough to be dangerous, so I'm not sure if i'm heading in the right direction.
    Thanking you all in advance.

    Hi Gordon,
    Is this the same as a script?
    Good question! It's fun to see people try to define what a service is. It may be one of the least understood and appreciated features on the Mac. It was certainly a mystery to me not long ago.
    I think of a service as anything that can be made to appear in the Services menu. Apple has made that easy with Automator. You fire up Automator, create a new service "workflow" document, plop in a script, save, and see the result immediately in the Services menu. You can also send the .workflow package to someone else, who only needs to double-click to install it.
    This particular date-time service contains a short AppleScript (you can view it by opening the .workflow in Automator.  But other languages (Python, Perl, etc) and Unix utilities can be used too, as illustrated here.
    Since Numbers has decent support for AppleScript, it is quite easy for the non-technical user to "bolt on" menu choices to do quite sophisticated things that are not built into the interface itself.  I find it more accessible than (and just as powerful as) the VBA used for Excel macros. But that could be mostly a matter of familiarity.  In any case, it adds a whole new dimension to Numbers.

  • Can we sign a PDF with AD ID & date & time stamp?

    Can we sign a PDF with AD ID & date & time stamp?

    So what you really want is for your signature's appearance to contain user's ID and signing time. To do that you sign PDF with a regular digital signature and apply custom appearance to it. The "Sign" dialog contains "Appearance" field that has a drop-down list on the right which lists all available appearances and a "Create New Appearance" button. The standard/default signature appearance already contains signing time. You can create a custom appearance that includes additional information that you want to appear there. If you want your username to appear in the signature appearance you create an image file that contains your username and add this image to your custom appearance.
    Multiple users can definitely sign the same PDF. Usually the signing certificate owner's name appears in the certificate itself and is included in the standard/default signature appearance. This is not Windows username but still identifies the signer, IMO better than Windows username. I do not think you want to disclose your password by placing it in the signature appearance.
    You keep mixing two completely different and unrelated concepts: authentication and signing. I still do not understand what exactly you mean by "authentication". It has nothing to do with signature.
