Yes, it's in the Media Pool details window under Date/Time Stamp.

Well . .. Spot and Gary are both correct . . No you can't display it on the T/L - if that's what you want - yes? And yes the timestamp is available for you to search for. You don't say what you want the DAte/Time stamp for? Depositions? Or what?

I've got a "funky" way around this! Supposing you didn't capture, to tape, when filming the Time / Date VISIBLY on the footage - yes? Now you want to have this info running ON the footage. Welll . . . guys here will not like what I'm going to suggest, but I had to get a "draft" of 3 hours of various talking heads to my client so he could then "select" by noting the T/C and or DATE/time. So what I did was to play the miniDV tapes via a VHS VCR - said they weren't gonna like this - on which the T/C and date stamp appeared. Now I've got a VHS tape - rough - to hand over to my client. Good! . . .So .. what I could then have done was to Capture back this VHS to Veags and there I would have got a Date and Time within the video. As it happens before I handed over the VHS I did a 3-hour BIG DV tape copy for my own reference too! - Clients? Yah gotta luv 'em!

Anyways, I can DISPLAY on my monitor the Date/Time, but I can't get this to travel the 12" to my firwire IN to Vegas. Maybe I need to shorten it to .. say . .4"? :)

So, what are you actually wanting to achieve?

Grazie

How can I set Vegas to show the original timecode from my DV tape ?

There are several places where you can see the original timecode in Vegas...
• You can see the original timecode in the Trimmer, as long as the time format is set properly.
• You can choose to display the source timecode in events (Options-->Preferences-->Video)
• You can add a Timecode filter to the media in the Media Pool to burn it onto the output frame (Media FX-->Timecode)
• You can see the start timecode on the Media Properties window
• You can view it on the Edit Details window when viewing the 'Events' list

You can see it in the Media Pool when the view is set to Details

It's not the timecode which is discussed here. It's the datacode. Quite different but also available in the Detail View of the MediaPool. :-)
It needs further tools to have that datacode burnt into the video.

Can I add that some cameras (at least the PD150) records a whole lor more data, just about every camera setting. To date the only thing I can find that'' display that data is the camera itself.
Bob.

I should have been more clear in my response. You can't access the information to have it stamp on the vid like T/C can. That's what most of the third party tools can do for you, is stamp the cam information on the frame much like you see it in your menu window.

Tinle:
A bit different matter, but You'll probably solve it in a second.
I somehow added the timecode display to my video tracks (not Options-->Preferences-->Video) ut mediaFX, and somehow can' remove ut.
It was men only for a subclip on a separate track, but after deleting that track, it' all over the project.
How do I get rid of it?
Here is another one if you donT mind: How do I double the speed of a subclip?
Thanks!

It would be very useful if the Media Pool details could also be exported (say to Excel) as can be done with Edit Details.

Since Vegas can display the timecode, via the timecode fX, it would be simple, I assume, to add the ability to display date, time, or both, via the same fX plugin. I would like to see this in a future release.

However, I think it would be even MORE useful to have one additional feature. If you have ever used the date/time button on your remote when playing back a DV tape, you know how incredibly useful it is to momentarily display this information to remember when something was shot (assuming, of course, you set the clock on your camcorder correctly). What I would like, in addition to the fX, is the ability for Vegas to export the date and time, at set intervals, a subtitle file that could be picked up by DVDA and used to create a subtitle that would give you the same ability, during playback, to display the date and time information temporarily. I don't think a DVD subtitle can be updated every frame, so there would be some limitation to this approach, but I like the idea of letting the user, from the DVD, be able to turn this information on and off.

Of course to really make this work, Sony would also have to change the way Vegas renders date and time information when you render back to a new AVI. Currently, the current date and time is put into the AVI file, even if you are doing cuts-only, and the AVI is not otherwise touched. I was surprised to find this out recently. It means that the AVI files are actually not simply copied back, unaltered, to your tape when you haven't altered them in any way.

What I have proposed to Sony before is that they leave the date/time alone when the AVI hasn't been altered. If the rendered AVI is the result of the combination of many tracks (which is of course usually the case), then you should be able to specify a "master" track. The date and time of the AVI file on this track will be used to set the date/time information in the rendered AVI file. If no master is specified, then Vegas works the way it does now. If there is a gap in the master track, then the date/time information would be calculated from the last date/time on the master until the point at which there is video on the master track again.

Just a thought.

OOOOh and what if it could display the whole data code info. ie: exposeure, iris etc.
I'm doing a lot of shots with my new Cam and not just setting for correct settings but expirementing with "pushing" others. Plus just to see the dif. in DOF at incremental stops.
I'd love to see that in Vegas. Drool......
