How do i show time/date stamp at start of each clip

This may be a camera issue, not imovie, not sure. My (sony dcr-hc21) camera records but doesn't show time/date at start of each clip (my old non-digital camcorder used to show them for a few seconds). is there a way to get imovie to show these time stamps? I'm using imovie 3.0.3.

Hi r
There are no stright forward - cost free way to get this to my knowledg.
- I think You can buy a plug-in for this. (Not sure)
- A quality redusing way is to copy from camera via analog cable to a
VHS-VCR then reimport to a fresh miniDV tape and using this. If You
just want some sec. with date and time You can cut between old and
new material but the quality change will be more noticable this way.
- Some people has two miniDV cameras and do an analog connection
via them. Smart.

  • How do I add time/date stamp to my screen capture file names?

    I'm on mac osx.
    I'm trying to add time/date stamp to my screen capture file names. (at the moment it's just 'Picture 1' etc..)
    I've tried the following command  in terminal but have not had success. please help!!
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture name "datestamp" at "timestamp"
    killall SystemUIServer

    Surely someone else will provide a better solution. Meanwhile, however, you might want to try the following script. Copy and paste the script into the AppleScript Editor's window and save it as an application. Then drop your screen capture files on the droplet's Finder icon.
    on open theDroppedFiles
        tell application "Finder"
            repeat with thisFile in theDroppedFiles
                set theFileName to name of thisFile
                if (word 1 of theFileName is "Picture") and ¬
                    (word 2 of theFileName = word -2 of theFileName) then
                    set theExtension to name extension of thisFile
                    set P to offset of theExtension in theFileName
                    set theCreationDate to creation date of thisFile
                    set dateStamp to short date string of theCreationDate
                    set timeStamp to time string of theCreationDate
                    set name of thisFile to "Screen Shot " & dateStamp ¬
                        & " at " & timeStamp & "." & theExtension
                end if
            end repeat
        end tell
    end open

  • How can i put a time/date stamp in Apple contacts, "Note"

    how can i automatically put a time/date stamp in Apple contacts, "Note"
    ei , when i enter a new note to a contact. I want the time and date to automatically show at each note.

    This is not a feature in Contacts. I suggest you send Apple feedback to let them know you would like to see this option.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    You can easily add the date stamp using an app like TextExpander.

  • How do I time / date stamp photos from library

    How can I print photos from library with a time / date stamp to use for legal purposes? Please help

    All photos captured with the iPhone are date and time stamped, but not shown on the photo. Plus those metadata can be changed easily with modern photo editing software so it is not always admissible in court.
    To post those to the pictures, you need a 3rd party app for that. Try the free Exifwizard app.

  • DV Time/Date Stamp Show in Video Playback PE8

    I need to be able to display the Date/Time code information in my videos.
    I've found these two programs that claim to do that...
    DVdate
    http://paul.glagla.free.fr/dvdate_en.htm
    DV Date
    http://dvdate.ru/en/dvrecdate.html
    ...but I was hoping that PE8 would have that capability built in. Does it?
    If not, what are my best options?

    DC
    The regular DV Date program never claimed to supply the DV Time/Date Stamp. It was the DV Date plug-in for Premiere and Premiere Elements that will do the job for Premiere Elements 7.0, but NOT for Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
    The two different programs are:
    "DVdate
    http://paul.glagla.free.fr/dvdate_en.htm"
    Never.
    "DV Date
    http://dvdate.ru/en/dvrecdate.html"
    For Premiere Elements 7.0, but has serious problems with Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
    Someone at a forum that I frequent not so long ago mentioned the basic free version DVMP http://www.dvmp.co.uk/dv-media-player.htm in this regard. I have not tried it, but it looks specific for DV AVI type 1 or 2 video. The more advanced form (with price tag) may have greater format support??

