"Date created" info is wrong in Premiere

[MaorK]

I'm editing a wedding shot on four cameras, operated by 2 videographers, myself and an additional videographer. When I go over the footage in Explorer, the time of my shots is correct. However, Premiere reads the files as if they were shot 57 minutes later. I think it has to do with the fact that all of my cameras were set to winter clock although it was shot at the summer.

I wouldn't be facing any problem having shot the wedding solely, since all of my cameras have this issue but now i'm facing mixed footage from different parts of the wedding with the second videographer.

I'm looking for an option to either change the Date Created info on all of my files, or a sequence that use the date and time created to compile a timeline with all of the files, and the physical gaps that were between every shot.

Have anyone encountered such a problem?

Stan, I'm already locked up with ice and snow until MARCH at the earliest.

here's an interesting project someone made using nice home computer to edit himself after shooting stuff. It's meant to garner interest in funding an episodic TV type show. Some of the elements can be used in a 'wedding' type story, in my opinion (music, sunsets, pretty shots intermixed with basic 'plot' ( story )) . I'm sorry for mentioning this stuff, as I understand the main thing is to get an adjustment to TIME metadata corrected in this thread.

Notice the compositions and times of day ( lighting, etc.), which helps make it pretty.

After hours of online research, I found the answer !

1) set all camera dates and times the exact same including whether it is daylight savings time or NOT.

This requires a wrist watch.

FIXED !  how cool is that ?  !!!!

Thanks Jim, I can't even imagine shooting a wedding ( or any live event for that matter ) as everything I've done was scripted and so on. It must be extremely pressing ( time wise and prep wise to get the angles and cameras set up etc. )

I still don't see how metadata would help more than renaming files as needed to denote the camera sources ( a,b,c etc.).

But it's not something I've had experience with. Someone asked me to do it once a long time ago (he got the job and wanted to farm it out to me cause he had a schedule conflict ) and it scared me to death and I told the guy I didn't feel confident that I'd do a good job. So I never had the experience.

I imagine you could work in slo mo and inserts and stuff AFTER starting out with sync'd shots ( J and L cutaways ? ) and keep the sound going, but it just seems like a tremendous amount of creative thinking and editing. If I think about sharing that with a client ( edit with input from client from source material review ) it gets even more problematic for me to imagine the ton of work involved to give people stuff they love.

You have my respect and admiration just for having the guts and stamina to do that work !

One example would be the dancing.  My preference would be to edit in the dances in the same sequence as real life.  That means you have to know the proper sequences the dances occurred in.  As no wedding filmmaker writes that down, we rely on camera metadata for that kind of sorting.

My own cameras record time of day timecode, so sorting by that puts everything in the proper sequence.

And yeah, it's challenging work.  Try shooting a scene on set where you have no control over the lighting, setting and action, with but one chance to get the shot or you lose it forever.

Now do that for every shot over a 10 hour day, by yourself, and you've got some idea of what it's like to film weddings.

Holy bleep man,

If you don't know, then you don't know. I too shoot wedding videos for a living. I'm experiencing the same problem with metadats not reading the time correctly. Cameras are set to the exact same time. BUT, Premiere decides to knock an hour off of my A9 vs my A7Riii. Its a PAIN THE ARS to cull. Do you know what cull means? NO, I don't intend on putting everything in order... but it sure is nice to go through my footage in order. I have two cameras on my. One with a wide angle, and one with a long lens. Its helpful to see the two shots next to each other when I'm making my selections. Quit trying to be smater than Maork. I'm 100% sharing his frustration with both Premiere and your answers. Not helpful. I'd love to hear from someone with a real solution.

Well, except you're a year and 2 months to the day late to the conversation. 🙂 There are many file date changers available, you can try some of those. Also, file renamers. This one is excellent and can rename files based on exif info also...

The new Bridge is pretty cool. Check it out and see if that works for you. You can certainly file a bug on User Voice, as well.

Thanks,
