Exporting time and date metadata onscreen in FCP 7

Hi there
Does anyone happen to know if i can display the time and date stamp onscreen when exporting to DVD in Final Cut Pro 7? I know that you can now capture the time/date metadata through log and transfer; i need to be able to show that onscreen the same way that you might use timecode when exporting to DVD.
Additionally does anyone know of a plugin that might give me the same control over this as we already get over timecode?
And finally, is it possible to print out a log inc: clip name, time and date from FCP7?
Thanks
Chris

ProDateDV from Automatic Duck was a unfortunately mistimed one trick pony that did this ... but only for DV format footage unfortunately, and as such it totally missed the DV bus, as it was only released just about a year ago. It seems to have been pulled from their products page already. Shame. The problem is that every different acquisition format records and stores this data differently, and usually proprietarily, so the details of how and where to find it within the auxiliary data stream is not at all straightforward, nor the means to write a plugin that would work regardless of source media type.

How do I keep the time and date stamp of my photo when exporting from iphoto

Hi,
I notice the time and date stamp changed when I exported the photos from iPhoto 11 to a external HDD.
When I looked at the information about the exported photos on my external HDD the time and date changed to the time and date of when I exported the photos form iPhoto instead of keeping the time and date information of when the photo was taken as it appears in iPhoto.
I thought the time and date stamp is in the meta data of the photo file and can't be changed, am I correct?
Thanks,

Kyzelios,
How can view the meta data from "finder" or do I need a 3rd party app?
"Get info" function only gives me the creation date which is the export date and time.

Convert DV-AVI file from the sony camcorder into MPEG2 with time and date

I want to capture or convert a raw DV-AVI file from the sony camcorder into MPEG2 format...this i want frame by frame conversion and i also want the metadata i.e. time and date to be captured at the same time when the conversion is done....so i want to know that which is the JAVA tool available for that ?
pls.. kindly reply mi on the emaiID: [email protected] my contact no. is:09869256073
with regards,
nilesh hardikar

I read a whole bunch of random responses to similar questions ... here's some
Try opening the file in iMovie
Try changing the filename extension to ".dv"
Here's an interesting one: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6172027
But my personal favorite idea is to just re-export the file from a PC in a better supported codec
(BTW If you don't have access to a PC then you can easily install Bootcamp on your Mac .... you can even download a free prerelease copy of Windows 7 to install on the Bootcamp partition if you're quick)

Time and Date (again) over DV

Hi everyone, thanks for the help with my last problem.
As expected though I have anther one with regards to a similar issue of time and date taken from a video camera.
I would like to record footage on DV, either MDV or Digital 8 and transfer it to computer using FireWire, I would like the footage to playback the time and date overlays from the camera (as seen in view finder / LCD) so i can record them to computer.
Is this possible with DV, i have tried enabling all options concerning this feature on my camera, but i still can't see the time and date through FireWire connection to the computer.
Are there any FCP settings or specific camera settings you guys know of?
Thanks for all your help, regards, Jim.

Jim
You can not capture the time/date onscreen via FireWire.
You have 3 options:
1. Buy/install a capture card with analog AV inputs.
2. Make a DV copy by connecting analog AV out/inputs.
3. Buy/connect a external analog>FireWire converter, for example this one:
http://www.canopus.com/products/ADVC55/index.php
In all cases, you have to use the analog output from the DV player/camera to display the time/date info.
Hope this helps.

How to get system time and date with PHP

Dear Mr.Craig,
Thanx a lot. We are running SRM 5.0 (RAMP - Implementation).

BUG: Export DDL and Data fails for mixed case table/column names

Hi there,
I have found a bug in SQL Developer. See details below.
Description:
When "Export DDL and Data) function is used on a table/columns not named in UPPERCASE, sql generated by SQL Developer is invalid.
Steps to reproduce:
- open SQL Developer, connect to DB
- make a table named "lowerCase" (in double quotes, so it won't be automatically changed to capital letters)
- you may also add some columns, for example "lowerCol1", "UpCol2", ALLUPCOL3
- add some data rows to the table
- choose Tools -> Export DDL and Data
- check exporting of tables and data, on "filter" tabs choose your "lowerCase" table
- press "Apply"
Error:
Generated SQL contains invalid INSERTs: mixed-case table and columns are referenced without obligatory double quotes, which yields an error when generated script is executed (see below, relevant line is underlined)
-- DDL for Table lowerCase
CREATE TABLE "DBO_HT"."lowerCase"
(     "lowerCol1" VARCHAR2(100),
     "UpCol2" VARCHAR2(100),
     "ALLUPCOL3" VARCHAR2(100)
-- DATA FOR TABLE lowerCase
-- FILTER = none used
-- INSERTING into lowerCase
Insert into lowerCase (lowerCol1,UpCol2,ALLUPCOL3) values ('lc','uc','auc');
-- END DATA FOR TABLE lowerCase
Remarks
SQL Developer: version 1.2.1, build MAIN-32.13
Oracle DBs: 9.2 & Express
OS: Windows 2000 Professional
If you need any more details/testing, let me know. I'd really appreciate a quick patch for this issue...
Alternatively, do you know of any other simple way of copying a single database (it's called a schema in Oracle, right?) from one computer to another? Possibly something so simple like detaching->copying->reattaching mdf (data) files in SQL Server... I thought that this "Export DDL&Data" function will do, but as you can see I couldn't use it.
I just need a simple solution that works - one operation on source to stuff, get the resulting files to other computer and one operation to have it running there... I think that such scenario is very basic, yet I just can't achieve it and I am simply not allowed to spend more time on it (read: our test project fails, my company rejects my "lobbying" and stays with MSSQL :/ )
Thanks a lot & bye

