Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
In Final Cut is there any way to add a time stamp, like what you get on a consumer camcorder? The customer wants the date and time to show on the final video. The time and date was not recorded when I recorded the event.

If it was not recorded as a time stamp when the event was recorded on the camcorder, then basically the answer is "No" ... you cannot add it. Even if you could add one, it sort of defeats the purpose of a time stamp ... to show when the actual recording took place. Best wishes,

Thanks for your help, Russ. Much appreciated.
Thanks, again, Russ. It is working nicely via option #1 that you sent. I would like to try the other options as well. However, the link for the second option does not connect to any article. Could you please repost that one? Thanks.

Use iMovie.
Drop a clip on a Project and then open the Title Bar and Drag and Drop the Date/Time Tittle over the clip.
Beware of some problems displaying the correct time due to your Mac's timezone options. I'm currently in -5 GMT and with the 9.0.6 version the Date/Time Tittle will substract 5 hours from the original time. Older versions didn't have that problem.
Also beware of a mobile phone issues. Iphone / Android will write the date and time of its video files when the file ends so you need to substract the lenght of the clip from the time shown on the file.
Hope this helps
add time stamp in Final Cut?
