How to get correct creation date to show correctly in premiere pro for clips?

Here I've added the Date and Date Created field, and you see the difference to Date Modified

It's really a Windows issue. Each file has a bunch of date fields, I remove the 'Date' field from Windows Explorer and use the Date Modified field, which give 'correct' info. Right-click the field name bar and select "More" and type quick 'Date' and you will see all the available date fields. Like I said, I use Date Modified.

How do you get premiere pro to show the correct date created metadata on clips?

I see similar issues with Apple ProRes files created by Premiere Pro, inside Premiere Pro and in Windows Explorer.

Hello Default etc.,

Previous discussion.

This is seems like poor implementatin of basic functionality that comes up with users again and again.

" different makers use one of the four or five different Date/Time fields as their "creation" field"

If this is, indeed, the problem it seems that an obvious way to address it is have an import setting, user changable, that points to a selectable metadata source as "creation date." The metadata implementation is pretty clumsy as is, this would be a small improvement.

Neil, I'm curous how you would use the Metadata workspace (by which you mean the metadata panel? or the metadata dialog?) to address this.

R.

I've heard the engineers talk about this. As that information you're having issue with will vary by camera/device or program creating the media.

Why? Because different makers use one of the four or five different Date/Time fields as their "creation" field. So the devs use the one that originally was meant to be used for the actual creation date, and sometimes the camera/device/maker use that and you get the 'right' date/time from those image makers.

It would be nice if we could reset that date easier. There are two main ways of 'fixing' this, one uses Bridge to manually change the field contents for Date so that they show correctly in Premiere. The other is to use the Metadata workspace in Premiere to do the same thing.

In a lot of professional workflows, after the DIT or DP has passed the files on, renaming is a huge no-no. So this sort of thing needs to be hashed out before you start shooting if possible.
