Changing Date Time Original Tag from Date Created Tag

Hi,
I need to change programmatically the "Date Time Orignal" tag by copying the "Date Created" Tag so that Media Encoder preserves the date during encoding. I can do this by hand without a problem in Bridget 5.5 but would like to automate it. Can I do this with a script?
Thanks

I have been als been plagued by LR displaying the capture time to be, say 3 AM (03:00), when I know I took the picture at 1 PM (13:00). I decided to try and see why this happens. With the help of Phil Harvey's exiftool, I can see that my Canon cameras embed the time into the EXIF data without any time zone information i.e.: Date/Time Taken = 2008:04:02 16:09:23.
Here is what I found:
If the image is now edited with Bridge, the information is changed to: Date/Time Taken = 2008:04:02 16:09:23-08:00 (time zone of the editing computer for the date the image was made. In this case the date was before daylight savings time started.)
When edited with GeoSetter (good for adding GPS information) the information is changed to: Date/Time Taken = 2008:04:02 16:09:23+02:00 (time zone for Cairo where the picture was taken.)
Lastly edited with LR, the information is changed to: Date/Time Taken = 2008:04:02 16:09:23-08:00
When the above images are viewed in LR, using PDT, they display the time as 17:09:23 except for the image tagged with the Cairo time, which displays 07:09:23. If the computer's time zone is changed the displayed time changes accordingly.
If the images are displayed with Photoshop CS3 all the times are correctly displayed as 16:09:23 as one would expect.
It appears that the factoring in of the time zone into the displayed time was a conscious decision by the Adobe designers. A decision that several of us are not happy with.

  • Date Time Original different in Lightroom and Bridge

    Why is it that the Date Time Original in Lightroom is affected by whatever time zone the PC is set to? This is not the case in Bridge.
    Example:
    I fly from San Francisco to Washington DC and set my notebook's time zone from Pacific Time to Eastern Time upon arrival. I also make the necessary adjustment to the Time on my camera. I shoot a photo at 6pm in Washington DC, upload it to my notebook and import it into Lightroom. Lightroom shows a Date Time Original of 6pm. So does Bridge. So far so good.
    I return back to San Francisco and set my notebook's time zone back to Pacific Time. In Lightroom, the Date Time Original of that photo is now 3pm. In Bridge, it still gives a Date Time Original of 6pm.
    Confusing? Yes, especially when traveling across lots of different time zones. In some cases, the Date Time Original will change not only the time, but the Date as well (if the change crosses midnight).
    Try it for yourself. Take a look at the Date Time Original of any given photo in Lightroom, change the Time Zone on your PC, and see the Time change for yourself.
    Since Bridge and Lightroom are both Adobe products, I have to wonder why they display EXIF times differently. Is this a bug? Or intentional?

  • Date/time original not set in EXIF

    When importing TIF files without metadata in its header (e.g. from a scanner) using a metadata preset that does include the "date/time original" this date is ONLY set in the IPTC data block, not in the EXIF data block. This data item is supposed to be shared between IPTC, EXIF and XMP according to the metadata working group spec.
    Is this an error or a feature of LR?
    The only way I know to enter the "date/time original" into the EXIF block in LR is by editing the "edit/capture time" (via Library/Metadata) and shifting the time by 0 hours. This then copies the IPTC date into the EXIF block. Also works in batch.

    It is the internal backup battery, but replacing it is not simple. Also, new internal batteries are hard to find. You will see a lot of "used" batteries offered--somewhat like buying used chewing gum, IMHO.
    You don't say which of the many PowerBook variants you have, but OWC sells new replacement backup batteries only for the 1.67ghz PBs with 17-inch monitors:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/PRAMPBG417K/
    Instructions for battery replacement are in these service guides:
    http://www.ifixit.com/Device/PowerBook_G4_Aluminum_Series
    NOTE: Apparenlty, 12-inch PowerBooks do not have internal backup batteries. You will see from these instructions that replaceing the batery--assuming you can find one--is not a trivial matter.

  • Blank exif date time original field in some files (scanned images)

    I have had some issues with scanned files or psd files where the date time original field does not exist or is blank. Mostly with scanned files. I would like to edit the field and fix the date; but the EXIF doesn't exist on scanned images or is a shorter data set excluding the date time original field.

    Lightroom won't update or insert missing EXIF date fields into master files. However, if you export a file with a date/time edited in Lightroom, it will have valid EXIF date/time fields.

