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.

  • Importing clips from iMovie HD does not preserve capture date

    Hi,
    I am importing iMovie HD projects into iMovie 09.
    The clips in iMovie HD (originally imported from DV) have the correct capture date/time on them.
    However, when I import these clips into iMovie 09, it does not preserve these dates for the events but instead chooses to use the "file create date/time" as the event date time.
    Is this info lost forever in iMovie 09 or is there some setting that can use the original clip capture date info as the event date/time?
    Thanks.

  • 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?

  • Problems with Capture Date when converting from PSE9

    I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem I'm having when converting my PSE9 catalog to LR3.4. Specifically, about 20% of my images (abouit 2,500 out of 12,000) didn't import with capture dates. I can clearly see the correct capture dates in PSE9 Organizer, but when I view the same imported images in LR3.4, there is no date. This occurs with dates that I've modified in PSE9 as well as dates straight out of the camera.
    This is a major problem for me because I'm used to organizing my photos in PSE9 using capture dates. On a related note, PSE9 allows you to set the capture date to a known year and unknown month, day, and time, but when imported into LR3, these dates are converted to Jan 01 of the known year. Sorry, but Jan 01 is not the same as unknown. Is there a way to correctly display unknown portions of a capture date in LR3 similar to the way it's displayed in PSE9?
    Sorry if this has been discussed before.

    How did you convert your catalog?  Did you use File > Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog, or did you use File > Import Photos?  You should use the former; the latter has many problems, among which PSE doesn't always correctly write medata (e.g. capture dates) into files. If you used File > Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog, post an image here and we can take a look at its metadata to troubleshoot.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    On a related note, PSE9 allows you to set the capture date to a known year and unknown month, day, and time, but when imported into LR3, these dates are converted to Jan 01 of the known year.
    Even though Adobe's XMP metadata standard allows for unknown month, day, or time, most programs including LR don't support it -- PSE is the only program I know of that does (and it has problems).  I use the conveniton of 1/1 12:00:00 to represent unknown values.
    See this FAQ for other issues with converting PSE catalogs to LR:

  • Importing from iMovie 06, lose capture dates

    When I import old iMovie 06 movies, the capture dates gets lost. Here is one of the original clips in iMovie 06:
    However, after importing in iMovie 11, the capture dates are lost.  I tried many variations, like import the iMovie 06 project, or cd to the *.iMovieProject directory and import the actual clips, etc.
    Now, good iMovie11 clips have the capture date imbedded in the file name (as in clip-2010-03-14 hh;mm;ss.dv).  However, the ones imported from iMovie 06 end up in iMovie 11 with simple names such as clip55.dv.  So it's not surprising I cannot see the capture dates in iMovie 11.
    So I looked inside the *.iMovieProject directory hoping to find the capture dates either in the file name or in a plist, but I couldn't (nothing in the plists below)
    ... Jan 23  2010 Cache/Thumbnails.plist
    ... Jan 23  2010 Cache/Timeline Movie Data.plist
    ... Jan 23  2010 Cache/Timeline Movie.mov
    ... Nov  8  2009 Media/Clip55.dv
    etc
    Finally, I opened Clip55.dv in QuickTime and looked at MovieInspector, but I could not see any capture date (similar to exif in jpegs).
    So obviously I missed them. My question is where in the iMovie 06 project can I find them?   If accessible, I can write a script to fix the clips imported in iMovie11 by changing their names. I tried it manually, and it worked.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi - Couple of things.
    Click on the offending clip that you imported from iMovie in your FCP Bin and type Command + 9 to see the item properties. Either report those item properties, or if easier, take a screen shot of the item properties and post that.
    Then click any where on the timeline you are having trouble with and type Command + 0 (Zero) to see the sequence settings. Either report those settings or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings window and post that.
    In order for FCP to use the video without rendering, both the items properties of the source clip, and the sequence settings must match - and both must be within standard production parameters.
    Also, you can click on the source clip in the FCP Bin, then control-click on the clip and select Reveal in Finder from the drop down menu. Once that file is revealed, open it in Quicktime 7 and see if if plays correctly there.
    Hope this helps.

