Is there a solution to the data/time camera metadata problem?

After a lot of testing I've nailed down a serious flaw with Lightroom, and I'm wondering if people have any sort of solution, either from within Lightroom or externally.
When Lightroom is used to export JPEGs, the exported files have the correct Image EXIF data stamped in the Date/Time Original and Date/Time Digitized fields - it matches the date/time of the RAW file, which is exactly what you'd want and expect.
What it doesn't set correctly though is the JPEG file Created, and file Modified dates - they are set as the date/time the JPEG export was done from Lightroom. There are many applications that sort based on the last modified date of the JPEG, and it's illogical that Lightroom wouldn't have the JPEG file metadata match up with the EXIF data. I can't think of a single scenario where you'd want to have two different time/data stamps in the image that you just exported.
Using ACDSee I can batch change the JPEG file Created and file Modified dates to match the EXIF data. It's an added step I shouldn't have to do, but I can do it. What I *can't* change in batch mode with ACDSee is the Camera Date/Time time - which, you guessed it, is stamped with the time that the JPEG was *created* during the export, not the time that the camera was set for when the RAW file was captured, which is what it SHOULD be set to. It should be stamped with the EXIF date/time original data. I think I already know the answer to this, but is there any setting in Lightroom that addresses this issue?
I've seen others recommend EXIFtool but using a command line tool isn't what I consider a reasonable suggestion. Are there any other tools that might help me here?

Jason -
 
 You mentioned that the CreateDate wasn't set correctly in your files. For my JPGs exported from LR, based on Canon CRW raws, the CreateDate does match the DateTimeOriginal. ExifTool is reasonable enough for me; here is a sample output of ALL the date/time related fields in one of my exported JPGs.
 
 
[File] File Modification Date/Time : 2007:07:28 11:25:31
 
 [EXIF] Create Date :
          &#16 0;     2007:07:21 15:29:14
 
 [XMP]
 Date/Time Original :
style='mso-spacerun:yes'>        &#16 0;2007:07:21 15:29:14-05:00
 
 [XMP]
 Date/Time Digitized :
style='mso-spacerun:yes'>        2007 :07:21 15:29:14-05:00
 
 [XMP]
 Modify Date :
style='mso-spacerun:yes'>        &#16 0;       2007:07:28 11:25:30-05:00
 
 [XMP]
 Metadata Date :
style='mso-spacerun:yes'>        &#16 0;     2007:07:27 14:35:04.062-05:00
 
 
 
 As discussed by other posters, I agree that the ModifyDate needs to reflect the most recent activity on this particular file, and is not related to the original capture time.

Is there a solution for the limited time of videorecording?

Is there a solution for the limited time of videorecording?
By recording on my iPad2 there is a maximum time of 49 minutes and 51 seconds.

Hello Studio X
I have an iPad2 with 64 GB. After I start the videorecording it stops automaticly by 49 minutes en 51 seconds.
I looked in my settings and there was still enough space left. Although I do not think that the 64Gb is not the problem.
I bought myself an alternative recording app now. I hope it works properly but if the quality is OK. I do not know. I combine the recordings with my video (digitaltape) camera of Sony.
Thanks for your reply

Ok it has been long enough. Could Apple at least recommend a phone that works on YouTube?

On a related note, I never have problems with the YouTube App. Yes, it could stand for an update, something that hasn't happened since its creation.

Make sure router is up to date. Try ethernet to rule out any wifi issues. Reboot ATV and router.

Hardcoding/superimposing the date/time-of-day on to video file?

Hello,
I've been working with a Panasonic AVHCD HDC-TM900 camera for a while and I need the date/time to display on my video files when I edit them in the source monitor and to display in the final product. There is no way to do this on the camera itself (according to Panasonic tech support), however I have found that VLC/Media Player Classic are able to display the information during playback. I think that it's using the subtitle track to pull the information out of the file, as it appears when I enable subtitles in VLC so I know the info is there.. Is there a tool in Premiere which would allow me to incorporate this information on to my project without having to spit out another file? Worst case scenario, I would also be open to a solution using Media Encoder as I use it for footage from other cameras but would like to avoid that if possible..
Thank you in advance for your suggestions,
AY9999

I'm not sure if this works for AVCHD, but I know it does for DV: DVdate x64 for Adobe Premiere CS5
Also, if the above doesn't work for AVCHD directly in Pr, you might look at this: Visual AVCHD Time Stamp

How do you vary the Date/Time stamp format in File Adapters

In the receiver channel of the File Adapter where you specify the 'File Name Scheme', you do have the option of specifying a 'File Construction Mode' of 'Add Time Stamp'. How can you specify a different Date/Time stamp format ( eg MM/DD/YY vs YYYYMMDD vs MMDDYY, etc. ) without changing the Date/Time stamp for the entire SAP system? Also, can you control where the Date/Time stamp appears in the filename?

