Video capture time not present

In LR 4 beta, I can't find the capture time of videos that I have taken. The time doesn't appear in grid view, when I hover over the image, or in the EXIF data. The videos all show, in grid view, a capture time of 12/31/1979 11:00:00 PM. Am I doing something wrong to hide this information? I know it's there someplace because when I export videos and use YYYYMMDD in the file naming template, the correct date (and time with the time templates included) is written in the file name. Thanks.

I think there are two long-standing issues causing your symptoms:
- LR doesn't read video metadata, including capture time.
- LR behaves quite inconsistently with images and videos for which it doesn't have an explicit capture time, sometimes using the file's date-created and sometimes using date-modified:

I suggest adding your comments and vote to that thread in the feedback forum (the feedback forum is where Adobe wants product feedback and bugs reported).

  • Canon S100 Photo Capture Time Correct, but Video Capture Time Is Wrong

    I have a Canon S100 and just started importing photos and video into my LR 4.3 catalog. I convert RAW to DNG, and the Capture Time on the photos in LR is correct. However, the video Capture Time is shifted forward exactly 8 hours. I know how to correct the video Capture Time, but is there anything I can do to stop this from happening in the first place?
    I looked at what the metadata looks like in Bridge.
    PHOTO:
    Date Created = Correct Capture Time
    Date File Modified = The time I imported the file into LR.
    VIDEO:
    Date Created = Capture Time + 8 hours
    Date File Modified = Correct Capture Time
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

    In general, LR doesn't know how to read video metadata.  It uses the file's date-modified (as set by the operating system) for filtering, sorting, and pre-populating the Metadata > Edit Capture Time dialog, but it uses the file's date-created (as set by the operating system) to display in the grid view.
    So you might look for a file utility that lets you set the file's date-created to be the same as the file's date-modified (note that on Windows, at least, copying a file changes the date-created but preserves the date-modified).

  • PC video capture card - Not Applicable?

    When I was a Comcast analog customer, I purchased a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 video capture card. The unit worked great converting my Media Center PC back into a DVR when my original Dell equipment All-In-Wonder capture card died.
    When I was considering switching to Fios, Andrea S. at Verizon told me that there was software I could download so that my vid-cap card would work. I assume she meant that it would unscramble the signal for viewing or recording. Once Fios was installed, Andrea didn't answer my emails any more and recent inquires to Encore about any other devices (like DCT700 or something) have been fruitless.
    I hate to take no for an answer!
    Isn't there some way for my PC to record Fios video? I would think the most un-elegant solution would be to rent another STB and take the analog output to my PC but then I couldn't program channel changes, etc. There must be something out there that I'm missing.

    Any PC card with a QAM tuner can record the SD and HD locals (and music channels) from Verizon FiOS.  Other digital channels such as USA, TNT, SciFi, FX, ESPN, and HBO cannot be tuned because they are encrypted.
    My favorite PC QAM tuner is the HDHomerun ($160) because it has two ATSC/QAM tuners and excellent, cross-platform software support.  It works very well with Vista Media Center.  If you really want an internal solution, take a look at the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 ($120); this PCIe card has less software support, and may require the Vista Media Center TV pack.  Both of these solutions can record two different SD or HD locals from FiOS at once.  Once again, the QAM tuners in these products can only record unencrypted channels, which consist of channels 1-50 plus the HD locals and music channels.  The Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 also has an s-video input to record the s-video (SD) output from a Verizon set-top box.
    If you want to record high-definition directly from the Motorola HD STB, you could buy the Hauppauge HD PVR ($200).  This is a USB device that connects to your computer; it records the HD component video output and optical audio output from another device (such as the FiOS HD STB) to your computer's hard drive.  That product was used to create this video, as well as most of the high-definition PS3 and Xbox360 gameplay videos on Youtube.  In my experience, this product can be a bit buggy, especially when recording Dolby Digital.  It is more reliable if you will settle for stereo sound.  Picture quality is better than you see in the Youtube videos -- Youtube recompresses and degrades quality -- but not quite as good the original output.
    When I want a program on my computer, I simply download the SD/HD recording from my TivoHD's hard drive.  I then edit and/or burn to DVD or Blu-ray disk.  The ability to download recordings directly from the DVR is one of the features unique to TiVo. Screenshot:

  • Edit Capture Time - not working?

    I recently updated my Lightroom to LR 5.3, and since then, I haven't been able to edit the Capture Time on my images. I select METADATA --> Edit Capture Time. This used to bring up another dialog box - now it does nothing. I'm in Library, Grid view. Any suggestions? Is this a problem with this version?
    (side note: when I went to Help, About Adobe Lightroom - to get my current software version, it randomly said "applying preset" to all my images and never brought up a dialog box with the version number. When I did it again, same thing. ??)