  • Imported iMovie HD project clips have incorrect capture date - add-on info

    People converting their .dv files from the iMovie HD style into iMovie 09 style report some frustration at having to rename their clips to view them properly. For discussion, see:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1344628
    Fortunately, within the thread, a kind soul has posted a solution - many thanks. This posting is an add-on to that thread, posted here because that thread is archived.
    Unfortunately, I could not understand the instructions fully, so I spent some time working out how to make it go, since the solution requires something beyond the usual drag-and-drop to work.
    *To Convert the Dates and Names of DV Files from iMovie HD to the Event-Date Format of iMovie 09*
    1. Download and Unzip the DVRecordingDate file. It produces a folder with four items: COPYING.txt, DVRecordingDate.class, README.txt and DVRecordingDate.java. None of these should be double clicked.
    2. Identify the folder that has your iMovie 6 .dv files. These files will be entirely renamed, so if they are used in any other projects, only work on a copy of them.
    3. Launch the program Terminal - it's in the Utilities folder of the Applications folder
    4. When you see a prompt ending in a $, type +cd /Users/yourname/Downloads/DVrecordingDate-1-1.0+,
    where /Users/yourname/Downloads/DVrecordingDate-1-1.0 is the folder containing the downloaded DVRecordingDate file. This will change the prompt that appears on every line, but it will still end with a $.
    (HINT: you can get the path name of this folder by selecting it in the Finder, and choosing copy. All you then need do is type cd in Terminal, and paste the rest in.)
    Now is when we rename the files - as stated elsewhere, the Finder creation date is NOT changed - it is only the file name that changes. However, this is enough for iMovie 09 to understand when the file was recorded, and where it should be stored within the events system.
    5. At the $ prompt, type +java DVRecordingDate -rename /Users/yourname/Movies/iMovie\ Events.localized/myholiday/Clip\ *.dv+, where +/Users/yourname/Movies/iMovie\ myholiday/+ is the name of the the folder that has your iMovie 6 .dv files. Again, this can be copied from the Finder, and pasted in after typing java DVRecordingDate -rename. The *.dv part os to ensure the program coverts all your files in the folder.
    A list appears:
    Renaming file(s) from, to:
    /Users/yourname/Movies/myholiday/Clip 01.dv clip-2003-08-31 20;37;41.dv
    /Users/yourname/Movies/myholiday/Clip 02.dv clip-2003-09-04 18;43;26.dv
    /Users/yourname/Movies/imyholiday/Clip 03.dv clip-2003-09-04 19;00;50.dv
    etc
    and in the Finder all the files are renamed.
    And that's it. You can now import the .dv files into iMovie 09 and it will give the files their proper dates within the system.
    Hope this saves someone some time...

    No, I mean that when I import old iMovie projects into iMovie 08 the 'capture date' of footage is not correctly imported (the .dv file creation date is read in instead). Sorry to confuse the issue with the comment about the camera: I just meant to say that all the equipment I used in my setup is fairly standard yet there is a glaring bug in this fundamental functionality.
    Regarding re-import: it took me ages to originally import my dv tapes to the computer & not really practical to go through that again.
    FWIW, I've not yet imported anything from dv directly into 08

  • How to import photos from Mail to iPhoto and preserve the date created?

    I have several photos sent to me via email attachments in Mail which I want to "add to iphoto."  When I do this, the original date of the photo changes to "today's date." 
    When I drag the photo to the desk top, the file (photo) properties change and the date changes to "today's date."
    Is there a way to import photos and preserve the original date the photo was taken?  For example,  if my family finally got around to sending me photos from 4th of July, I know the date is 7/4/2012, not today's date, 10/9/2012. 
    I want to avoid the time/work of doing batch changes on countless photos I want to add to iphoto. 
    iphoto 11
    mail 5.3
    Lion 10.7.5

