Video time stamp

Anyone know if it's possible to put a time stamp when recording video with the iPhone 4?
I'd like to be able to see the date and time of when the video was recorded, sort of the same way as on a regular camcorder.
Thanks!!

Hi
If You have the original tape and Camera - You turn of the feature on the Camera
and import via an analog/digital converter (or if Your Camera has digital FireWire out)
If You got Your material digitized with date&time stamp. Sorry - only way is to
make this area fuzzy/unsharp = as bad as if it is as it is.
Alternative: If You use iMovie'08 or FinalCut Express or Pro You can enlarge the
picture slightly so that the time&date stamp goes out of the viewable area.
But still often a bad solution.
Not even Pro companies as ABC and shows like AFV can magically erase this.
Recommendation: Make a new digital copy but this time with the time&date stamp
turned off. Absolutely the most pro-approach.

Dv video time stamp with analog input

Hi,
I have a dv video which I want to time stamp with a analog input. For the video, which is dv brought into the computer with ieee1394, LabView calls up a C++ program which then stores the video. Simultaneously, in the program which calls up the C++, an analog signal is also stored (seperately). I know it sounds tricky as well as messy but this is the best we've been able to work out, given the uncorroperative nature of LabView with dv camera. Does anyone have suggections for time stamping these two signals so that I know exactly where in the video the analog signal occurs? The PCI board we use is the NI 6014, which I know is timestamp capable, but I dont know if it can stamp the video feed since it doesnt come in through the NI card.
All thanks in advance for any help!
Daniel

Daniel,
Does your DV camera have any sort of timing or triggering signals? Without these, it will be virtually impossible to correlate measurements. It is cetainly possible to accurately time an analog input with your DAQ card, but correlating these to the digital video would be extremely difficult. Is this video streaming in real time? Or are you reading it off of an already-recorded tape? If this video is streaming in real time, with an acquisition started in software, I would suggest attempting to start the software DV reading at the same time as your DAQ task. If you do have an external signal that can trigger the video acquisition, then I would suggest using that same signal to start your analog acquisition.
Hope this helps,

How do you date and time stamp pictures and videos using a EOS Rebel T3?

I am needing to utilize date and time stamping on videos and photos in my work. The pictures and videos must display time, a date, and reference number. I have gone through the cd, owner's manuel and software manuel and I am unclear if I can perform this function.

While this is a relatively common feature on point & shoot cameras -- where the photo is thought of as a snapshot to document a memory in a person's life, among DSLR cameras it's not very common (I don't actually know of a DSLR that does this though I don't doubt that it may exist). DSLR users are usually expecting a higher quality image -- so now the image is thought of more like art and less like a snapshot and the date/time in the corner distracts from the image. Also they tend to be more advanced users who would be able to modify the image themselves so they have little need for such a feature.
The camera does record the date & time... but it's in the EXIF data (information recorded into the image file but not displayed).
SO... there are programs that will just do this. You'll need to do a search (I found several but have never tried one so I can't vouch for them). I think there are Photoshop plug-ins that do this (assuming you have Photoshop). These programs allow you to define the info you want printed (including EXIF data such as date/time) and you get to pick the location, font, size, color, etc. and ultimately the location on the image where you'd like the info displayed. They then add the info visibly onto the image for you and most support "batch" use (e.g. drop a whole folder of images on it and they'll do them all.)

How to View Date time stamp on Video

I am importing AVHD video into i move 8 and want to have date and time stamp on the video
any ideas on how to set this up?
I am importing video from a card reader.

Three methods:
File>process multiple files>labels. Be sure to uncheck "same as source", or the originals will be overwritten. It is best to work on duplicate files, esp. while learning.
Use the horizontal or vertical type tool to add the information manually to each picture file
If the same information is to be applied to several pictures, e.g. a copyright notice, use of a brush made in PSE is very efficient

How to retrieve media start time stamp on video clips

Premiere Pro CS4 loses the time stamps on all my video clips in the project. Is there a way to retrieve that data.
This usually happens after a crash or freeze up and one has to revert to an auto-saved ppj file.

Thanks for replying.
Timestamp only means time information for media start.
The time information was there for media start on all the clips as they
were captured but when I had to restart the project and the clips were
imported into a different project they disappeared.
What is Scenalyzer?

How to add a time stamp to a video edited in Photoshop CC?

Hello fine ppl of Adobe communities.
I was wondering how can you add a time stamp to a video when edited in PS CC, is it possible at all? I dont have premier but I do have PS and LR.
Appreciate any help.
thanks

If you use File > Place Embedded, you'll be able to resize and place (move, rotate, etc.) images as appropriate in your open document with the added bonus of having them added as Smart Objects. (Note that using Smart Objects can greatly increase the file size of your document. Just be aware.)
File > Place Embedded > resize and place (hold down Shift to constrain proportion as you resize) > confirm by clicking the checkmark or "commit" icon.
For layers that already exist, right-click the layer in the Layers panel > Convert to Smart Object.