    Dorin: I know that the Capture Time/Date in the files themselves are not changing because I check the metadata by looking at the files in Finder, and in Photoshop (View > File Browser and File > File Info).
    No, the file modification date does not change when I do Edit Capture Time, but it
    b does
    change when I do Save to Metadata (but only in the NEF, not in the JPG).
    In LR's Library Module > Metadata palette > EXIF section, all 3 of those date/time fields
    b do
    change per my Edit Capture Time (
    b not
    just the 1st and 3rd fields that you mentioned), all the while no changes on the files themselves (as I've described).
    Supposedly, if "Write date or time changes into proprietary raw files" is selected in Catalog Settings > Metadata > EXIF, then running Metadata > Edit Capture Time
    b should
    change the files to show the corrected Date/Time in the file itself (and thus show up as corrected no matter what app you're viewing it from). This is supposed to be the case, whether the file is a proprietary raw file, jpg, or otherwise. But it ain't happening!

  • Auto-stack by capture time not correct

    Hi,
    I have 28 photographs taken sequentialy but not at same intervals; they are part of a collection. I proceed to select all of them and choose "Stacking-Auto stack by capture time..." from the context menu and choose time between stacks as 0:01:00 (one minute)
    However I find the capture time of photos in any one stack exceed 1 minute!!  For instance, these are the capture times of photos in a single stack:
         8:19:12PM, 8:19:25PM, 8:19:43PM, 8:20:24PM, 8:21:19PM, 8:21:45PM
    We can clearly see that the capture times between members of this stack are not within 1 minute. What can is happening?
    Thanks,
    Juan Dent

    This is a maximum interval setting.  It has nothing to do with the total timespan of the whole sequence. Just, how closely-spaced the individual shots  were. These were less than half a minute apart.
    IOW: how long can pass between one shot and the following one, before that is no longer considered to be part of the same continuing sequence.

  • "Sort: Capture Time" not working in LR 5.2

    I just imported a bunch of photos & videos from my cell phone into LR 5.2.  I noticed that all the .JPGs are at the top of the grid view while all the .MP4s are at the bottom.  They should be interspersed in the grid view because that is the order that I took the photos & videos  AND I have "Sort: Capture Time" selected.  This looks like a bug to me unless someone can tell me what I am doing wrong.

  • JMF Video Capture, output not properly

    hello,
    i'm trying to capture Video using JMStudio. my webcam is Logitech QuickCam IM, and it's detected succesfully by jmregistry. but then when i run jmstudio and start video capturing from logitech webcam, the output is only black and green, and beeping.
    i don't know if anyone has ever experienced this before. what should i do to make it work?
    Thank you.

    Sorry, that last post was misposted. It was supposed to go on a thread where the OP did resolve his problem. Sorry about that!
    If your web cam isn't V4L compliant and only supports V4L2, then it won't work with JMF. Also, if you're using the cross-platform pack instead of the Solaris performance pack, it won't work with JMF.
    Finally, if you're running it as a user with insufficent permissions to access the hardware, it won't work (try running as root just to check this).

  • 5dmk3 video capture info not showing in LR4?

    Used to have a canon 7d, which created a .thm file that held all the capture data info for the video, but now with the 5dmk3 it seems like the thm file is embedded into the video file, but now in lightroom the capture data does not show up any longer:( very useful for me to see atleast what ISO the video file was shot with.
    Any help suggested?
    I have tried downloading directly from memory card into lightroom, an also via a card reader, and also via the EOS utility (like canon recommended) but it makes no difference.
    Jo

    Presenter Video Express (APVE) does not use the theme for the PPT output. If you embed the MP4 in a PPT slide using Presenter, then publish it out it will have the theme wrapper around the PPT content, which contains your APVE video.
    If you want to customize the theme in the APVE you can do that when editing your video in that tool.

  • Video capture does not work Java 1.5 or 1.6

    I could not run jmstudio on 1.5, but on 1.6 I could, and jmregistry says there is a device with a Locator "v4l://0" and jmstudio can display the video. Yet my old program that worked with Java 1.4 can not now capture the video any more, createDataSource(locator) in the code:
    locator = MediaLocator("v4l://0");
    source = javax.media.Manager.createDataSource(locator);
    throws NoDataSourceException, that says something about "Could not configure video device". Is the code bad? Or is there something other broken? JMFHOME is set correctly.

    Where is your jmf.properties file? Do you have the performance pack installed?
    Does JMStudio work. (if you're on linux w/ java 5.0 use: java -Dawt.toolkit=sun.awt.motif.MToolkit JMStudio)
    My bet is that you don't have jmf.properties in your current dir or the camera hasn't been added to your properties.
    Another idea:
    try this before your code:
    try {
        Class.forName("V4LAuto").newInstance();
    } catch(Exception e) {}in order to autodetect the camera.

  • Using FW800 as 'scratch' disk for SD video capture does not work?

    New iMac buyers beware - if you plan to capture video via FW400 (most SD camcorders do), you cannot capture directly to a FW800 disk. Workaround is to capture to your Mac HD first - there is no problem there.
    When my FW800 external disk is mounted and I connect my camcorder via FW400, the FW800 drive keeps unmounting/remounting and is unusable. I noticed on Profiler that iMac groups the firewire devices in the same category (for FW800 and FW400) implying the bandwidth is shared and not independent.
    I should have bought the Mac Pro.
    Any suggestions?