  • Date Time Original & Date Time Digitized bug

    I have noticed that in Lightroom (1.1 or 1.2, doesn't matter) my photographs display WRONG Date Time Original & Date Time Digitized in the Metadata section. Both are exactly 30 minutes behind the actual time the photos were shot - eg., if I have shot a photo at 7:00pm, it will be shown as though it was shot at 6:30pm. Bridge correctly displays both this info. Any suggestions on how to rectify this info in Lightroom? Thanks,

    If you are shooting RAW, take care with "Edit capture time". There is
    evidence that it causes a rewrite of the RAW file by LR. This
    kind of a rewrite is dangerous, sometimes causing corruption. See
    this thread for a discussion:

  • Is there any danger in setting the system date/time to a prior date?

    We are dealing with some software digital certificate expiration issues.  Until the developer gets them fixed, the only way we can use the software is to set the date/time preferences to a date before the certificate expired.  Some users are concerned that this will spell catastrophe for their systems because Unix/Linux based things don't like haivng their dates messed with.  I maintain that the only things that would be affected are the date/time stamp on files they save while the settings are changed, possibly any iCal events created during the change (which can be overwritten by the user), and that if they use Time Machine the backups might not be dated correctly (and for that reason I've suggested they shut Time Machine off while their date is changed).  I just don't believe it will lead to massive system failure.  Who is correct?

    Yes you will have issus with DHCP leases/Internet and your router if your time and date isn't current.
    Offline you can do what you want. Better to get a temporary workaround from the developer to hold you over.

  • How to populate date & time when user enter data for custom table in sm30

    Can anyone tell me How to populate system date & time when user enter data for custom table in sm30..
      Req is
      i have custom table and using sm30 user can enter data.
    after saving date i want to update date & time in table
    Pls let me know where to write the code?
    Thanks in Advance

    You have to write the code in EVENT 01 in SE54 transaction. Go to SE54, enter your Ztable name and in the menu 'Environment-->Events'. Press 'ENTER' to go past the popup message. In the next screen, click on 'New Entries'. In the first column, enter 01 and in the next column give some name for your routine(say UPDATE_USER_DATE_TIME). Then click on the souce code icon that appears in blue at the end of the row. In the code, you need logic like below.
    FORM update_user_date_time.
      DATA: f_index LIKE sy-tabix.
      DATA: BEGIN OF l_total.
              INCLUDE STRUCTURE zztable.
      INCLUDE  STRUCTURE vimtbflags.
      DATA  END OF l_total.
      DATA: s_record TYPE zztable.
      LOOP AT total INTO l_total.
        IF l_total-vim_action = aendern OR
           l_total-vim_action = neuer_eintrag.
          MOVE-CORRESPONDING l_total TO s_record.
          s_record-zz_user = sy-uname.
          s_record-zz_date = sy-datum.
          s_record-zz_time = sy-uzeit.
          READ TABLE extract WITH KEY l_total.
          IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
            f_index = sy-tabix.
          ELSE.
            CLEAR f_index.
          ENDIF.
          MOVE-CORRESPONDING s_record TO l_total.
          MODIFY total FROM l_total.
          CHECK f_index GT 0.
          MODIFY extract INDEX f_index FROM l_total.
        ENDIF.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDFORM.                    " UPDATE_USER_DATE_TIME
    Here ZZTABLE is the Z table and ZZ_USER, ZZ_DATE, and ZZ_TIME are the fields that are updated.

  • Convert Data type from Oracle Data time string to SQL Date time data type

    I have a time stamp column pulled from oracle into a SQL server db table varchar datatype column.
    Now i want to change that column to date time.
    Following is the data present in the table:
    01-APR-11 02.15.00.026000 AM -08:00
    01-APR-11 04.15.00.399000 AM -08:00

    I want to convert this data into sql server datetime data type.
    Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Sam.
    I am unable to find the solution in other sites which is why I have posted it in Oracle forum for seeking solution.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Sam.

    Sam,
    How are you actually loading the data into SQL*Server - are you using something like an Oracle gateway, BCP or another Microsoft utility of some sort ?
    If you are using an Oracle problem then we may be able to help but if using a Microsoft utility then you should really follow up with Microsoft to know what format the data should be in to use a Microsoft utility.

  • 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,

  • Is there a way to change the time of a saved data to be as the same as the time-axis of the waveform graph?

