Hi,

 

I don't believe so. As far as I know MX can only add the time of the current video. So every video on your timeline would start at 00:00:00:00.

Assuming your movie camera or digicam has captured the data (I'm not sure if all of them do so), you could use external software to add it, before importing it to MEP. There are many. The first one I found with a google search was:
http://www.videohelp.com/software/Visual-DV-Time-Stamp

Or, if it's for only occasional use, try capturing some footage of a real digital clock, set appropriately. Or a  virtual clock. Providing you're not working with lots of short clips (each of which would need its real-life start time to be set on the supplementary clock) then this would probably be workable.

Thanks Terry, good suggestions but they won't work for my purposes. I will be shooting legal depositions and I was hoping that I could use MEP to ingest the video off my card and then burn it to dvd. Outside applications of time/date stamp will invalidate the video from a legal standpoint.

But if I understand the last part of your response then the most current version of MEP will support this feature. Is this correct?

You must have seen my post before I edited it a bit later, because I'm not confident about that. MEP 2014 doesn't look as if it has the capability to extract the date/time stamp. Hopefully an MEP 2015 user can respond?

Further edit: But maybe I've misunderstood your problem. Does your camera itself embed this in the source clip, as I gather some do?

I've also just remembered that we discussed timestamps (although in a rather different context) in this thread:

http://www.magix.info/us/can-i-add-a-running-timestamp-to-the-time.knowledge.1036719.html

Still hoping we might hear from an MEP 2015 user on whether these features have been improved.

Has Magix added this feature of the running time and date stamp on the newest version of MEP 2017 yet (extracted from the embedded memory)? That would be very useful for documentary videos.

Hi

MEP Premium (2017) has the following timecodes available

 

Please do not resurrect old topics, this one is nearly 4 years old.