Thanks for your reply.
ad. 1)
You're right. I just wanted to give some very short feedback on my experiences with SQL Developer, so I didn't think starting new threads would be necessary, but as I was writing it became much bigger than I initially planned - sorry about that. I will make proper threads as soon as possible. Having "Edit post" button on this forum would also be useful.

Generally, you're right - in most cases it's true that "switching DBMS is a major commitment" and "you will produce terrible code" if you don't learn the new one.
However, I think that you miss one part of market here - the market that I think Express is also targeted on. I'd call it a "fire&forget databases" market; MySQL comes to mind as possibly most common solution here. It's the rather small systems, possibly web-accessed, whose data-throughput requirements are rather modest; the point is to store data at all, and not necesarily in fastest way, because given the amount of data that is used, even on low-end hardware it will work well enough. What's important here is its general ease of use - how easy is to set up such system, connect and access data, develop a software using it, how much maintenance is needed, how easy this maintenance is, how easy are the most common development tasks as creating a DB, moving a DB from test to production server etc. There, "how easy" directly translates to "how much time we need to set it up", which translates to "how much will the development will cost".
Considering the current technology, switching the DBMS in such systems is not necesarily a major commitment and believe me that you will not produce terrible code. In many cases it's as simple as changing a switch in your ORM toolkit: hibernate.dialect = Hibernate.Dialect.OracleDialect vs MySQLDialect vs MsSql2005Dialect
Therefore, in some part of market it's easy to switch DBMS, even on project-by-project basis. The reason to switch will appear when other DBMS makes life easier => development faster. From that point of view, I can understand my colleagues giving me an embarassing look and saying "come on, I won't read all these docs just to have db copied to test server". And it doesn't mean "they are not willing to learn anything new", it's just that they feel such basic task should have self-explaining solution that doesn't require mastering any special knowledge. And if they get such simple solutions somewhere else, it costs them nothing to change the hibernate dialect.
I think Oracle did the great job with introducing the Express to this "fire&forget" market. The installation is a snap, it just works out of the box, nothing serious to configure, opposite to what I remember from installing and working on Oracle 9 a few years ago. In some places it's still "you need to start SQL*Plus and enter this script", but it's definitely less than before. I also find the SQL Developer a great tool, it can do most of what we need to do with the DB, it's also much better and pleasant to use over Oracle 9 tools. Still, a few basic things still require too much hassle, and I'd say taking your schema to another machine is one of them. So I think that, if you do it well, the "schema copy wizard" you mentioned might be very helpful. If I was to give any general advice for Express line of DB/tools, I'd say "make things simple" - make it "a DB you can't see".
That's, IMHO, the way to attract more Express users.

Can I change incorrect time and date with

Hello,
I used my digital camera in a different time zone and forgot to set it accordingly. Now a bunch of photos have the incorrect time and date. Can I use Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2) to change this? I only found instructions on the Internet for Elements, which I do not have.
Windows Live Photogallery was only mildly successful. In the Windows 7 Explorer the date is shown correctly, but when I go to open the file in Adobe Photoshop, the old, incorrect date is shown. That's why I hoped that I could change this for good with Photoshop.
Thanks in advance!
Aiiyana

There are several dates in the metadata. THe date shot is set by the camera and I know that you can not change that in Bridge. There are programs out there on the web that will do it.

