Adjust Date/Time of Imported Video

I had to convert a couple of .MTS files to .MOV to bring them into Final Cut Pro X. I made this videos before I realized I needed to archive the file structure. I haven't been able to find the area in Final Cut that lets me adjust the date and time of a clip. All of my metadata is wrong because it is using the .MOV file creation date.
Thanks!

One way is to trim the left edge of the timeline track with the mouse (grab the left edge of the blue rectangle under the canvas and drag it right.)
Another is to position the playhead at the frame you want to start the clip playing and type the 'i' key (mark an "IN" point).
You can slide the trimmed video play range in time by dragging the blue rectangle under the canvas.

WARNING: Adjust Date & Time doesn't work

I bought Aperture 2.0 because I was thrilled they finally have an adjust date/time feature. The interface is great, but it simply doesn't work.
I was trying to adjust a batch of images by 30 seconds to get it in sync with another camera, however, it ended up adjusting it by 30 minutes!
I was trying to get the time to change from:
1:33:09 PM to
1:32:39 PM
and the image ended up at
1:00:33 PM
Anyone else had a similar problem or a solution for this serious bug?

I added my own topic earlier this morning. In my case, it's working just fine if my primary image is RAW and all selected images are also RAW (Canon 300D). It also works just fine if the primary and all selected images are JPEG (from either a Canon S3 or a Panasonic Lumix digicam). However, if the primary image is RAW (Canon 300D) and any selected images are JPEG (anything modified in iPhoto, or originally shot in JPEG from by Canon 300D), all **** breaks loose on those JPEG image dates.
I have some which went back a few months, but most of them jumped forward between 6 months and 2 years.
Again, something is severely broken with this function.
Anyone know how to get the original dates back? Please? I'm setting aside several hours tonight to restore the pre-2.0 backup, export my 2.0-only projects, and import those back in, just forgetting any changes I'd made to historical project files in the meantime. This really *****.

Date/Time in iPhoto Videos is WRONG

I just noticed that all the video clips generated by the automatic thumbnail have the Date/Time wrong, also they are all mixed up.
I have hundreds of clips and all of them display a Date from December 31/1904 (or 1903)
HOW CAN THIS BE FIXED?
I know I can select Adjust Date/Time manually but is there a way of doing it automatically?
Thanks

There is an application called "A Better Finder Attributes" that can set dates on files and do them in batches.

Adjusting Date/Time Corrupts Masters

I have an issue with Aperture 3.1.1. I would appreciate any comments or thoughts.
I have scanned some slides, and imported them into Aperture. During the import I renamed them (masters also) to include the file date (20110111_001 etc.) I stored the masters in a folder on the hard drive of my MacBook Pro.
At this point everything is fine, however, the file date is incorrect. I use Adjust Date/Time to set the date to 19750901_etc. After this step the master becomes a solid black image. No detail of any kind. Preview will not display it, and neither will Aperture. The original image is not recoverable. The versions are generally OK, but some take on the solid black image.
Obviously this is worrying, so I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this, or if I’m just doing something wrong.
Thanks
Garry

Sliek,
*I found a solution!*
There are many date tags in the JPEG standard. It appears that your scanner software makes a "Create Date" tag, but no "Date Time Original" tag. (See my footnote about this.) However, When operating on a regular JPG, Aperture's "Adjust Date and Time" in master function updates both of those tags if they are there.
When applying that function to your 15M scan, Aperture truncates some of the EXIF data and the master looses a little tiny bit of its file size. It consequently cannot be read as a valid picture.
Here's the solution, and it's pretty easy as long as you're not afraid of the command prompt. I used EXIFTool to create the "Date Time Original" tag using the date from the "Create Date" tag. Obviously the new file was marginally larger, but it also survived the "Adjust Date and Time" function! Here's the command I used:
exiftool '-CreateDate>DateTimeOriginal' Scan-110106-0002.jpg
So, you've uncovered one of two problems here:
1. Your scanner program writes a flawed header on the JPG; or
2. Aperture pukes when it cannot update "Date Time Original" if it can update "Create Date".
I have not played with existing "good" files from a camera to determine what happens when I remove "Date Time Original" and put that picture through the Date adjustment torture. That would validate or invalidate choice 1.
Let me know if this solution sounds viable and you would like more help. EXIFTool is easily scriptable, and you can run it on all files in a directory to perform the same function in one fell swoop.

