How do I capturing the date and time settings from my camcorder footage to my pc when editing video's?

Question

I am very new to video editing and I have just figured out how to capture footage from my camcorder to my pc. When I do this however, the time and date settings from the footage is lost. It's a canon camcorder and I have tried with pinnacle and ulead. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You haven't said what sort of camcorder you're using - only MiniDV includes a date / time stamp.  Even then, conventional editors can't do anything with it - you need a special app like  DVDate to make it visible.

Answer 2

try sub-title in Ulead or Pinnacle during edit... am afraid date/time stamping applies to stills.
