Imovie date stamp

I have imported my iMovie event library into Final Cut Pro X. Unfortunately it looks like Final Cut Pro X is ignoring the date/time stamp that iMovie embeds in the file name of the media files. Consequently, all imported files are coming with their Mac OS X date/time stamp - which is the date the movie was imported into iMovie rather than the date the movie was recorded.
Any tips on solving this problem would be immensely appreciated. I have tons of videos dating back from 2008, and this is quite a pain.
Thanks

Hi
You can't
Or should I say - if it is not present in the Video-Clip then it can not be shown.
Methods You can use:
a. Use the text tool and write it in. Manually
b. Import Yours material (Event's) - via analog way and then let Camera playback with Date/Time visibly - Yes You lose picture quality - but Date and Time is correct. You use an Analog to Digital Converter in between Camera and Mac to do this.
c. Use a mixed version of above. BUT now You also need a Video-Editing programs that handles several Video Tracks and Masks to just present the Date/Time above the full quality Digital Video clip as background. FinalCut can do this.
But no Quick-Fix is present as I'm aware of. Sorry.
Yours Bengt W

Time date stamp ?

When making a video has anyone experienced trouble with the time and date on the time line being different fro the original clip ?
i have to be sure the video displays the correct time and date for legal cases. I am considering purchasing the program and swithching from iMovie and final cut pro beacause the will not display the correct time and date without having to minipulate each clip.
Thank you

Premiere Pro does not have time date stamp functionality. FYI, you can download the Premiere Pro CC trial to try out for free. https://creative.adobe.com/products/premiere

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.

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

Date stamp from mDV camera not visible on viewer , nor recorded.

Though the data code is pressed till the date and time stamp is visible on the camera Display,
it is not received by final cut pro.
For some projects they want some time and date stamped , sequences.
Can anything be done ?

Date stamp data is not something read by FCP ... try iMovie,
Alternatively, check the camera's output options, it may be possible to output the data burnt-in on the s-video or some such ... if you have the requisite i/o hardware you could then digitize from that signal path

Correcting the date stamp with files converted with mpgstreamclip.

I have converted some files using streamclip but it changes the date of the file to the date of the conversion. When I try importing them into imovie they are sorted incorrectly. The files were recorded in 07 but now have the date stamp of today. Can anyone help me solve this I am new to the mac and converting footage.

It seems that I have solved my own problem while searching for answers.
First I selected the clip with the incorrect date
Next select File and select Adjust clip date and time.
Hope this helps someone.

Date Stamping Photos

I am newbie to Lightroom but am quickly loving this program. One of the issues that led me here is date stamping. Our dSLR does not allow for date stamping (Nikon D40x). What it does is retains the "capture date" in the metadata ( i beliee most cameras do). We take approximately 1,000 photos a month and would love to have them date stamped.
Our processing is done through Kodak, who will not read the capture data from the metadata and stamp on the photo.
My next option was thir party software - in comes Lightroom 3. Well reading through the forums I found this was possible via LR Mogrify 2. It was installed and it works great. The amount of time I save vs the Gena Photstamper is incredible. The problem I am having now is that Kodak auto crops the pictures before developing which crops the date stamp (located on the bottome right hand corner).
I have selected on the Kodak site "print entire picture" which elliminates the cropping but leaves white bars on the ends of the picture. The reason for this per the Kodak rep is due to photo size. My next step was to go back into Lightroom and set the export size to 1200 X 1800. The result was something close but not exactly that dimension. Which still leaves me with either vertical or horizontal bars on the picture when processed.
If anyone has encountered anything similar or if you have any possible solutions can you please help.

May I suggest that you buy a camera that will imprint the date on your
photo and be done with it. There are many point and shoots with good quality
that will do this very thing.
Keep it simple..........

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

Add Date Stamp

Hi,
In a proxy to file(receiver file adapter) scenario, is there any way to append date in a specific format(ddmmyyyy) at the end of the file name.
ex: sample23122009
Add time stamp adds the date in a different format.
If if is possible thru Receiver file adapter operating system command.
Please suggest me how to do that.
thanks.
sri

Hello Arunsri,
Try to use dynamic file name configuration option in receiver file adapter channel. In mapping just concatenate the date stamp as required with your filename.Take this as constant.
For this you may modify u r target structure. Add one more node as
FileName -- Node
-FileName -- Field
In content conversion use that
FileName.fieldFixedLengths - 0(Zero)
FileName.fixedLengthTooShortHandling -- Cut. So that the extra field would not appear in file.
Hopt it will helps.
Cheers

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.

