Imovie not importing the capture date of my dv footage

Hi there,
I have a rather strange problem. I've got a JVC mini DV camcorder (GR-DVL 9000), which I'm connecting to my intel imac via firewire. I've got no problem importing the footage; however, imovie is not getting any date and time information for my footage. This is annoying, as the scene detection now doesn't work: everything just becomes one long clip and I have to split it up in different clips manually. Bizarrely, if I play a tape on my JVC camcorder which was shot on another camera (a canon) it DOES transmit date and time! So my camera can transmit this information; just not for any recordings made on the machine itself. If you look on the screen of the camera, though, the date and time is displayed just fine.
Anyone got any ideas? Help much appreciated; this is driving me up the wall!

The sample file you sent didn't have any capture time in its metadata; had you done Edit Capture Time in LR followed by Save Metadata To File to that image?
In my LR 5.3 (Windows 7 64-bit), I was able to import the sample file, do Edit Capture Time to change date, and then Library view and the Metadata pane are in sync. (See screenshot below.) I was also able to do Save Metadata To File, and the capture time was correctly written to the file's metadata.
Which version of LR and version of OS X?

LR4 imports videos but gets the capture date wrong (1-1-1970)...

Hi,
LR4b on Win7 Home Premium x64, clean system reinstalled today.
I managed to successfully import my M4V videos (previously recognized, imported and managed with LR3) under LR4
even though it complains each time that Quicktime is not there (well, thank you for the info Adobe but this is on purpose that I don't want to install bloatware)
However, upon completion of the videos importation, no valid capture date is assigned to them, and they all show as 1-1-1970. Plain wrong. More tragically, files were renamed to this 1970 nonsense, so I lost the original capture date which was part of their filename. What a mess.
Each M4V video comes from a Quicktime Mjpeg .mov file, converted to more efficient H264 with FFMpeg.
Each M4V video has an associated JPEG sidecar (as originally taken by the camera) which has the correct EXIF capture time and date.
LR4 makes absolutely no use of the jpeg sidecar files, thus defeating their very purpose!
My silly (?) idea:
if LR4 for whatever reason is not able to extract a capture date from a video file, it should at least try:
1/ to extract the capture date from sidecar files, e.g. XMP or companion JPEG (which are indeed copied along, but obviously of no use to the software);
2/ to use as a last resort the file date for the video file (this is probably exposed to LR via filesystem functions)
Or perhaps just warn that files can not be imported since no 'date' metadata is retrievable... better than importing stuff with silly metadata...

Hi Anthony,
If you drag a folder of images into the viewing window of iPhoto a roll will be created with the Folders name.
Same thing if you use "add to library" and choose the folder of images to import.

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
So this is solved.

Why is the folder strukture based on the import date, and not on the Creation date? How can i setting this?

What folder structure?
If you're referring to how Aperture stores the originals in a managed library then the answer is you can't change it.
If having the originals stored in a specific file structure is important to you you will need to switch to a referenced original setup.

IMovie06HD Import Preserving Capture Date?

Hi,
I am importing iMovie06HD footage in to iMovie09. I understand that it only takes over raw footage which is fine. However, I would like the Event Date to be the Capture Date from "Command I" on a clip in iMovie06. The iMovie 09 import seems to use last modified date of the file which doesn't accurately reflect the date of the footage.
I know I can manually adjust every clip but this would require me to go back and forth between programs and I have over 30 hours of video! I am also trying to avoid re-importing from my master miniDV tapes which I guess would work as well.
Is the original meta data stored somewhere after the import? Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Alan

Yes. Just make a template in the File Renaming box of the Import window. If you use YYYYMMDD or YYMMDD you'll get the capture date on the fly when you import. Here's what I use. Hope this helps.

Not to the bottom, that I'm aware of, but to the top right or left in Grid view or to the top left in Loupe view. It is in the View Options.

"Could not get the audio data from the file" error

Hi
I get a lot of "Could not get the audio data from the file" errors when opening a project. Sometimes they crash Premiere Pro CC 7.01 (Mac). But if not Premiere works as usual, with the audio.
I tried to convert the audio files (coming from Audition) from 32 to 16 bit. It worked while opening a project once, but not the following times.
Where can it come from ?
Edit: I also get this error when importing audio: "Error: Premiere Pro version 7.0 is not compatible with the Premiere Pro Plug-in version 5.7.4". Maybe it is connected.

Got it! It was the Smartsound plugin making trouble. Got rid of it and no more errors.

Flushing the captured data uppon system failure

I'm creating a JMF application and saving the captured data to a datasink. During the recording the file output keeps increasing with the data being stuffed in it. However when some faillure occurs, like an energy power problem the file still plays but it's speed is slow and without audio, like if not all the data has been flushed yet. I need to know how to flush the data so that uppon the power faillure the file is complete until that point. Where do I start ?
Thank you !

