Problems with the "Date Created" Metadata in Adobe Bridge

Hi everyone.
I am currently working on an electronic photo library for our organization.  Part of my mandate is to add a Date Created metadata on all the photos since it is very important to know when the photo was taken.  Some photos were dated since 1980s.  Since we do not have the digital version of the old photos, we end up scanning these and, in effect the date specified on the "Date Created" was the date it was scanned.
I have the date of some of the old photos when it was taken, but for some, I only have the month and the year (sometimes, just the year).  Inventing a day and a month is not an option.
Is it possible to enter a month-year or just the year on the Date Created field under Metadata?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
.m.u.r.d.o.c.h.

The problem is that dates are recorded in the file in different schemas. Bridge is displaying the XMP Date Created field which was likely derived from the original Exif date (probably DateTimeOriginal, but may be DateTimeDigitized). This will be the date recorded in the file by the scanner software at the time it was scanned.
The IPTC Date Created field is handled differently. It seems counterintuitive, but if you work in the news business you will know that news photographers often use the IPTC Date Created field more like a "date submitted" or "date scheduled" property, so that photos for a particular shoot which may have been captured over multiple days will sort together.  Because of this, most image browsers will not update the XMP Date Created (or Date Taken) fields when the IPTC Core date is changed.
You can edit the original capture date in various programs, which should cause both the Exif and the XMP Date Created fields to be updated. Two that come to mind are Lightroom and BreezeBrowser Pro (for Windows).  I've found that with certain images it is necessary to use both programs to get all the dates to line up.

  • P2 ingested footage with wrong date created metadata

    Hello, we're trying to standarize all of the media for our systems. Part of this includes ingesting P2 footage using Prelude and encoding it as DVCHDPro quicktime files. I know that the recommended method that adobe gives for ingesting P2 footage is to keep the file structure in tact and use the media browser function of Premiere; this, however, doesn't suit our company's needs of maintaining a relativaly NLE-agnostic media library and having quicktime compatiable discrete video clips of all our media. We're using Mac OSX operating systems, by the way. 
    The problem is that, when using Prelude to ingest, it seems that Prelude obliterates the "date created" metadata and file data (e.g. when selecting the "get info" on the clip itself; that file data). After ingesting a clip, if I open it in Premiere, there is no date-based metadata that matches the original record time on the .mxf file itself. Nor when I view the clip in OSX's "get info" does the "date created" panel reflect the date that the original file was created. It seems that it should be possible to write the original "date created" data to the ingested file (in the ingest panel in Prelude I can see the correct "date created" time); FCPX is able to do this when ingesting P2 media using their systems. Is there an option that I'm missing or is this simply not possible with this version of Prelude?
    To illustrate: here's a screencap of the ingest panel in prelude, notice the "date created" column reads 2013-06-28T11:43:05; which is the correct record date of that clip:
    However, after I ingest the clip, both within Premiere and the "get info" panel in OSX, the "date created" now refers only to my import time:

    Thanks both for your responses. I checked the .mxf file "date created" and it is indeed empty (see picture).
    The "date modified time" however, is correct. I do understand that when dragging media directly from the media browser in premiere that the metadata displays correctly; what I think should also happen is that when the footage is ingested and transcoded via Prelude, it should also display correct metadata. As shown in my pictures above, prelude does indeed see the correct "date created" (wherever it gets that information); it just obliterates it after it transcodes the clip; it's not available either in the "get info data" (which, somehow, FCPX does do when importing P2 media through their system) nor (most strangely) in premiere. Any settings or changes that could be made to address this would be appreciated.

  • Problem with the date conversion

    Hi Friends,
    i am facing the problem with the date conversion,  Actuall my requirement is to pass the date to the screen based on the user setting roles(SU01).
    I have fetched the user setting date format by using the funciton module SUSR_GET_USER_DEFAULTS, The function module picks the exact user date setting (Like as MM/DD/YYYY, MM.DD.YYYY, DD.MM.YY).
    After that i have implemented the FORMAT_DATE_4_OUTPUT funciton module for converting of the user role setting date format into system  date format.
    for the english language case the funciton module FORMAT_DATE_4_OUTPUT works fine but the funciton module not supported for other languages
    Can you please provide the Function Moudle for user setting date conversion.
    The funciton module is most important for us,
    Thanks

  • Spotify and facebook problem with the date

    Hi, everyone.My spotify account have a problem with the date. I changed the date on facebook and nothing happens with that, the spotify account has a wrong date, is not the same as facebook account