Hi,
There are many threads discussing the same issue. Go thro the following:
Dynamic file name (Date) in Receiver File Adapter
Receiver File Adapter - TimeStamp
Bhavesh's reply in above thread:
You can use Adapter Specific Identifiers and then change the file name in the mapping. Append the tiem stamp in the format that you want and so on.
Just use this code in an UDF,
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String SourceFileName = conf.get(key);
java.text.SimpleDateFormat dateformat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat( "yyyyMMdd" );
dateformat.format( new java.util.Date() );
String newfilename=SourceFileName+dateformat;
// change to new file name
conf.put(key, newfilename);
return "";

How can I get the Date & Time to appear on my final project in iMovie11?

I am using iMovie 11 and have imported video from a Canon Vixia-HF21 camera. The EXIF data is imported along with the video but when I produce the final product, the date and time do not appear. How can I get the Date & Time data to appear on the final product?

There is a date and time Title you can use. If I recall correctly, it displays date plus hours and minutes, but not seconds.

How to display the Date Time using the System Time zone

Friends,
Can anyone help me with below scenario..
I have to display Date Time on a jsff page, This value associated to one of Transient View object populated from the database.. Is there any way I can handle on the screen to display the same date /time bassed on the system time zone ?
I know one way how we can handle it.. while populating to View object we can set the time based on the system time zone.. but it would be easy and simple if there is any approach I can use on UI layer itself..
thanks

I don't understand why this display doesn't pay attention to the date/time format settings that are set in the language and text prefs.
Those settings are used for date OR time, and provide for different displays depending on the space available. The menu bar does not have a fixed space available, and wants both date and time.
In Leopard, it used the medium time format. To get the date and time, you could modify that format to include the date, but that could cause problems with software that happened to use the medium time format and expectede just the time. Also, you might want to change the medium time format without changing the menu bar display. For these reasons, Snow Leopard's menu bar clock uses its own formatting for data and time display.

Adding the date/time stamp to videos already created

We have someone using Elemets 8
They need to add in the date/time stamp to video's that are already created.
The camcorder we have does record this information but doesn't allow that information to be put onto the screen its a Canon HD HF200
We were told by Adobe support we can do this but they wanted $39 plus $39 an hour.
Anyone out there able to tell me how we can get this done for free?

Try the Premier Elements forum for video questions. You will get better advice over there. Good luck.

Programatically change the Date Time series

Is there a way to set Date time series programatically thru Javascript? I have Time dimenson and I have defined a DTS as YTD. Now based upon the selection of the month by end user I need to show YTD numbers in IR?
Any idea how do I achieve that? I am not seeeing any option to call DTS thru javascript?

I do not believe that option is available.
9.3.1 introduced the new interface into OLAP Essbase Queries. My guess is that there will be more functionality added in future releases.

Sounds like we have a similar problem. Four days ago I was playing music through a wireless Bose speaker via bluetooth and everything was fine. Then I was texting while listening and got 2 texts about the same time as I was typing one and my phone went black. I pushed the home button and it worked, went into my texts and all were there. However ever since then the time isn't right, so it can't keep time no matter what I do. The bluetooth works only at times, the wifi keeps jumping on and off, sometimes my data won't work and the other day I couldn't even turn it off, so had to wait until it died. The battery life display at that moment wasn't correct either. Took to Verizon, they couldn't help. Suggested a factory reset, which I did last night and still the same issues! One day I couldn't even text my husband on his iPhone. Just wouldn't work at all. Did everything suggest and still not good. Seems like after stalking these pages today a lot of people are having this problem in Dec/Jan and of course also I'm 3 weeks out of my 1 year warranty and so were many others, by days. Very strange, and all on the 5C. What did you do? Is it working now?

