VS8 - how to display clip shot date & time

Post by Xyzzy2 »

Hello!

I have split DV into clips. How can I display date&time when a clip was actually shot?
VS8

TIA

You can see the date and time of original captured DV AVI files by accessing the file's Property dialog. If you render to a new file, that information will not be preserved.

UVS 9 adds the ability to overlay the timecode on top of the video in the Preview window.

Date and time

The only suggestion that I have would be putting in the date and time manually using the title part of video studio.

I finally made the leap and upgraded to VS9 from 8. I haven't seen any mention in the manual of how to have the date/time code displayed as an overlay as you mentioned. I'm interested in this, can you explain.
TIA,
Erock

File -> Preferences -> General -> Display DV Date and Time in Preview Window (or whatever it's called, that's from memory)

In Properties dialog (RMB on clip thumbnail in video library) there is no info about clip creation date. Only on tooltip there is some date displayed, but it is the same for all clips of a DV.

I do not want this info to be overlayed, I just want to know when a clip was shot. I think this info is recorded with DV stream.

Could you check this? There is no such (or similar) option there :(

display dv time

Post by squanix »

hi,

this "display DV time ..." option is only available in UVS 9 and not in 8. in uvs 9, it is in the path that Thoff mentions

erock,

i don't think you can actually use the date and time as text in your overlay track but only to display it in the preview window. however, i don't know if this is what you wanted to know ... hope this helps...