    Hi,
    I've a problem while saving the waveform to a spreadsheet.
    The problem that I'm facing is that I'm not able to save/change the time-axis of the waveform graph into the excel spreadsheet.
    The attachments below are what I've programmed on.
    1st file that would be asked to save is the results of the waveform.
    2nd file, supposing to be the time-axis
    3rd file, is the multiplication of results of CH 1 and CH 2.
    Would be glad if someone can enlighten me with a solution which is suitable for LabView version 8.2 and Tektronix DPO 72004.
    Thanks. ((((:

  • Retaining date/time when capturing from miniDV camcorder in PRE8

    Has anyone a solution to the following problems observed when capturing
    video/audio from a miniDV camcorder with Premiere Elements 8:
    1) Even if "Split Scenes" is deselected in the capture dialog box - the captured video IS split into separate .avi files
    2) When inspecting the .avi file metadata only the date is captured correctly from DV - time is always 23:00Z...?  I have used other capture tools to verify that correct date/time is actually available in the captured video.
    Thanks!

  • ICal changes the time when importing from SonyEricsson K750i

    Hi from Stockholm,
    When syncing my mobile calendar and my iCal, all the times are set two hours behind.
    Ex. in the phone an event could be 16.00-17.00 and in iCal it changes to 18.00-19.00.
    The clocks are set the same. Timezone is deactivated.
    What to do?
    Thanx. Clack-boy.
    PowerMac G3, 1,25   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    hi
    i guess you are in the wrong time zone with your K750i.
    try these settings:
    iCal: in "system preferences": clock: set time zone to CEST (stockholm, sweden)
    K750i: settings for "time and date": "time zone" set to GMT + 2.00h and setting for "daylight saving" set to "standard time". don't set it to "Daylight saving" cuz it doesn't work properly then with iCal.
    if your time on the K750i is wrong now, correct it in the section "time". but don't change the "time zone" anymore.
    hope you got my meaning. apologizing for my english.
    now, it should work. at least, my iCal and K750i do

  • Actual shipping date vs original/requested shipping date

    Hi Experts
    We are new with SNC and want to not only measure supplier delivery performance on delivery date but also on shipping date - i.e. measure if the supplier shipped the goods on time.
    Do you know how we can get a hold of these two dates (actual vs original shipping date)? Are there any table fields to obtain this info or perhaps an option to load the dates into BW info cube?
    Thank you in advance.
    Best regards,
    Dan Bruun

    Hi Dan,
    You can get actual shipping date  and original shipping date from the table /1OM/ORDR4SDL<your client name>.(if client=800 then table will be /1OM/ORDR4SDL800).
    Go to table /1OM/ORDR7MP3<your client name> enter the PO number in field ORD.NO and copy ORDID use this ORDID in table /1OM/ORDR4SDL<your client name>.
    select the record with ORDID(copied from above table) and field SLDType=CONF then field TSTFRFRT will give you the original shipping date and TSTFRTOT will give you original delivery date.
    select the record with ORDID(copied from above table) and field SLDType=ASNC then field TSTFRFRT will give you the actual shipping date and TSTFRTOT will give you actual  delivery date.
    Regards,

  • Converting Delivery Creation Date/Time into the Local Date/Time

    Hi
    I have two fields like 'Delivery Creation Date' and 'Delivery Creation Time' in ECC system . My user wants the Delivery Creation Date / Delivery Creation Time in Local time of Plants .
    For example :
    Delivery    Plant       DelivCreationDate       DelivCreationTime   DelivCreationDate(Local)   DelivCreationTime(Local)
    312456          1650               11/2/2007                     4:30                          11/2/2007                          3:30
    Here the Plant 1650 is in Mexico . The above delivery is created in Canada in ECC system according to the candain time .
    But user wants to convert the Candain Delivery Creation Date and Time into the Local Date/Time of specific plant .
    So we need to convert the  Candain Delivery Creation Date and Time into Mexico timings .
    How can it is possible this one and user wants to automate this process .
    Please let me know
    Mubeen

    DATA :
    timestamp like TZONREF-TSTAMPS,
    time like sy-uzeit,
    date like sy-datum.
    The following function module is used to convert the
    time and date into GMT timestamp
    CALL FUNCTION 'IB_CONVERT_INTO_TIMESTAMP'
    EXPORTING
    i_datlo = <source_fields>-delivery_date
    i_timlo = <source_fields>-delivery_time
    I_TZONE = CAD'
    IMPORTING
    E_TIMESTAMP = timestamp.
    The following function module is used to convert the
    above obtained timestamp to MEX  timezone date and time.
    CALL FUNCTION 'IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP'
    EXPORTING
    i_timestamp = timestamp
    I_TZONE = MEX
    IMPORTING
    E_DATLO = date
    E_TIMLO = time.
    CAD and MEX are variables i have used...
    the challenge is to find the canadian and mexican time zone....CAD and MEX.
    which you can get by performing a lookup in table T001W and passing country as parameter.