Footnote:
DateTimeOriginal: date/time when original image was taken
CreateDate: Date the image was digitized and made into a JPG.
So, in theory, DateTimeOriginal is what you are trying to modify, while CreateDate should be when you put your print through the scanner. It makes sense that the scanner doesn't fill in CreateDate, as that usually isn't part of the functionality of scanner software.

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,
Hunt

Adjust date/time for multiple images

Wonder if anyone else is having this problem (some posts seem similar but not exactly the same)
1. Clean library (mix of DNG, JPEG and TIFF files)
2. Need to change dates to match other images in the project
3. Selected multiple images and used Metadata -> Adjust Date/Time
4. "Lead" image (bright white box) date and time adjusted accordingly but other images in the selection date have their capture date and time generated apparently randomly (I'm trying to set 08/01/2008 but I'm getting anything from 27/03/1982 to 24/12/2010!)
5. The dates do appear random - repeating the process will lead to different dates in the IPTC field
6. I've clean installed everything - drive format, OSX10.6.2, Aperture 3 - and rebuilt the library. The problem remains unchanged!
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Adrian

I'd actually looked at this before attempting the metadata adjustment but checked it again just now to ensure I wasn't missing anything.
I guess if it's a shift based on the relative differences in the date of the imaes selected then that could explain the apparent random variations I'm getting. Although this would certainly be useful for the time stamp, when I'm trying to ensure all images in a project have the same date, relative changes certainly aren't!
I'd have to run it again tonight to confirm by comparing before/after adjustment dates. If that's what going on I think I'll have to get Adobe Bridge to do the heavy lifting for me..... just a shame I have to drag in another app rather than doing everything inside Aperture.

Aperture 3.1.2 on 10.6.7 mangles TIFF masters after adjust date/time

Bumping the following thread that's now a year old:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11799201
Adjusting date/time in Aperture 3.1.2, ticking the "also change master file" option now causes Aperture to display a "unsupported image format" box, also indicating that the pixel size is 900x600.
I'm at a loss, any ideas?

Matt,
Welcome to the user-supported Aperture discussion group.
Does this happens with all TIFFs? Do your TIFFs happen to be from a scanner? If so you may be interested in [this topic|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12924902&#12924902].

How to View Date time stamp on Video

I am importing AVHD video into i move 8 and want to have date and time stamp on the video
any ideas on how to set this up?
I am importing video from a card reader.
josh

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

Date stamp on imported video

Is there a way to stamp date on DV video imported from DV tape based video camcorders?
Likewise, can the same thing be done on videos imported from Canon still camera?
I would like the date and time to display for a few seconds each time the frame changes...
thanks!

Hi
There is a "paper and clip" way to do this but You lose some quality.
You need a miniDV Camera with analog out AND in and a VCR.
Copy Your material to a VHS tape with date/time stamp visible.
Copy back to a new miniDV tape and Camera
Use parts of this when the date/time code should be visible.

Does Adjust Date & Time Modify EXIF data?

If I use the adjust date and time does it modify the exif data in the original photo, so if I export the photos elsewhere it will preserve these edits? I was using Picasa and fixed the date and time on a few photos only to find them back to 1/1/2002 when I imported my photos to iPhoto

I just saw this checkbox today and hoped it meant that. I've really wanted this feature for a long time now.

Did this ever get resolved, I am in a similar situation with Premiere CS5.5 and need a

Is there a plugin available ?

BUG: LR 2.1 adjusts date/time back 1 hour

I'm really really annoyed. When I import images into LR 2.1, it changes the date/time of the image back by 1 hour - I assume its changing to standard time from daylight savings time. Why is this done? There doesn't seem to be a configuration option for this.