Is the date/time in Milliseconds dependent on the underlying timezone

Hi,
A Timestamp is received as an argument to a method. It is meant to be for the Time Zone "America/Los_Angeles".
The value of the Timestamp is "2001-06-06 10:10:10.1".
The JVM Time Zone is "America/New_York".
The output of <Timestamp>.getTime() is
991836610000
Then I change the default Time Zone to "America/Los_Angeles" and create a new Timestamp with a value of
"2001-06-06 10:10:10.1". The same as the above Timestamp.
The output of <Timestamp>.getTime() is
991847410000
If I create a new Timestamp object using the value of 991836610000 milliseconds when the default Time Zone is "America/Los_Angeles", the date/time that is given is
"2001-06-06 07:10:10.1
The API for <Date>.getTime() states that "Returns the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT represented by this Date object.". It doesn't mention that it is dependent on the Time Zone in which the Date object was created. Hence I was assuming that the same value will be returned irrespective of the Time Zone the Date object was created in. However it appears not to be so.
Is there a way to work with date/time objects without been influenced by the underlying default Time Zone? i.e without having to change the underlying Time Zone when working with objects created in one Time Zone and with a need to be applied to a different Time Zone?
Thanks
Harsha

As malcolm pointed out, the problem is that when you parse the date, a reference timezone must be used. If you don't explicitly specify a reference timezone, the default timezone will be used.

String localTime = ...;
TimeZone localTimeZone = ...; // you presumably know this
DateFormat df = ...; // get a formatter for parsing your date
df.setTimeZone(localTimeZone);
Date date = df.parse(localTime);

Is there any solution to the colon translation bug?

Mac OS X has reserved characters that cannot be used in file or folder names. One of them is the colon: It is used by the operating system in paths to designated separate directories and files, exactly as Microsoft uses the backslash character for the same purposed.
However, Mac OS X is 'supposed' to translate colons to another character when saving files from within an application or the Mac OS X Save dialog. The typical translation is to forward slash or dash. For example, "Bug: Colon Translation" becomes "Bug- Colon Translation". Of if I am saving a web page to a PDF, the source name of an article with this title would change to "Bug/ Colon Translation".
The bug: The above colon translation process does NOT work reliably in the Mac OS X Save Dialog with reliability. I guestimate that 95% of the time the translation of colons in source titles does NOT work. Using the example of translating a web article title to a PDF saved file, the results are typically the following: "Untitled.pdf". This forces the user to copy then paste in the actual title of the article. THEN, 100% of the time, the colon translation actually works. For example, if I have a web article titled "Bug: Colon Translation", it is extremely rare for that title to be anything but BLOCKED, resulting in 'Untitled.PDF' as the resulting title in the dialog box. When I then copy and paste the source title into the title area, replacing 'Untitled', I get: "Bug- Colon Translation".
What will happen perhaps 5% of the time: The colon translation of the source title will actually work. When this occurs, using my example above, the OS provides the following translation: "Bug/ Colon Translation". Note that when it works in this situation I get a forward slash, not a dash.
I research, read and save web articles all day long. A lot of articles use colons. I have to contend with this bug all day long every day. This bug is many years old. I can't recall when it started. But it certainly has been consistent in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard and now 10.7 Lion. Three versions of Lion are enough for me to realize that Apple is either oblivious to this bug or they don't care.
Clearly, the colon translation CAN work. It is MEANT to work. No one can dispute that. The user is NOT supposed to be messed over with 'Untitled.PDF' files. They are MEANT to have actual PDF file titles, as seen in our example above.
Therefore the question:
Is there any solution to the colon translation bug?
It is incredibly annoying.

My guess is they don't care. Most likely they're illiterate and don't know what a colon is for. They probably think it's a little-used character. Remember: these are the people who don't know the difference between "deprecate" and "depreciate".
I have the same colon problem as you do. But it's not the biggest problem I have encountered in Lion. If it was only that I'd be Mr. Delighted with Lion. There's worse than having a colon - uh - that won't cooperate. A lot worse, in Lion.

"Show logging" displays the switch UP time not the Date & time

Hi,
i have cisco 2950 switch, when i type the show logging, what ever event has happend i am getting like this "26w6d: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/24, changed state to down" but it is not showing the date & time when the event has occured, so every time i need to check the show version & have to see the switch up time & then i need to calculate. is there any configuration has to be done where i should get the information of the date & time in place of switch up time eg. like this...
"Sep4 4:15: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/24, changed state to down"

what you could do is to enable timestamping if not already done so.
2950(config)# service timestamp debug datetime msec
2950(config)# service timestamp log datetime msec
or you can use SNMP to provide traps of the 'events' that occur on the device.
these SNMP traps will provide the date, time and trap.
what version IOS on that device? have you enabled timestamping? have you upgrade lately? perhaps an upgrade could be of assistance. i'll verify the operation on some 2950s i have to confirm if i have the same issue or not and what version is being used. i'll post the result when available.
