Add time stamp in Final Cut?

In Final Cut is there any way to add a time stamp, like what you get on a consumer camcorder? The customer wants the date and time to show on the final video. The time and date was not recorded when I recorded the event.

In the mean time, to get this project done, it looks like I'm editing 60 tiny titles for my one hour video.
I'm not expert in Motion, but if you already have it, give yourself 5-10 minutes to try and publish the Time Date generator. The basic steps are (I'm doing this from memory so the names of things might be wrong):
1. Sart up Motion and choose a new FCPX Generator template project. Set the project settings that match your own project settings in FCPX.
2. Drag the Time Date Generator into the project.
3. Publish all the parameters you might want to change in FCPXby right clicking on them and selecting publish parameter.
4. Save the project. this will ask you for a name and category, which once saved, automatically appear in FCPX.
5. Drag that one new generator to your project, change the duration to fill your whole timeline, and set the parameters to your starting date/time.

  • Appending and add time stamp at a time........

    Hi all,
    i am working on a scenario...
    it is file based..no mapping and bpm can be used.
    I need to pick up file through xi and append it and put in the target with time stamp to it.
    we can achieve this if mapping or bpm is allowed.....
    But,in file processing we can use only one option at a time.....
    I found a way:
    scenario one: files will be appened and kept in a temparory folder
    using another scenario we will pick up the appeneded file and add time stamp and keep in target structure...
    but i dont think this is advisable...
    please suggest me any other ways to achieve this...(can run operating system command be helpfull??)
    thanks in advance..
    Regards,
    Kiran.

    HI,
    Yes you are right, Appending and adding Time Stamp will not be possible simultaneously.

    But some how you have to use mapping for it. Then if its allowed to use the mapping then as you have suggested, should have to go for two scenarios. No alternative,
    Probably also you can try with Customized Adapter Module for this.

  • File adapter- Add time stamp

    Dear All,
    Scenario:-
    File to Proxy and Acknowledgement SAP to File.
    Once the file is received by SAP and first ack is send as recepit of file to Legacy system, after that the process goes ahead and do other validation and the same outbound proxy is triggered and send the respeonce.
    Now in Ack i am using the same strucutre to send the file receipt and the other response and in file adapter I am differentiatiing the file with Add time stamp option.
    Problem:-
    My Ack Response from R3 is coming very immidiately. For example Reciept time stamp and other response time stamp is same.
    Hence my legacy system is not able to differentiate which is the first flow. Ideally after receipt the other file will be seen by Legacy.
    How can I resolve the problem in case when the time stamp for both the flow is same.
    I can see Add time stamp option has yyyyMMdd-HHmmss-SSS wat is SSS stands for?
    Chirag.

    Hi,
    My Ack Response from R3 is coming very immidiately. For example Reciept time stamp and other response time stamp is same.
    Request / response timestamp can't be same, even if it happens at real time.
    I can see Add time stamp option has yyyyMMdd-HHmmss-SSS wat is SSS stands for?
    SSS is milliseconds having values between 000-999.

  • How can we define time stamp in rough cut planning profile

    Hi all
    There is no time stamp(From date to date) in Rough cut planning profile and it is just time span (0-5 ,5-10,... workdays) . If I have different capacity for my resource in different intervals how should I define it so that in planning table it can take it to account and show me requirement versus avalilable capacity acoordingly.Note that we are working with repetitive plannig and our resources are lines which have different production rate between each interval.

    Dear,
    In REM you can use planning table through MF50 for your requirement.

  • Receiver FTP processing parameters should not add time stamp

    Hi Gurus,
               I want to write the file at receiver end with the same name as in source directory.. (I dont want the time stamp to be added to my file at receiver side)
             For that i have configured processing parameters as
                1) File Construction mode --- create
                2) checked Overwrite existing file
                3) Put File -
    use temporary file
                4) Temporary File Name Scheme --- rec_*.tmp
                5) File type -
    binary
    But the files are not written in target directory..
    How to troubleshoot it...
    Thanks and Regards,
    govada.

    Hi,
    open RWB - coomponent monitoring
    and then - adapter monitoring or communication channel monitoring
    (depending on SP of your XI)
    then find your channel and you will see the error - if there is any
    BTW
    if you don't want the timestamp just don't use:
    Add Time Stamp property in the file adapter

  • Add time Stamp format in File Adapter

    Is it possible to change Add Time Stamp format ??
    If so please let me know the procedure to chnage it..
    It is scenario with no mapping so i cant go either Dynamic configuration or Variable substitotion.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,
    I think you need to assign it dynamically as you cannot change the format for Add TimeStamp
      See the below links:

  • How do I add time stamp to photo in photoshop?

    How do I add time stamp to photo in photoshop? I have saved photos from a camera phone to the computer. They still have the META data on them (aka the date and time from when the picture was taken). How do I put them on there?

  • I have recently update my Final Cut Pro X to Final Cut Pro X 10.1. I downloaded the update from the app store. Now every time I open Final Cut it crashes almost instantly. What can I do

    I have recently update my Final Cut Pro X to Final Cut Pro X 10.1. I downloaded the update from the app store. Now every time I open Final Cut it crashes almost instantly. What can I do?- I really need help!

