imovie is displaying incorrect date and time after system update

Your issue has come up at least once before on this forum. I don't know if a solution was found.

I suggest that you try restarting your computer and opening iMovie while holding down the Option and Command keys, and then selecting to delete preferences in the box that appears. Sometimes that cures glitches.

If that doesn't work try opening iMovie in a different or new user account. You can use the Guest account on your Mac for this purpose.

Also, check to make sure that you have the correct time zone on your clip.

All else failing, consider a re-download of iMovie .

A couple of days ago Apple released iMovie version 10.1.8. Try updating to that and see if the date and time are correct.

Earlier today I was talking to an apple senior technician, he said to that "it probably normal iMovie behave".

after some explanations that this is a new "bug" and before the 10.1.7. version it wasn't working that way, he agreed to check this issue with programming department.

on the meanwhile there is no solution but downgrade your iMovie version with time machine if did a backup.

he promised me an answer on Monday. ill keep you updated.

I have a solution!!

on the meanwhile until apple will solve that issue- here is what you should do:

iMovie 10.1.7 timestamp issue - YouTube

I got in contact with Support and found my Sony HDR-cx 405 according to them was incompatible, although, I've using it for over 6 months and only Sony products prior. So off to the store I go and buy the latest Sony HDR-CX 440 and same problem. Incompatible, Off to buy a compatible Panasonic HC-V380 (CONFIRMED COMPATIBLE) and still time stamp wrong. Haven't called back but what will they offer? Very frustrating after 4 years of flawless IMOVIE experience, now, with work in immediate jeopardy, due to IMOVIE bugging. Just so frustrating.

If I have ten clips, whatever my date and time stamp on the last clip, will show on all previous clips no matter what day or time it was acquired.

I am having the same problem. I imported some Video and photos that I had captured on my GoPro during the day. The funny thing is that the time and data on the photos was fine, but all the video was 11 hours out.

I have to say the Apple recommendation provided in this thread is terrible, is that the best you can do?

Hi, any luck with this issue I have the same issue - my clips are changing to the date and time of import rather then the date/time of recording.

Did you find a solution because after 600.00 later for new cameras it's still an issue

When (IF!) is does get fixed I hope that we don't have to go back an remove all of those manual adjustments!

tried that also, that version have this bug too

Any remedies?