Date Stamp MySql-PHP

Hi All:
I have a form that I using to upload my portfolio using the
php insert record function of Dreamweaver. How can I make it add
the date stamp using dreamweaver? Is the a piece of code some can
provide? My thought was add some kinda of hidden field and do
something with that. Any help would be appreciated.

.oO(cupaball)
>Great! Where does that go in all this Dreamweaver code?
>
> if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) &&
($_POST["MM_insert"] == "portfolio")) {
> $insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO port_tb (comp_name,
design_type, URL,

long_pic) VALUES (%s,

> GetSQLValueString($_POST['large_pic'], "text"),
> GetSQLValueString($_POST['long_pic'], "text"));
Where do you want the date to go? The date column has to be
listed
inside of the parentheses after "INSERT INTO port_tb", the
NOW() call
inside the VALUES parentheses at the same position. Here's an
example
with the date at the first position (adjust the name as
necessary):
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO port_tb (dateField,
comp_name,
design_type, URL, short_des, long_des, thumbnail,
medium_pic,
large_pic, long_pic) VALUES (NOW(), %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s,
%s, %s,
%s)",
... // all the rest

Date Stamping pics to be printed

I would like to select a number of photos that are going to be printed either with a service or on my printer and add a date stamp to all of the selected photos. All I have been able to do now is edit each picture and add a date on them one at a time.
Is there an easier way that I am missing? Thanks.

Ken
Juergen is correct that IrfanView is a wonderful utility that does many things, including your request. Considering it is free, it is amazing the functions it delivers.
However, if you want to add a "date" you can fake it with Process Multiple Files under Files in Editor. There is a Custom Text box that you can write in a text string to look like a date format and select the size and color of the output. I'd suggest a test photo first to check what the output looks like.
If you have not used this function before, it is pretty straight forward. I normally use a different folder for source and destination, just to keep my originals intact. I also set File Type to High Quality JPEG, even if the originals already are HQJ, as I think the default is Medium Size (even if you don't change the File Type). I'd have to retest this assumption.

Simple date stamp script

Hello Adobe Community!
I have 100+ photos to which I need to add a date stamp. Is there a simple script to do this? I'd like to make it an action too if possible, and it's worth noting that I have no idea how to script! There were some samples linked here but I can't for the life of me figure out how to edit them to get the desired effect.

You can't use the date from either the profile folder or NTUSER.DAT as a reliable indicator of when a user last logged on, if I understand what you're trying to do. The profile folder date may not be updated even when the user's profile is active;
my own profile folder on my current system hasn't been updated for fifty days, even though I've logged off and on repeatedly and rebooted the system at least once.
On the other hand, NTUSER.DAT, since it contains the user's registry hive, can be updated
at any time by a malware scanner, malicious website blocker, or registry cleaner, or (I think) by some kinds of software installation or update.
If you want to delete user profiles according to when the user last logged on, you're probably going to have to scan the security log (assuming you have security auditing enabled). Maybe a tool like
Log Parser from Microsoft is what you need.
If you're running in a domain, you should research ways to get information from Active Directory as well.

Certificate of Completion with Date Stamp

Greetings,
Is it possible to make a form that will automatcally add a date stamp to it.? Here is the scenario: a user completes a series of questions through an eLearning module. At the end of it, they click on a button/link that takes them to a page that has a PDF in it. The PDF has a fillable form so they enter their name into it and at some point, maybe when they get to the pdp, it is time/date stamped for that user. They print the PDF out and give it to their supervisor.
Make sense?
Maybe it's not possible to get the stamp to be added as soon as they get to the PDF, maybe they have to push a button on the PDF to have it added? I don't know what is possible or if it is possible. We would just like to have some way to get a date stamp onto the PDF. The PDF doesn't have to be downloaded, it only needs to be printed as hardcopy, although having an option to have the PDF emailed to the user might be an option as long as it can only be printed.
Comments, suggestions?

Yes, it's possible, with a bit of JavaScript. You can have the date field automatically populated when the form is first opened or after they enter their name. For the latter, you could add the following script to the Validate event of the name field:
// Get a reference to the date field
var f = getField("date");
if (event.value) {
f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
} else {
f.value = "";
Replace "date" with the actual name of your date field. You can also use a different date format, but this should get you started. If you want it to populate when the document is opened, it's a bit more complicated, but post again if this is what you want.

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,
Hunt