    Larry, I need more information...
    Using what you said, I ran some tests using photos taken with my digital camera in iPhoto.  My photos show the following information in the "information" sidebar:
    •type of camera
    •Flash on
    •Format size
    •File size (MB)
    •File type (jpeg)
    •Frame "number"
    •Month/day/year/hour/min/sec/AM-PM
    Then I tried to email a photo to myself:  I have tried:  "share," "attach," "drag/drop" a photo into email and sent it to myself as a test.  Once the photo arrives in my Mail inbox, I have tried various ways to add this "test" photo into iPhoto:
    "Add to iphoto"
    "drag into iphoto"
    "export into iphoto"
    Each time, iphoto created the photo with "today's date."  In the past, I would get an alert:  Photo already exists in iphoto, do you still want to import?  Duplicate or Cancel
    Can you elaborate on, "if the photo properties are present and correctly formatted then iPhoto uses them."
    When I drag a photo to the desktop and double-click to preview the photo, the top of the preview window says:
    P1009.jpg -- locked (gray lettering of the word "locked")
    Is there a setting I need to change to "unlock" the properties of my photos?*
    Thanks!!
    MG
    *My original post focuses on importing photos sent from other people.  I am hoping if I can solve the matter with my own photos, other photos will import with original dates created, too.

  • Import old film photos as tif, capture date set to 12/31/03 (1903)

    Lightroom 5.5 on Mac Mountain Lion, 8gb memory, files on external usb 2.0 hard drive.
    Imported old film images as tifs.  Looking in metadata the capture date on all images shows as 12/31/1903 (12/31/03?).  Where did this come from as there is no capture date in the original film tif image.  Is there a setting someplace I missed?  Is this a bug?
    TIA for assistance/answer provided.

    The date created metadata within the document is hosed, I've seen this with files in the past, not sure what causes it. Why that old date, who knows but it's a common issue:

    You'll have to use LR's Edit Capture Time command to fix it.

  • Manipulating Capture Date on Import in RC3.6

    Although I gather there were changes to how metadata is handled on Import in RC3.6, I still find that LR is pretty fussy when working with jpgs that have incomplete metadata. I've found a workaround that keeps me happy.
    I'm importing a large batch of jpgs, on CDs, that have minimal metadata and reflect file create date, not actual date shot. I use an Import preset, with the IPTC Date Created field populated with the correct capture date/time (plus creator, copyright and other info). After import, the new data is indeed in the IPTC fields, but there is no date in EXIF, and the wrong create date shows in grid display badge.
    But if I go to Edit Capture Time, the fields are populated with the corrected date. Hit Change, and all is well: EXIF Date Time Original and Date Time fields now populated correctly (based on righthand panel) and grid sorts correctly. When I use EXIFTool to look at the data, it's clear that there are sections of EXIF missing, even after the import, that are finally created and written out by Edit Capture Time and not by Import.
    An easy workaround: after I import a batch, I Select All, Edit Capture Time and, without making any changes, hit Change. The entire batch is fixed.
    Just sayin', I would have expected Import to apply a metadata template that Library would be completely happy with.

    You'd be best to report this over at the new forum for bugs, etc here.

  • 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.

  • How to reorder photos in folders based on capture date

    I have scanned a bunch of photographs and imported them into lightroom. I then went and changed all the capture dates to represent when the photos were actually taken. Now I would like to put the photo's in a folder structure based on the capture date (as all my other photo's are). How is it best to do this?
    Thanks,

    Well, if you are going to re-import them, then you really don't need to export them first in original format.
    I mean, assuming you checked the box which allows Lr to write to the raws when you changed capture time, then you should be able to simply delete (remove) from existing catalog, then re-import in preferred structure. If you did NOT allow Lr to update the raws (and so capture time would be lost when re-importing), then we need to talk (and I don't think exporting in original format will preserve capture time in that case either).
    Backup everything first...