Hi EJP, thanks for replying
Indeed may be impossible to recover everything but maybe some mecanism to make save points at regular times, to in case of a power failure, recover at least until that point. Isn't there possible to do seamlessly to the user? Thank you !Isn't it possible to refuel my car without my noticing?
No, because you have to shut down the engine and park the car while you put gas in.
It takes some time to finalize a file when you're doing writing it. It takes some time to get the stream ready to record again after you've stopped it. You can automate the process so the user doesn't have to do anything, but I think you'd have to play around with a bunch of stuff before you could even approach doing it without losing data.

Does iMovie HD retrieve the time/date code for actual recrding date of a c

Dear Apple Discussions,
I wish to know if iMovie HD retrieves the original recording time and date of a clip as a part of the time/date code, as do other video editors.
When click on a clip and select properties, the capture time and date is displayed.
Matti Haveri posted a response, but hers related to the capture date.
I wish to know the actual time and date that a clip was recorded by my DV camcorder. Can anyone out the assist me?

Really? With my setup I see the original recording date & time.
But wait, what kind of footage do you have? Originally analog footage converted to DV? THEN the digitizing device usually labels the DV with the digitizing date.

Can not access the Instance Data of a Singleton class from MBean

I am working against the deadline and i am sweating now. From past few days i have been working on a problem and now its the time to shout out.
I have an application (let's call it "APP") and i have a "PerformanceStatistics" MBean written for APP. I also have a Singleton Data class (let's call it "SDATA") which provides some data for the MBean to access and calculate some application runtime stuff. Thus during the application startup and then in the application lifecysle, i will be adding data to the SDATA instance.So, this SDATA instance always has the data.
Now, the problem is that i am not able to access any of the data or data structures from the PerformanceStatistics MBean. if i check the data structures when i am adding the data, all the structures contains data. But when i call this singleton instance from the MBean, am kind of having the empty data.
Can anyone explain or have hints on what's happening ? Any help will be appreciated.
I tried all sorts of DATA class being final and all methods being synchronized, static, ect.,, just to make sure. But no luck till now.
Another unfortunate thing is that, i some times get different "ServicePerformanceData " instances (i.e. when i print the ServicePerformanceData.getInstance() they are different at different times). Not sure whats happening. I am running this application in WebLogic server and using the JConsole.
Please see the detailed problem at @ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1151117/can-not-access-the-instance-data-of-a-singleton-class-from-mbean
I see related problems but no real solutions. Appreciate if anyone can throw in ideas.

The system is not reachable, the login data could not be considered

Hello
I'm trying to connect via Hana Studio to a Hana One instance I have configured in AWS, following the guides & videos in the Hana Academy.
When adding the system in Hana studio, I get an error message after inputting the SYSTEM password:
The system is not reachable, the login data could not be considered
I've seen another post in the forum where the user solved the issue by resetting the SYSTEM password to a password without special characters, but mine is already "special character" free.
Are there others who have had difficulties when adding a new system?
Regards
Yann

Hi Swapan,
Thank you for your attention and message.
I downloaded the SAP HANA Studio from "Get your own SAP HANA, developer edition on Amazon Web Services (http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-28294)", specifically at SAP HANA Studio, developer edition and SAP HANA Client, developer edition, for Windows XP 32-bit. Is this HANA One? How to know the version of HANA server? How to make my Internet or firewall allow me to go out to the JDBC port? I am just learning to deal with these computer-science issues.

Hi Beiwei,
I suppose you are using HANA One (which you can only launch today from AWS Marketplace and HANA costs 99 cents/hr). If it is HANA One, which version of HANA One you are using? Please make sure you are using the same version of HANA Studio with HANA Server? Instance number in HANA One is 00.
If you HANA One, by default, it will open all the necessary ports. Please make sure you are Internet or your firewall allow you to go out to the JDBC port. If not, you cannot connect your studio behind your firewall with HANA server in the cloud.
Thanks,
Swapan

My wife's iTunes used ID will not work. Tried resetting the password, but email was not received. Tried using personal questions method, but would not accept the correct date of birth, so could not go any further. Has her iTunes ID been hacked? How can I fix this?

Thanks for that advice @randers4.
I linked through and submitted my info as a "topic not covered" in the iCloud section. After entering the serial number of my MBP it turns out I wasn't eligible for technical support (though I don't think this is hardware related support) and the final suggestion was to take my computer into an Apple store. I called my local Apple reseller and asked for assistance. The customer service rep was very nice but unable to help, so suggested I call Apple Support on 1300 321 456. I did so and, again, spoke to two very polite and helpful customer service people (I was transferred to security services). I didn't have to be on hold to speak to either rep for more than a few seconds! After trying a few different things, he worked out what was happening...
So, to cut a long story short, to solve the problem in my OP, all I had to do was log out of iCloud in my System Preferences and log back in using my current Apple ID. [Edited to add that I had to sign out of everything I was currently signed in to with my Apple ID before logging out and in again.]
Problem solved!

Thank you for your suggestions. I downloaded a more recent version of Twain, but this didn't help. I also tried closing and opening Photo Shop and restarting my computer without success. Reinstalling Photo Shop sounds like a very promising solution, but I'm not sure I will do it. In the meantime I can scan items using a printer program. These scans open in Photo Shop. It is an extra step.