Adding a 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

PrE lacks the TimeCode Effect (unless it has been added in PrE 10?), that both PrPro and Adobe After Effects has. However, even that Effect does not do date/time, just Runtime TimeCode, but with some display alternatives.
There are two programs called DVDate. One is/was freeware, and the other was inexpensive shareware. I do not have the two links handy, but believe that either will do what the user wishes.
I know that in the past, one valued contributor, Neale, has posted the links, and has also given the details of what each of the programs can, and cannot do. Maybe he'll drop by this thread, and fill in the blanks that I am leaving here.
Good luck,
Hunt

Video and photo date&time stamp (nokia 5800)

Hi,
i have the nokia 5800 and i'm having a strange problem.
i had to format my memory card so i copied everything to my pc, and after i formated it i copied everything back to the memory card.
now if i open an image and check to see the date it's showing me the date and time i copied the file back to the memory card instead of the date&time i took the image.
same thing with the videos.
i have the same photos in my pc and when i check the exif data i can see the date when i took the photo.
i opened the videos with "media player classic" and i looked for the "media info", and i can see there when the video was made but it's in UTC time.
how can i make the phone read the correct time when the images and videos were taken?
Thanks for any help,
Erez.

Hi Sach1n
Unfortunately that is not feasible but you can view the EXIF Data on the 5800XM with a python application as per screenshot here:http://i35.tinypic.com/ht9ovs.jpg

How to get time stamp on Videos?

Hi,
When I tape only one video per day I also get the time stamp of that video. When I tape more than one, it does not show the time anymore.
How do I get the time stamp then???

Eurowizard wrote:
Thanks for your answer.
When I enter the movies for a particular day, *I only see the length of the movie (not the time it was taped)*... I did the reset but this also did not help... hmm
Actually, you were correct all along & I was wrong. I took 5 videos today. No "time" stamp. Just the length of movie taped and when I moved the wheel clockwise & counter clockwise the month, day & year show up but not the time. hmm......
I checked all my old videos that I removed from my iPod Nano & noticed that I typed the time the videos were taken along with the date within the suffix.

Video start and media end time stamps get lost

Premiere Pro CS4 is not keeping the tape's media start and end times as well as the Video In and Out Points.
It never was a problem with earlier versions but this began the on the very first use of CS4.
I use these time stamps to keep track of the chronilogical order of the clips.
Anyone ever had this problem.
Thanks

This problem occurs after mini DV tapes have been loaded in. It has happened with both my older panasonic AG-DVC30 and my newer AG DVX100.
It is really annoying because I count on using those time stamps to coordinate the addition to the clips into the editor.
It seems that I've lost some of the time stamps after they have all been loaded in. Like when I start up Premiere Pro CS4 a second time on the, the next day, I find even more of the time stamps missing, over in the project pane. I probably should carefully document that to be sure. Could be significant in the troubleshooting process.

I am having trouble reading a time stamp on a video using OCR

I am trying to read a time stamp that is overlaid on a video, using OCR software, but it will not read it correctly I've tried the OCR Preproccessing and Recognition Config VI's and neither have been able to correct to problem I would appreciate some help

In my experience, it is very important that the contrast not only be
very good but also that the characters can be easily distinguished
from the background and that the characters are generally repeatable
and unique. I've had problems with characters "smearing" into the
background so that the OCR can't tell where the background ends and
the character begins.
Beyond the standard NI OCR stuff, you can use a database to map
incorrect whole words to correct whole ones in OCR but this only works
when there is a set of unique words that are significantly different
from each other. It doesn't work on numbers since any number is
generally as likely as any other.
It may be worthwhile to invest in higher quality acquisition equipment
to improve the image quality. If your video source itself is poor
quality, then it won't matter though.

Aperture 3.4.3 video time off by 1 hour

Imported videos from a Canon Vixia 301M are ahead by one hour from the correct time. Contacted Canon support and the time stamp on the videos is correct. After importing, stills taken have the correct time but videos are ahead by 1 hour. Checked import settings time zones and they are both set to the same zone that I am in.

Richard,
For some cameras Aperture cannot recognize the correct time zone, ie, if the camera has a secondary date in the "Travelling" settings.
In that case Aperture assumes the time zone of the image files or videos is the system time. If your camera has been set to a time zone different from the time zone setting of your mac, you need to tell Aperture the correct time zone the camera has been set to in the Import settings when importing: In the "Time zone" brick set the camera time and the actual time to the zones you want: "camera time" (the time zone your camera was set to when taking the pictures) and "actual time" the time zone that should have been used.
You also can correct the timezone setting afterwards for all of them at once with
Metadata > Batch Change > Adjust Time Zone (not "Adjust date and time" - that will change the actual time settings and not Aperture's interpretation of the time).
Regards
Léonie
P.S. My Canon HG10 videos also import with a shifted Time Stamp. Now I don't bother wit the "Travel" setting in the camera any longer and have a default setting time zone correction in the Import panel.

Add time stamp in Final Cut?

In Final Cut is there any way to add a time stamp, like what you get on a consumer camcorder? The customer wants the date and time to show on the final video. The time and date was not recorded when I recorded the event.

In the mean time, to get this project done, it looks like I'm editing 60 tiny titles for my one hour video.
I'm not expert in Motion, but if you already have it, give yourself 5-10 minutes to try and publish the Time Date generator. The basic steps are (I'm doing this from memory so the names of things might be wrong):
1. Sart up Motion and choose a new FCPX Generator template project. Set the project settings that match your own project settings in FCPX.
2. Drag the Time Date Generator into the project.
3. Publish all the parameters you might want to change in FCPXby right clicking on them and selecting publish parameter.
4. Save the project. this will ask you for a name and category, which once saved, automatically appear in FCPX.
5. Drag that one new generator to your project, change the duration to fill your whole timeline, and set the parameters to your starting date/time.