  • Capture Date/Time - clobbered by LR 1.1

    Oh No!
    It appears that LR 1.1 has clobbered the Capture Date/Time after writing out the metadata.
    To try to be clearer, I've been using Elements 5.0 which organizes my photos (all jpg) by date. The date the photo was taken (which is also the date the file was created) are important to me. Those fields are respected by other Adobe products (Album, Elements 5.0 and Bridge CS2). Somehow LR 1.1 treats this date differently and with less importance than other Adobe and non-Adobe applications.
    I am not too concerned about the date that the metadata was changed, which LR shows. I want to see the date the picture was taken.
    The only way I managed to see that in LR was to customize the display using
    Jeffrey's Lightroom Metadata Viewer Preset Builder (for Lightroom 1.1). (Why I had to use a 3rd party add template creator to see the Capture Date/Time I don't know - it should be right there in LR - but leave that aside for the moment) .
    Anyhow, I manipulate the metadata by adding keywords and then tell LR to write that to the files. In this process the creation date/time vanished on a number of photos. The only way I could get it back was to use a backup of the original files (losing keywords and other data in the process)or to use Exifier to set the date/time, remove the collection from LR and reimport.
    Something as important as the date and time the photo was taken (file creation) is a key bit of data that should be readily available and visible in the metadata display and should not be clobbered or lost when writing out metadata to the files. I see there are other complaints about this and some expressing horror that Adobe didn't fix it in LR 1.1.
    My point is simple - for my purposes I cannot fully utilize LR 1.1 if the Creation Date/Time cannot be readily seen, or is in danger of being lost, I would have to use other software.
    Geeze, and I was beginning to get comfortable with LR...
    Maybe the good folks at Adobe have some comment and might be able to rectify this?
    In the alternative, is there something I'm missing about the way Capture Date/Time is supposed to be treated by LR users?
    Advice and pointers would be appreciated.

    Here we go:
    1. None DateTime tag defined in exif (or DateTime tags corrupted)
    -in Metadata Browser (left panel) Date will be seen as Unknown Date.
    -Thumbnail show no DateTime value,

    3. Only CreateDate defined in exif
    -in Metadata Browser value of CreateDate will be shown,
    -Thumbnail show no DateTime value,
    -in Metadata panel, CreateDate will be shown as DateTimeDigitized
    4. Only DateTimeOriginal defined in exif
    -in Metadata Browser value of DateTimeOriginal will be shown,
    -Thumbnail shows value of DateTimeOriginal,
    -in Metadata panel, DateTimeOriginal will be shown as Capture Time
    +in Medatada panel, DateTimeOriginal will be shown as Time
    5. All three DateTime values defined in exif
    -in Metadata Browser value of DateTimeOriginal will be shown,
    -Thumbnail shows value of DateTimeOriginal,
    -Metadata panel shows CreateDate as DateTimeDigitized,
    +Metadata panel shows DateTimeOriginal as CaptureTime,
    +Metadata panel shows ModifyDate as Time
    That's it. Now... why are we confused in LR when speaking of DateTime?
    In Metadata Browser any of exif's DateTime value can be shown. That is, looking at this panel only, we never know what Date is being used! Anyway, DateTimeOriginal has priority: if DateTimeOriginal exist, it will be used for Metadata Browser -otherwise any other existing exif DateTime tag will be used.
    But if only DateTimeOriginal is missing (so both, CreateDate and ModifyDate exist), then CreateDate has priority over ModifyDate: CreateDate will be shown.
    Priority in short: DateTimeOriginal, CreateDate, ModifyDate.
    Thumbnails: only if DateTimeOriginal exists, thumbnail will contain DateTime value -otherwise thumbnail's DateTime will be blank.
    Sorting of thumbnails per CaptureTime (hence by exif DateTimeOriginal) is another story and can be quite confusing at first sight... because DateTime priorities seems to be the same as for Metadata Browser:
    If exif DateTimeOriginal exist (=CaptureTime in LR), then this value will be used for sorting. But if this value is missing, LR will try to use exif CreateDate and if this is missing too, ModifyDate will be used. OK, there's some logic... except, why I'm repeating "if this tag is missing..."?
    Because when you modify/rewrite some image, then some tool may damage DateTime in exif -remember: damaged DateTime tag is the same as tag doesn't exist!
    In short: if there's exif DateTime corruption involved, you can't be sure which of three DateTime tags is being used for sorting. For some images DateTimeOriginal will be used, for those that are missing that tag, CreateDate will be used instead.
    Images missing exif DateTime tags (or these are corrupted), will be shown as first (sort A-Z).

  • Capturing data acquisition frames reliably at 100 hz using serial, how?