    It sounds as though you have a corrupt project - or possibly a file within an event that is causing the application to crash.
    Quit FCP X, then move your projects and events (if you have any) to new folders so that FCP X doesn't find them, then relaunch the application. If it launches OK, there's a very good chance one of your projects or events is causing the problem.
    Quit the app again, then move one event or project at a time back to the original folder and launch FCP X again - keep going until you find the cause.

  • Several times after restarting Final Cut X was very slow and it always kept repeating rendering on same three clips. Later it stops rendering on every restart and the machine was normal and faster. Now it keeps crushing on every restart

    My Final Cut X changed behaviour after conneting the external monitor via HDMI. Several times after restarting Final Cut X was very slow and it always kept repeating rendering on same three clips after every restart. Later the dual screen icon disapeared on the top of my screen and it stops rendering on every restart like before and the machine was normal and faster. Now Final Cut won't start anymore whenever I start it loads and crushes immediately on every restart.

  • Spinning ball all the time? new final cut?

    Hi there,
    After spend 300 dollars in the brand new final cut X, i notice that i also have a free spinning colourfull beachball?! yes in the previous version i never add so many hang ups and so time waiting for some operations, i have, as u can say the best comfiguration tha a imac can have until a year ago, 16 g of ram and a i7 processor, well the best on a imac.
    Now and after a expatation i notice that its far for the desire result and i need help to try to resulve this bugs or not.
    Hope to have any news, from someone and especially an update to fix from Apple

    I'm running it on a 15" MacBook Pro and I get constant beach balls, they seem to get more frequent the longer I have the app open, and ultimately I have to force close and restart my computer because the whole system bogs down.  Very aggravating. I have a Core 2 Duo and only 4 GB RAM, so I understand it would run slow, but after about an hour of editing, sometimes less, it becomes unusable.

  • Can I partition a Firewire 800 drive to work with Time Machine and Final Cut Pro?

    Hey, I was reading that having Final Cut Projects and Events on the same external Hard Drive as a time machine backup doesn't work well together. So I was wondering if I partition a 2 TB External Hard Drive and use 1 partition for Time Machine and the other for Final Cut Pro, would it work like it should? I had thought so because it would recognize it as 2 different drives but I wasn't sure. Thank You for your time!

    aside, if it is supported or not:
    A backup is a crucial element in your set-up - is it wise to 'stress it' as a working drive for video-editing ...... ?
    or, vice versa:
    The moment, Time Machine launches, your working drive drops its performance by half or even more.
    Plus, depending on your settings, the drive is forced to copy tons of data from partition I to partition II ... due to, a partition is no 'real'/physical drive, this stresses a drive extremely .....
    drives are sooo cheap. and drive-space should never be an 'issue' while movie-making ..

  • Add time stamp array into first column of text file

    I am writing daq output to a file by using array to spreadsheet string vi then write that to a file but I would like to add a time stamp array into the first column of the text file. How do I do this?

    When you use a DAQmx Read, you have the option of returning a waveform data type. This includes time data. If you were to use this and either Export Waveforms to Spreadsheet File or Write Measurement File, this would included. To stick with the regular Write to Spreadsheet File, you would have to create an array of timestamps yourself based on a start time and the sample rate of the DAQ. Then you would convert this and the data array to strings and use the string array type of Write to Spreadsheet instead of the DBL type.

  • Time Capsule and Final Cut Studio

    Is there a way to have Time machine and Time Capsule halt operations while Final Cut Studio components are in use? I've had a couple of annoying hangs.

    Unfortunately, you are seeing the results of pushing too much data simultaneously on your network.
    Two options come to mind: 1) Utilize Gigabit Ethernet connections between network clients where possible, and 2) Utilize 802.11n 5 GHz only connections where Ethernet is not an option.
    Besides those, temporarily disable Time Machine backups when processing files with FCP.

  • Real-Time Capture in Final Cut Express

    Hi All -
    I own a music venue, and we're considering adding video recording services (current we just offer audio). To reduce labor, I'm planning on a fixed mounted camera (brand/model TBD) from one of our lighting trusses (on the ceiling). We'd like to stream the video footage into a PowerMac and/or PowerBook in real time (presumably via a long firewire cable), thus avoiding the use of tapes, etc... So two questions:
    1- Can Final Cut Express handle direct capture of video in Real Time? If so, are there any constraints, such as 7200 RPM harddrive, no HD, etc..., that I need to be aware of?
    2- We plan to capture audio separately so that we can mix it in 16-track format in our ProTools HD studio. Will FCE work with a time code (SMTPE, etc...), or are there other prefer methods of keeping the sources in synch?
    Any other thoughts from concert film masters would be appreciated! We're a small venue (150 person capacity) and will be using this mostly for student recitals and local bands - thus we need to be frugal and minimize the number of people needed to run it.
    Thanks!

    1. There are limitations to the length of FireWire cable data can be streamed. You might want to check up on this. FCE captures DV in realtime. You'll need a fast drive either in the computer or an external FW drive at least 7200rpm with 8MB cache.
    2. No.
