Automatically spacing clips based on the date/time when they were shot?

Hi all
I've just shot a concert where I used a static camcorder recording a wide shot of the band, and also the master mixed audio. I was then filming close-up shots on a DSLR, stopping and starting it as and when I needed the additional shots. The problem is I now have 100 or so shot (<3 minute) clips and no easy way of syncing them all to the master sound track from the camcorder.
Is there any way of dropping all the DSLR clips into the timeline, and have them automatically spaced based on the shot time? As in, clip X started at 1545, and lasted for 3 minutes, clip Y started at 1550 so it will put an automatic 2 minute gap in between shots X and Y?
Or will I just have to sync all the clips manually by comparing the master audio and matching it up with the peaks on the audio recorded on the DSLR clips?
Many thanks for any advice
David

Hi Tom,
That's most encouraging to hear! I will look into that function in the coming days when I get down to start the editing for this project.
Many thanks
David

How to cell register the date/time when you put a value in another cell

Hello guys!
How do I get a cell (eg A2) tell the date and time when I put a value in another cell (eg A1) in Numbers?
For example, I want to register a cell to read my electricity meter.
I write in cell A1: 45809. When placing this value in A1, I want to appear (on A2) the date and time when I did that record automatically. Is it possible?
I hope you understood the question!
Thank you in advance to those who try to help.

There is not automatic time stamping of on entry of a time. One suggestion I've seen has a cell that has the current date and time. Everytime you cahnge any cell that cell will update. You can then copy that cell and paste the value into your date/time cell adjacent to the meter reading:
Create a new, plain table:
Now in cell A1 enter the formula "=now()" short hand for this is:
A1=now()
now resize the table so it is a table that is 1 cell by 1 cell by selecting any cell, then dragging the table size control in the bottom right corrner towards cell A1:
It should look like this when you have completed this task:
Now create another new, plain table and enter "Date" for cell A1, and "Meter Reading" for B1:
Now you can enter a meter reading (I entered "45671"). Now select the CELL that has current date and time from the first table at the very top, and copy:
Now select the cell in the date column where you want to put the current date and paste values by using the menu item "Edit > Paste Value":

How do I keep the date/time when exporting photos?

When exporting photos from Photos.app on my Mac, it doesn't use the metadata that it displays in Photos--it uses the current date/time. So when I export a photo from 2010, it says it's dated 2015 when I import it into Aperture.
Is there a way to export an image with its original timestamp? Is this a bug? Thanks.

If you are editing tif files, then you have only a couple of choices.
Flatten the image before you save it. This will reduce it down to one layer. That's the smallest you can get.
When you first open the image, look to see if it's 8 bit or 16 bit tif. It won't help you, but if the image is 8 bit, and you save it as 16 bit, you will have dramatically increased the size of the file for nothing. If it's started as 16, no worries!
check if you are saving with compression. Tif compression is lossless, so unless you did something like resize+resample, it remains the same bit density, etc, so should be just as printable as what they sent you (unless you messed up!).
Cheers!

Is it possible to know the date & time, when a form has been last accessed?

Hi
I am using forms 6i. Is it possible to know when a form has been last accessed by any user?
Regards

Only if you implement such a feature. (Maybe writing to a table in the PRE-FORM-trigger in an autonomous transaction)

Some of my appointments dissappear from the date on which they were scheduled and revert to the day on which I made the entry - this happens to only some entries not all

I am currently finding it almost impossible to use ical. sometimes when I make diary entries the entry appears as I have entered it in ical but the next day a selection of entries are no longer in their correct position but are listed as all day events for the day on the entry was made. This is a problem that has only emerged in the last couple of weeks but I am not aware of having changed any settings during that time. I would be very grateful for any advice.

Hi!
Well, there isn't any family member who could do that, because they don't have any access to my iCloud, so the second one is not an option for sure!
Also, I am positive that photos don't stay in the stream only for 30 days, because I've had those photos from mid-end September in my iPhone, why did they just disappear?They should've disappeared long ago!Also, in my previous device I had photos stored in my stream for up to 8-9 months and they never disappeared, so this one doesn't seem to be the answer!
Thank you though for your time, I really appreciate it!

How do you change network settings at the command line when they were set in the

Ubuntu server setup in a remote location awhile ago, with GUI packages. Currently at
version 14.04 LTS. There is ssh access to the remote server.
After a lot of digging thru typical command line configs and not finding the existing
settings anywhere, it appears the only way to update existing settings -- DNS
name servers, IP's, etc. -- is using a GUI method, such as gsettings or unity-control-center.
However,
gsettings doesn't appear to have those particular items.
Is
the only option to use a remote version of Unity .... or just get someone
on-site and remedy this thru the GUI?

Hi and thanks for your reply,
I used one mini DV Tape for my footage and captured the whole thing into CS6 in one go and so the capture should have been the same throught all of the film. Once I had edited the tape on to the timeline some of the clips are 16.9 widescreen and others are 4.3 standard.

"Show logging" displays the switch UP time not the Date & time

Hi,
i have cisco 2950 switch, when i type the show logging, what ever event has happend i am getting like this "26w6d: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/24, changed state to down" but it is not showing the date & time when the event has occured, so every time i need to check the show version & have to see the switch up time & then i need to calculate. is there any configuration has to be done where i should get the information of the date & time in place of switch up time eg. like this...
"Sep4 4:15: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/24, changed state to down"

what you could do is to enable timestamping if not already done so.
2950(config)# service timestamp debug datetime msec
2950(config)# service timestamp log datetime msec
or you can use SNMP to provide traps of the 'events' that occur on the device.
these SNMP traps will provide the date, time and trap.
what version IOS on that device? have you enabled timestamping? have you upgrade lately? perhaps an upgrade could be of assistance. i'll verify the operation on some 2950s i have to confirm if i have the same issue or not and what version is being used. i'll post the result when available.