Looking at FOCUS POINTS changes Time and Date

When I select VIEW FOCUS POINTS it changes the Time and Date information in the Metadata. I have seen it happen twice now. The images were taken with a Nikon D90 while in Australia. The first time that I noticed this I was in Hawaii and just looking at the FOCUS POINTS changed the Date and Time to Hawaii time. It happened again in Maryland and the time zone was changed to Eastern Daylight Time. To put the images back in the proper place I have had to change the DATE and TIME.
Has anyone seen this?
Roger

Thanks Tony,
Did you try this:
Shoot a photo with your camera set to your local time.
Import into your Mac set to the same local time.
Quit Aperture
Restart
Set the time on your Mac to another time zone.
Open Aperture.
Open the photo.
View the Focus Points
Then see if the time metadata is changed.
Mine changes and the place of the photo in the line-up of my folder changes.
It still does it after I updated to Aperture 3.0.3 from the 3.0
I know this is a lot of steps in the test process, but this is how it happens for me.
If this doesn't work I'll have to look into a new Nikon for you and a flight to Hawaii.
Cheers,
Roger

Why the time and date is not correct when I save a waveform in txt format, using Labview 6.1?

I am using Labview 6.1 and my operation system is Windows 98. The date/time properties is configured in the Windows (time and date in the control panel is correct). I generated a waveform using Basic Function Generator.vi and saved this using the Export Waveforms to Spreadsheet File.vi. When I opened this file the date and time was wrong. Only the delta t was correct and it did not show the date neither the time, only a float number. How can I adjust the correct time?

Actually, the date/time is correct, it is expressed as seconds since January 01, 1904.
In order to print the string version of the date/time from your file, you will need to write a utility that converts the date/time to a string or series of strings in whatever format you wish. This can be done by reading the first line (I assume that is the line with the time on it), formatting the date/time into a string, and writing over this information in the file.
The waveform VIs were meant to be used internally to read and write waveform data. Any use beyond that should require you to add formatting and other information/data as necessary.

Overlay real time and date for video playback

I have made a mock CCTV film with Final Cut as an art piece and I want to play it with the current real time and date overlaid. Is there an application that does that?

there are several TIMECODE reader/titles avail ...

funny thing is: none of these plugins avail yet are able to display the sources 'real' TC, but only the projects TC (which, in my humble opinion, is pretty nonsense) … but. some plugins allow at last a manual off-set of the starting TC.

RE:Reg time and date

Hi,
         Create report and send daily at 8:45am as the rest of the reports.
Yesterday 7am to Today 7am, i have created the report but how to handle the time and date in the program

hi,
Chk this sample 1.
There are two ways for you to handle,
one manually setting up the job through SM36 which is better and convinient,
secondly through program using FM's JOB_OPEN, SUBMIT, JOB_CLOSE.
Find below steps in doing both:
Procedure 1:
1. Goto Trans -> SM36
2. Define a job with the program and variant if any
3. Click on start condition in application tool bar
4. In the pop-up window, click on Date/Time
5. Below you can see a check box "Periodic Job"
6. Next click on Period Values
7. Select "Other Period"
8. Now give '15' for Minutes
9. Save the job
In SM37 u can check the status of the jobs that u have assigned to background...
Here u mention the job name or the report name to check the status of the job...
After mentioning the job name or program name u just execute it.. ( without any name also u can execute then it gives u all the jobs set by your user name..
the status colud be released,active,finished etc..
Procedure 2 via Program:
Below is a sample code for the same. Note the ZTEMP2 is the program i am scheduling with 15mins frequency.
DATA: P_JOBCNT LIKE TBTCJOB-JOBCOUNT,
      L_RELEASE(1) TYPE c.
   CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'

RE: Time and Date Changed by itself

The date and time will change to the wrong one automatically especially after the batt died. This repeated itself regardless on how many times i readjust the time and date to the right one. Someone please help me.

I had the same problem today. I also have the iPod 4g, no problems up until today. First make sure you calender is set to "Gregorian, you can do this by going to Settings --> General --> International, and you will see the calender options, mark Gregorian. Still didn't work? Try this: I experimented a little, and what i did was: First, I went to Settings --> General --> Date and Time --> Set Date & Time (before doing this make sure you're in the correct time zone) and here you can change the time and date. But, if it changes automatically, go to the date, and you may have the same problem here, but here's what i did. I couldn't change the month, or day, but i could change the year. Change the year to 2011, and then all the other options should come up. Hope this helped!

How to get System Time and Date?

Hi, may i know how do i get the System's current Time and Date?? And i need to format them into 2 separate String, that's Time is a String, Date is another String. Pls guide me. Thanks a lot!

What's the problem? The previous example was pretty clear. Just adapt it to your purposes...
        Date currentDateAndTime = new Date();
        SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
        SimpleDateFormat timeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
        System.out.println(dateFormat.format(currentDateAndTime));
        System.out.println(timeFormat.format(currentDateAndTime));
