Shooting date is not shown correctly in VideoStudio

[kurir]

I have ONE large 1hr AVI file captured from a DV camcorder. I have used Corel Videostudio to "split by scene", and that works fine, all clips are cpatured. BUT the shooting date for the clips are shown as the same date and time for all clips.

Where can I see the actual shooting date for each clip? I tried to use the old Win Movice maker on a WinXP machine, and here it works fine.

In corel VS I also tried to take one clip in the middle of the file and used the shared function to create an DV AVI file. This file I imported to VideoStudio - and now the date and time for this single clip is right. Unfortunately if I a convert all clips into one single file again I still have the problem.

Hope someone can help

Hi kurir

Welcome to the forums
Sorry for the delay in replying to your post……….

I have just completed a test capture and have no problems with the shooting date displaying correctly.

I also tried capturing with WinDV, then inserted the files to video studio, no problems with the dates

Corel have provided two patches for Video Studio X4, Have you installed the patches.
There is a link at the top of the post Patches & Updates browse for the X4 patches.

I bet you are looking at the properties of the clips in the media pool. The date and time shown there is the date and time the file was modified. Since all the scenes come from the same file, the date and time modified will be the same.

To see the shooting date and time for DV-AVI Scenes, you need to select Settings > Preferences > General ---> Display DV timecode on preview window.

After that, the clips have to be playing back either on the timeline or media pool to see the timecode display in the preview window. The timecode will not display if playback is stopped.