"CR Henderson - 4:40pm Nov 23, 08 PST (#35 of 35)
A work around that I have used since LR 1.0:
1. Set camera time to GMT and leave it there.
2. Take pictures and download them to PC hard drive.
3. Convert to .DNG using DNG Converter
4. Run ExifTool GUI on files and use XMP: DateTime copy from EXIF
5. Import into LR
#4 sets the XMP time to the EXIF time and removes the time zone offset, i.e. the XMP time is set to be the EXIF time with zero offset and since that is what I have my cameras set to things work out well. With the XMP time already set LR doesn't mess with it (or at least versions 1x-2.1 haven't).
It is possible the above will work for other RAW files supported by ExifTool GUI. I know it does with the Canon CR2 files I use (30D, 40D)."
Personally, having paid for the software, (it isn't freeware) I would like a FIX rather than a workaround. A little response from Adobe as to when it will be fixed would be appreciated, if it is not too much trouble?
The last Date / Time issue required purchase of a new version, I hope this will not be a trend in LR. As others have pointed out just writing and reading the EXIF time is not rocket science. It is just a matter of trying to get the LR programmers to leave it alone (since the beta!) and not keep messing around with it. There has never been any explanation of what they were attempting to accomplish by modifying EXIF Date / Time?

IPhoto gets the wrong date/time when importing photos

I just imported a bunch of photos from a Canon Digital Rebel XT. I took the photos today, 10/22/05, but iPhoto has them labelled with yesterday's date. Furthermore, the times are incorrect, with AM and PM apparently switched.
Looking back now, it seems that there's the same problem with all of the photos I've imported with this camera (which I got last month). I don't know if iPhoto has been screwing these things up the whole time, or if this is something that just happened.
I've just triple checked the date/time setting on the camera and confirmed that it is correct. I've confirmed that my computer's date & time are correct also. The other data imported with each photo appears to be correct (e.g. camera make & modal, focal length, ISO speed, etc.).
Anyone have any idea what's going on and how I can fix it?

Jason,
Which date are you referring to? The EXIF date that is in the Get info window, or the date that is listed in the left info window. If it is the date that is in the info window on the left it is easy enough to fix. Just highlight and put in the correct date. If you need to do this to a lot of images then use the batch change function.
If the EXIF data is wrong, I recommend using the software from canon to get the best EXIF data added to your pics. I realize this adds an additional step, but it will fix your problem. The other thing is that if you start to shoot in RAW, your camera is not supported by iPhoto. So if you attempt to import RAW files from the XT directly into iPhoto it will not import them. I have this camera and it is one of the reasons I have stopped using iPhoto for most things.
You can get the latest versions of the canon software from Canon.com I recommend using these as they are much better than what was in the box that came with my XT. If you plan on working with RAW get the Digital Photo Professional (DDP) Along with the Canons image browser. Both work well on my powerbook and should be great on a Powermac.
Hope this helps.
Matt

Adjusting Date/Time

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
Let me start by saying I am totally frustrated!!! I am trying to adjust the dates/times from a 10 day vacation. I have created an album for each day of the trip and would like the correct date for each album to be reflected in the info window. Having said that, I got pictures from other people on the trip and of course they never set their cameras to the correct date/time. So when I used the feature to "Adjust Date and Time", I now have photos that still have the incorrect date. Some of them aren't even in the same year. I am assuming this is happening since the date set on their camera was probably 5 or more years before the current year.
One thing that is odd is the fact that when I do a sort of my entire library, they are sorted entirely correctly. So that is good, I guess I am just a little anal and when I look at the info window, I want to see the date the picture was taken.
So my question is, is there a way to get a group of photos to reflect the date I want? At this point I really don't care about the time but wouldn't mind if that worked as well. I just don't want the photos to say they are from 2010 or later, when they aren't.
Thanks

Try selecting the event or album and using batch change from the "photos" menu.
There you can select time, date, or description.
This would set all the photos to the same date and time.
Also modify original.
I believe that is what you're looking for.
good luck
BTW if you didn't know the "adjust time and date" shifts selected photo date, time the amount selected.
Handy if you camera was off and hour or whatever.
