display metadata
I am outputting a time-lapse movie composed of 240 .jpg stills. The .jpgs were taken on a Nikon D200 and were imported into AE as a jpg sequence. I want to overlay a time/date stamp over the movie to show the actual time of exposure. I could use the file creation date, exif data, photo info, whatever.
Basically as it’s running it’s going to be moving too fast to read, but if you scrub through the movie and stop on a particular frame, you’ll be able to see when the shot was taken.
What filter/effect could I use to do this? Can I do it with footage imported as a jpg seq?
Thanks in advance for you help.

There is no way that I know of to extract metadata from jpegs in After Effects. Then there is the problem of grabbing that info and filling a text filter or text layer with it properly parsed and delimited.
I can’t even get Bridge to superimpose metadata.
Hope you get some other responses but this is the first time I recall the topic ever coming up. There may or may not be a script out there someplace that will do this for you; it sounds possible. You might open the extensive scripting documentation in the online help system and see if you want to tackle it yourself.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
