  • Workaround to display creation date for clip?

    Posted by Trevor Asquerthian on February 5, 2011 at 6:34 pm

    Someone clever must have figured out how to get creation date metadata from QT file into one of the columns in FCP…

    Is there an automator workflow? I can’t figure out how to do it with macros because I can’t access the date in a QT file from a keystroke…

    Hi Andreas

    Looks like it could do. It borked on a folder of H264 clips (just crashed out). I’ve just tried it on a folder with only 1 SD_DV clip in it, which I gave a reel name of ‘test’ before running auxtc on it.

    The resultant xml, when imported to FCP, reports

    “Tue, Feb 8, 2011, 21:43 – Errors Found Importing t.xml
    : Unable to attach specified media file to new clip.”

    The ‘media offline’ clip reports it’s reel as 20110208 (rather than test) – matching the aux1 and aux2 reels.

    It did work on a different clip though….

    I’ll play around some more if I can find some proper media.