    Hi ,
    By default , RFC accept date format of SQL date (yyyy-mm-dd) . If you are using a date picker from WD, it directly set the date in SQL date format. Incase if you are trying to pass date to RFC in some other way you have to convert that into SQL date format before passing.
    if you are passing String date of format dd-mm-yyyy , you try this method to convert that to SQL date and pass to your RFC.
    public java.sql.Date sqlDateConvert( String date)  {
        //@@begin sqlDateConvert()
         java.sql.Date dateObj=null;
         try{     
              StringTokenizer tempStringTokenizer = new StringTokenizer(""+date,"-");          int dd=Integer.parseInt(tempStringTokenizer.nextToken().trim());
                                    int mm=Integer.parseInt(tempStringTokenizer.nextToken().trim());
              mm=mm-1;
              int yyyy=Integer.parseInt(tempStringTokenizer.nextToken().trim());
              Calendar cal =Calendar.getInstance();   
              cal.set(yyyy,mm,dd);

  • Why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported?How do I stop it from changing?

    why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported?  How do I stop it from changing? I must have a prefernce set up wrong.

    I don't know what OS you are using, or what application you are using to view the data about your exported files, but on Windows and using Windows Explorer the "Date Created" field relates only to the date that the exported file was created, i.e. if viewed immediately after export it will show the date created as being the same date. In order to view "Capture Date" in something like Explorer, you first have to ensure you have included the Metadata as Conrad outlined above, then you have to adjust the display properties of Explorer to show the "Date Taken" field. Here is an example, part of a folder I exported back on March 3rd, note the difference between that last two dates:

    Good morning,
    Without the instrument it might be hard for others to help
    troubleshoot the problem.  Was there a
    specific LabVIEW programming question you had, are you having problems with the
    instrument communication, are there errors? 
    I’d like to help, but could you provide some more specific information
    on what problems you are encountering, and maybe accompany that with a simple
    example which demonstrates the behavior? 
    In general we don’t we will be unable to open specific code and debug,
    but I’d be happy to help with specific questions. 
    I did notice, though, that in your logging VI you have at
    least one section of code which appears to not do anything.  It could be that a small section of code, or
    a wire was removed and the data is not being updated correctly (see pic below).  Is your file being opened properly?  Is the data being passed to the file
    properly?  What are some of the things
    you have examined so far?
    Sorry I could not provide the ‘fix’, but I’m confident that
    we can help.  Thanks for posting, and
    have a great day-

  • HT3345 Importing from xls problems with the date format (mixed european format)

    Hi.
    I made some spreadsheets with Neo Office and saved them in xls format. So I can import them in numbers, doing so in OpenOffice, LibreOffice or even the worst in Mircosoft Office on a PC works just fine. But importing them with Numbers 2.0.4 it just don't work.
    I have Mac OSX 10.5.8 and a PowerPC G4 1,67 GHz.
    The date format in all other programs is " 21.05.2011" and numbers creates "21/05/2011" out of it. Although my international setting is set to 23.05.2012. It defines the cells as my own format and takes than the totally wrong format.
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem, or how to change all the weird own formats in my international setting, which would be correct.
    Best regards.

    Hi Franklin,
    I used to have similar problem with date too. To make my forms and reports work for all date, I used to send the parameter from forms to the report in text format. In the report, I grab that parameter as "Text Format" (I mean the parameter created in Oracle Reports was really as Character in datatype property) then I manipulate them in my SQL to convert that "date" into real date using TO_DATE function. Usually I use DD-MM-YYYY as my date format.
    Hope this help.

    Hello friends at www.oracle.com,
    when I sent some informations to Reports, one of these informations was a date field. Here, the format mask may vary from one computer to another - some computers here are using american date format; however, my computer was using brazilian date format.
    The fact is that I was sending date information to Reports using the mask dd/mm/yyyy, and Reports (in the computer that uses american date format) couldn't recognize it, stating that I was sending an invalid month. So I had to change my date information to dd-mon-yyyy and Reports could run in the other computer, but doesn't run here anymore - fact that obligated me to change my date format to american format.
    Is there any way for me to use a date format mask that's valid to all computers here? If other computers - with other format masks - meet the same problem, the use of this program may become something very complicated.
    Thanks for all answers,
    Franklin Gongalves Jr.

    Hi,
    We have a daily data load to ODS and then to the CUBE. Yesterday what happened is that the load to ODS has been taken place for 140 times and the data is not activated in the ODS. We have deleted the requests from the ODS and did the manual load to ODS and activated successfully. My question is that what causes this job to repeat such many number of times. The jobs log is as follows.