Have tried the date time it's good not sure what else to look at and apple care is useless

keep getting error 1202 tried the date time thing they are fine, apple is of no help. I cant purchase song, can't look at wish list or account information and not sure what eles. any ideas about where I need to look at. I don't have the speedbit vidoe so that aint' it.

I cannot see the damage. But the screening centre has pics showing it is damaged. Apple refuses to cover a physical damage. But the reason the device is damaged could only be coz it had a poor battery life from start. The iPhone 5 is infamous for the same. We all know it. Apple conveniently denies responsibility.
And the Insurance company says it covers only accidental damage. Now how am I to prove an 'accidental' damage ? Unless I lie to them....

Coldfusion form validation: Changing the "Subject" of an email based on server date/time

Hi,
I've provided a basic coldfusion email template for you to
edit if necessary.
In my validation I'd like to check the date / time on the
server.
If the date entered into the form is within 24 hours of the
server date / time then insert "Urgent" into the subject of the
email.
Along with that I'd like to add a "read reciept to my email"
if thats possible.
Any ideas?

Any progress?

Can I arrange clips in the timeline based on when they were recorded?

Hello everyone, thanks to whoever took the time to give some attention to this post and excuse me for my bad english..
This is the thing:
I have hundreds of clips from three different cameras that were covering a very long event and a single audio file (2 hour long) and I want to sync them together. I'm looking for a way to somehow arrange the clips in the timeline chronologically, based on their metadata of when the clips were recorded...
Note that I thought of this purely on instinct and I don't even know if it's possible, but it sound like such a good idea that I'm hoping Adobe thought of it already and since it would be very useful for my daily workflow, I've decided to do some research.
I have looked EVERYWERE, spent countless hours reading forums (even this one) but with no success and this is my last attempt...
I just hope you can understand what I'm looking for and that someone can help me!
Thanks again for your time!
Regards!

Thank you very much for your reply, shooternz!
Actually, since I have been researching this for some time, I already got to the point of sorting the clips in the project bin as far as to eneble the metadata column with the "date created", which even has the precise hh:mm:ss of when the clip was created.
My struggle is to organize the clips in a new sequence using maybe the time of the first clip as refference so that all the other clips are arranged chronologically, by the time that they were created.
I appeciate the tip, in fact I have been thinking of a way to plan the shooting better, but since I cover mainly long events, I have to constantly pause the camera, thus creating several clips...
Thank you once more!
Regards!

How to display the Date Time using the System Time zone

Friends,
Can anyone help me with below scenario..
I have to display Date Time on a jsff page, This value associated to one of Transient View object populated from the database.. Is there any way I can handle on the screen to display the same date /time bassed on the system time zone ?
I know one way how we can handle it.. while populating to View object we can set the time based on the system time zone.. but it would be easy and simple if there is any approach I can use on UI layer itself..
thanks

I don't understand why this display doesn't pay attention to the date/time format settings that are set in the language and text prefs.
Those settings are used for date OR time, and provide for different displays depending on the space available. The menu bar does not have a fixed space available, and wants both date and time.
In Leopard, it used the medium time format. To get the date and time, you could modify that format to include the date, but that could cause problems with software that happened to use the medium time format and expectede just the time. Also, you might want to change the medium time format without changing the menu bar display. For these reasons, Snow Leopard's menu bar clock uses its own formatting for data and time display.

Is there a solution to the data/time camera metadata problem?

After a lot of testing I've nailed down a serious flaw with Lightroom, and I'm wondering if people have any sort of solution, either from within Lightroom or externally.
When Lightroom is used to export JPEGs, the exported files have the correct Image EXIF data stamped in the Date/Time Original and Date/Time Digitized fields - it matches the date/time of the RAW file, which is exactly what you'd want and expect.
What it doesn't set correctly though is the JPEG file Created, and file Modified dates - they are set as the date/time the JPEG export was done from Lightroom. There are many applications that sort based on the last modified date of the JPEG, and it's illogical that Lightroom wouldn't have the JPEG file metadata match up with the EXIF data. I can't think of a single scenario where you'd want to have two different time/data stamps in the image that you just exported.
Using ACDSee I can batch change the JPEG file Created and file Modified dates to match the EXIF data. It's an added step I shouldn't have to do, but I can do it. What I *can't* change in batch mode with ACDSee is the Camera Date/Time time - which, you guessed it, is stamped with the time that the JPEG was *created* during the export, not the time that the camera was set for when the RAW file was captured, which is what it SHOULD be set to. It should be stamped with the EXIF date/time original data. I think I already know the answer to this, but is there any setting in Lightroom that addresses this issue?
I've seen others recommend EXIFtool but using a command line tool isn't what I consider a reasonable suggestion. Are there any other tools that might help me here?

Jason -
<br />
<br />You mentioned that the CreateDate wasn't set correctly in your files. For my JPGs exported from LR, based on Canon CRW raws, the CreateDate does match the DateTimeOriginal. ExifTool is reasonable enough for me; here is a sample output of ALL the date/time related fields in one of my exported JPGs.

<br />As discussed by other posters, I agree that the ModifyDate needs to reflect the most recent activity on this particular file, and is not related to the original capture time.