    Hi All,
    I am completing development of a 14 channel, 10 bit resolution, pic based data acquisition circuit. It transmits frames of 41 bytes (currently) at 100hz using serial. The embedded code functions satisfactorily. I can see data ok using hyperterminal. I am unsure how to optimise labview to get complete frames without hogging lots of cpu/system resource etc. eg. do I simply set the frame size (num of bytes) to retrieve and set this looping as fast as possible , and/or set the rate to fetch frames at the rate frames are transmitted by the pic? This may allow drift in available buffered bytes to finally overflow the buffer.
    I tend to lose 1 byte in 100 typically doing nothing but this increase
    s to chunks of bytes if I interact with windows.
    I have the feeling a number of decisions need making when setting up a serial link like this but I am unsure which settings best suit my application.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards
    Chris

    Hi Lynn, Tristan,
    Please find the current llb attached. This has my last serial run and shows how the data gets glitchy after a number of seconds (toward end of the text box).
    I have spent time building the suggestions into code. I am not yet trying to strip out individual channels. At the moment I just want to get frames in reliably before moving on.
    It certainly looks a lot more reliable now but a few more questions have been raised. I think the idea of getting data in using 1 loop then immediately passing it for processing by another parrallel loop seems important for reliability.
    You will notice I grab a frame and it then goes into a que where it will be processed but this needs doing quickly as frames will be used in realti
    me.
    I have set up the code to trim the delay for both the get data from serial port loop and get 1 entry from the que loop.
    I am using 2 identical circuits in my product, 1 captures data from a leg harness, the other controls movements of a biped robot (servos) this occurs in "real time". I need to remove as much latency due to processing as possible.
    click on "video 3" on the right of the page for a prototype demo:
    http://www.robotic-systems.co.uk/products/full_system.htm
    I noticed that some of text embedded within text boxes used in subvi's can tend to float thro to the top level vi. I proved this by adding a bit of text and noticed it kept cropping up occasionally on the top level text box. I found this peculiar but cured it by deleting all chars in the subvi text box. Now I am concerned, could this be somthing to do with why I get glitches in text occasionally?
    Is there some labview feature to say flush all text, numbers and bools prior to running from the top leve
    l?
    I'd be gratefull if you have a look thro my llb and sanity check the flow of code and let me know what you think.
    Best Regards

  • Import/Export xml data from subtree of dynamic XFA form

    Hi Paul
    The Problem that Daniel posted was originally mine. Now after subscribing to this forum myself, I try to describe the aim of using exportAsXFDF/importAnXFDF.
    exportData("", false) and exportXFAData works, in my opinion, only with a DataConnection. In my form I have indeed such a connection for sending the whole form. But in addition I need the possibility to export and import only part of the data without overwriting the rest of the filled form.
    exportAsXFDF works with static forms. So there MUST be a possibility that works with dynamic forms, right?
    I hope anyone has a solution.

  • Capture Date issues in Lightroom !

    Hello,
    I have a 30k picture database (mixed scanned and digital camera images) in Photoshop Elements v3.
    I really would like to shift to LR, I even tried several betas about it (it was awful how slow it was on XP :).
    Now I downloaded the Lightroom v1 in order to see how can I migrate my PSE3 database into LR.
    My issue is mainly about dates: If you tell to PSE that a given image was captured (taken) in a given point of the time, PSE stores the information in its internal database and allocates it to the image. The result is a good chronological order of the pictures coming from scanner or DSLR.
    BUT: When imported to LR, the dates are getting confused: Meanwhile the left section (I think this is the Metadata browser) displays mostly correctly the PSE dates, in the LIBRARY section, the 'Date Time' on each picture is the file creation date ! On the right side the Metadata information also shows the file date instead of the capture date set by PSE.
    Do you have any idea why this is like that ?
    In this way, it's impossible to see on a given picture selection when it was really done.
    (Btw, same issue with DSLR pictures for which the date had to be modified later on due to an error of time setting in the DSLR!)
    thanks : Kadosa

    I'd have to hunt, just like you. I read them ALL, don't always remember, exactly where something is, sorry.
    Maybe a previous poster on thei will point the way?
