Time stamp on adobe premiere

alearner · Post by **alearner** » Sat Feb 08, 2003 3:50 pm

When exporting directly to DV tape (canon 230) from Adobe Premiere 6.0 the time stamps from the original DV's appear on the exported video tape at each transition. This then prints through on the VCR copies.

However when exporting to file there is no problem. What am I doing wrong!:(

It sounds like it's something in the camera itself... maybe there's some setting you need to turn off?

Yeah me too. I have done that in my early days. Left the timer active during shooting and also the date. Very annoying!

Oooh, nothing worse than leaving the date up on all your footage! Cus chances are it's the wrong date, and they're usually horribly dated computerised-looking dates too!

Last weekend I used a camera from a friend. Shot a scene and then played it back, evrey shoe had the time and date!!!!!! We then had to work out how to turn them both off permanently and reshoot the footage!!!:mad:

Ooh no horrible!!! Really horrible!!! We did that for our first college project, luckily the reshoots were better and we eventually got an A for it!

Check out Gumshoe and Son on http://members.lycos.co.uk/ornsack for more info on that

Thanks. Yep thats what happened with the Hi8 footage - Oops

.

The other with the DV tape is a bit more unusual. The date only shows for a couple of seconds at each transition in Premiere - and only when output to DV tape, not in DiVX or AVI files. Also the date format is different than the one the camera outputs! I'll try the manuals again.

I suppose I could output to DV AVI, take back to premiere then output to tape for back up, or just buy a few more hard disks.

No technology is an exact science i guess:P

Ah, found it there is a 6 second date "feature" on the camera. Fortunatly I don't need to reshoot the footage and can now start to clean up the hard disks. Thanks for the help.

I'm not sure if we really helped, but thanks

Let us know of any future filming happenings.

Yeah keep us informed! My old camera had a 5sec date/time feature, very annoying, so i took the small battery out and problem solved!

They have improved it now Grant. There was a menu to turn it off. So everything is now working smoothly (except the tapes are tangling - where is that guarantee! ).
