Lay Out Tracks Using Media Date/Time Stamp
I am trying to synchronize files from Canon 5D using option Lay Out Tracks Using Media Date/Time Stamp but I am getting an error: “Some media did not have valid offset information and were skipped”.
It’s probably, because in project media window there is nothing under the column “Date/Time Stamp”.
Why SV12 can’t read date/time stamp from media files?
I was looking at various forums for some time and there seems to be a problem with no solution yet.

This is a paragraph from Sony article:
If you don’t have the luxury of an external timecode
generator, you can still help Vegas Pro software make your syncing task easier by synchronizing the time stamps on each camera before you shoot. If you’ve done this, add your media to the timeline, select each event that you want to synchronize, and choose Tools | Multicamera | Lay Out Tracks Using Media Date/Time Stamp . This method is a little less exact than using generated timecode because each camera’s time setting could be slightly off, but it’ll get you very close and you can manually make any minor adjustments that you need afterwards.Cool… but when I import files from Canon 5D, the time stamp column in project media is empty and the option doesnt work.

Vegas can read timecode/datetime information from many formats, but not from Canon cameras (as far as I know). You can give them a suggestion.

Heh, I’ve just dropped some MTS files from Sony HDV and there is no Date/Time Stamp in project media. It’s Sony’s ignorance or what?