  • Sms/imessage entries missing time/date stamp

    I just upgraded to IOS7.  I could not find a way to show the time/date stamp of a text.  This I used quite often... for example, if my husband texts me to say he is on his way home, I could look at the time stamp to see how many minutes ago that was.  Is there a way to put the time stamp back on the texts like it was in all the previous versions?
    UPDATE:  The time/date stamp is there, but the frequency that it puts a new time/date stamp must be fairly long.  I had a text started with my husband at 4:55.  At 5:32 (looking at the time stamp that shows up on my iMac that shows same texts my iPhone does) another text was made.  The only way I can tell when the very absolute LAST text was written on my iPhone is to back out to the menu of all my contact listings I have message conversations with.  There it shows when last text was sent... 6:20.  That is Almost 50 minutes later than the last text, it is almost an hour and a half since the initial text.But, yet all under same text date stamp of 4:55
    EXPLAINED A DIFFERENT WAY:
    4:55 first text
    5:32 additional text
    6:20 next text
    Only time stamp shown on my iphone is the 4:55, all these texts are under the same time/date stamp.  My iMac mirrors the same texts and shows all three incremental time stamps.  That is how my phone used to be.  How do I get it back?

    You should tap you scren and move like you want to move the full scren to the left! A column will appear!
    PS: What I think is that @Apple should urgently think more about UX and UI this new IOs7 is amde for pro. UN-HAPPY

  • Missing time/date stamp

    I imported footage from my Sony DCR-HC32 mini-DV into imovie (4.0.1) to edit and when I "shared" it back to my camera the time/date stamp was no longer showing. Just the dash lines at the bottom right corner of my LCD screen. I have done this procedure on many occasions and the stamp is always included. Does anyone know what happened and how can I fix it? I need the time code to appear on my final tape. FYI the clip still shows the date/time when it's clicked on.
    Thanks.

  • SAP WM 6.1 : Barcode Scanning Time&Date stamp capture

    Hi Experts,
    Our client have new requirement: we enable the Barcode scanning functionality for Functional Location in Notification screen, when user scan the functional location we need capture the time & date stamp also.   I am able to capture the functional location but not able to capture the date&time stamp of barcode scanning.
    can any body guide me how to capture the date&time stamp during scanning.
    Thanks
    Chigari

    Chigari,
    How you accomplish this will depend on where exactly you are scanning.
    If you are on a transaction screen you can simply add an additional property to the transaction to store the current date and time.
    If you are scanning to a list screen then you can look at adding / updating the single match action and no match actions to add in a transaction to store the timestamp.

  • Re: removal of time/date stamp

    How do I remove the time/date stamp from photos in iphoto?

    Where is the time/date stamp? If it is in the EXIF data then you can not remove it but cna modify it - select the photo and use the adjust time/date command under the photos menu
    If it is on the photo then it is a part of the picture and can only be removed by editing - retouch or clone tool - you need to turn that feature of the camera off so it will stop putting the information on teh photo

  • I keep losing the time date stamp when uploading the video and need to keep it HELP

    Using Premier 7 making a video for my son and need to keep the time/date stamp that is visible when playing the video direct from the camera to the tv. When I compile the video and burn to DVD this Stamp disappears how do keep it on the film that I am editing so when I burn it will be still there?

    Ah, PrElements 7. I thought that you had Pr 7.0, which was also named PrPro 1.0.
    The forum that you want is HERE.
    Now, in PrE's forum, look for the FAQ section, to the right of the main page. Steve Grisetti has done a few FAQ's on HDD cameras, and their MPEG files.
    As for your Date/Time stamp, I am not sure if any of the DVDate programs will work directly with that. There are a few threads, but I do not recall the solutions. Do a search of that forum and you will get some info.
    Back in later versions of PrPro, I have some tips on TimeCode, but that is different than what you want.
    I also do not know if something like SceneAlyzer Live can Capture what you want.
    Still, others have asked in the PrE forum, so there might be some solutions.
    See you there,

  • Adding time/date stamp

    Hello,
    I have several MPEG2 clips I'd like to add a running time/date stamp to.  Can I do this with Premiere Elements?
    Thanks

    Hm-m, not sure what to suggest, if DVDate will not work for you.
    When I need the TimeCode displayed, I use PrPro, or After Effects, as each has a very good TimeCode Effect.
    Maybe others will have some specific input for PrE.
    Sorry that did not work for you.
    Good luck,