    Looby - yeah, I tried that - works for DV/DVCPRO NTSC (max write of 4MB/sec) but not for uncompressed 8-bit (max 21.52MB/sec) - I drop frames.
    George - Yes, using FCP. Maybe, but even without FCP launched, and my OWC 2 drive external on FW800, when I turn on my camcorder on FW400, the drives unmount/remount continuously. Hmmmm... maybe it's the OWC? See below...
    Noiseboy - Hmmm... interesting. Is your "lacie 250 triple" a single drive or multiple all in one chassis? My OWC is 2 drive RAID chassis configured as two independent drives - maybe that is the problem. I am going to try removing one drive.
    Anyone else buy a FW800/400/USB2 RAID system in hopes to increase thruput? With the OWC I get a whopping 68MB/sec RAID-0 vs. 66MB/sec non-RAID. Bummer. Those advertising people should get what they deserve!
    Thanks everyone!

  • Edit Capture Time XMP vs. EXIF

    Scope:
    - LR 1.4.1 and 2 Beta
    - Any file that is edited using Metadata:Edit Capture Time
    (Note: detail info below may be helpful to those seeking to understand date/time problems/issues with LR and other tools)
    Background:
    LR allows editing/offsetting of image capture time via the Metadata:Edit Capture Time menu option.
    Changing the time in LR alters the following EXIF date/time metadata fields as displayed in LR:
    - Date Time Original
    - Date Time Digitized
    - Date Time
    Writing the LR metadata to the image file via the Metadata:Save Metadata to File command writes the values into the images relevant EXIF and XMP date/time metadata fields.
    Challenge:
    LR writes the correctly edited times into the XMP date/time metadata fields but writes incorrect times into the EXIF date/time metadata fields.
    LR uses XMP date/time metadata fields for its displayed time data, not EXIF date/time metadata fields. As a consequence, the user does not know the EXIF time fields have been incorrectly changed unless they check them in a tool that displays or uses the EXIF date/time metadata fields.
    Solution:
    Use a batch file based on exiftools to copy the LR edited XMP date/times into the EXIF date/time metadata fields.
    Resources:
    - Batch file LR XMP/EXIF date/time bug fixer here - LR-xmpdatetime2exif.bat: http://www.hackneys.com/photos/lr/LR-datetimexmp2exif.bat
    - Batch file arguments file (required) here LR-xmpdatetime2exif.args: http://www.hackneys.com/photos/lr/LR-datetimexmp2exif.args

    - Sample photo file here sample.jpg: http://www.hackneys.com/photos/lr/sample.jpg
    Preparation:
    All batch files require an installed copy of exiftools by Phil Harvey (free) available here: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
    1. Download exiftools windows command line version and rename the file exiftools.exe.
    2. Place the exiftools.exe file in your windows directory or on your system path.
    Utilization
    1. In Lightroom, select the folder containing the photos you need to fix.
    2. In Lightroom, select all the photos you need to fix.
    3. In Lightroom, select Metadata:Save Metadata to File (this step ensures you dont lose any Lightroom specific metadata that has not been embedded in the file).
    4. Using Windows Explorer or another utility, backup your jpg files
    5. Using Windows Explorer copy the LR-xmpdatetime2exif.bat and LR-xmpdatetime2exif.args files to the folder with the jpg files you need to fix.
    6. Using Windows Explorer double click on LR-xmpdatetime2exif.bat
    7. Wait for the batch file to process.
    8. In Lightroom, ensure the photos you just fixed are still selected, if not, re-select them.
    9. In Lightroom, select Metadata:Read Metadata from File (this step ensures that Lightroom has all the revised EXIF date/time metadata loaded).

    This challenge is a subset and another manifestation that LR 1.4 uses the XMP time data fields, not the EXIF fields that other programs use and rely on. There have been numerous posts regarding other manifestations of this problem.
    Most of the confusion relates to several primary factors:
    1. Cameras embed EXIF metadata into photo files. Adobe products, and some others, support XMP metadata, which is not part of the EXIF standard. If a tool was developed prior to XMP, such as Exifer or PSP 9, then that tool has no way to view or edit XMP metadata. If a tool only displays, edits and maintains XMP, such as LR, then the two data sets can become de-coupled for common data points, such as date/time. If a tool relies on the EXIF version of a common data point, such as RoboGEO, but the date/time was edited by a tool that only maintains XMP data, such as LR, then the EXIF dependent tool will be working with out of synch data.
    2. LR, PSE, Bridge, etc. use, either exclusively or primarily, XMP metadata, even though they may label/display it as EXIF. LR, for instance, only displays the XMP date/time values, even though they are labeled EXIF.
    3. The EXIF specification assigns time field names different than those commonly used in various tools when labeling/displaying EXIF time data fields. You will find the very same EXIF date/time field labeled a wide variety of ways in even a handful of tools.
    4. The XMP specification has a namespace area labeled EXIF. Adding to the confusion even more, the XMP-EXIF namespace has date/time field names that duplicate those of EXIF date/time fields.
    As you can see, if you add these four factors together, it is no surprise there is widespread confusion related to photo file date/time in general and LRs handling of it in particular.
