Is there a way to use clip's Date and Hour metadata in title gen in FCP X or Motion?

Hi(Bonjour)!

I've have to export a bunch of clips to compressor. Is there an easy way to use Date and Hour metadata from each clip in a title generator in FCP? Can I do that in Motion?

Thank you !

Does combining video clips in iMovie 10.1 remove all geotag information? I took 10 video clips of a visit to a museum in Taiwan using my iPhone. Each of the video clips has the date, time, and location captured. I then tried to merge the 10 video clips into a single clip using iMovie 10.1. The combined clip, however, has lost all of the information of the date, time, and location. Is this the expected behaviour? Is there any way to retain the date, time, and geotag information in the combined clip? How can I combine the clips without losing this information?

How to get Text source point to meta data in Apple Motion? Hi, I'm trying to pull frame rate from metadata of a clip but can't seem to find a way to do it in Apple Motion (yet). But when I look at Timecode fx in FPCX, there's a line like "@#$sourceObject_projectOrSourceName" to pull name of the source or project. So I think there must be a way to point that line to a different meta data, right? Do you guys have any idea on where to find the list of codes for this or how to change that line to display source frame rate? Thanks in advance!

iMovie Date/Time Title has the wrong date and time. Trying to edit a video for my friend. Putting together videos of their child's first year by importing the videos from a shared iCloud album. I'm importing them through iMovie through My Media > Shared. (1st screenshot) Every time I try to add the Date/Time title it gives me the date and time I added the files to the project. It's really frustrating as there's so many clips. I see that there's "Adjust Clip Date and Time," but it won't allow me to click it even when I have a clip selected. (second screenshot) I'm really frustrated because I don't want to manually edit every clip as I have three hours of footage. I just updated to the latest software, macOS Big Sur and update iMovie as well to 10.2.1

The Date/Time title grabs the import date and time of the clip under (the start) of the title. Are you looking for an effect that applies the current date/time when it is applied?
