Visual DV Time Stamp

Visual DV Time Stamp is a small software application whose purpose is to help you embed date and time stamps within DV AVI video files. The utility is able to extract the time codes from DV AVI files and stamp them onto the clips.

Clean feature lineup

The tool sports a straightforward GUI that manages to gather all configuration settings in a single panel without looking crowded. A help manual is included in the package in case you cannot decode the program’s settings on your own.
You can preview the clips directly in the main panel, seek for a position in the video frames, move forward by a certain number of frames, refresh the current video, as well as move to the next or previous marked frame.

Configuration settings

Visual DV Time Stamp offers you the possibility to create a list with the files that you want to process. Batch actions are on the feature list for helping you stamp multiple video files at the same time.
When it comes to date and time stamp settings, you are given the freedom to alter the text in terms of font, font style and size, outline the text, and modify the brightness and transparency of the text.
What’s more, the application lets you move the stamps up, down, left or right on the video or manually input the exact x and y coordinates. You can stamp all frames or show the date/time text at a custom number of seconds, apply fading in and out effects, as well as delay the stamps.
Other important configuration settings worth being mentioned enable you to choose the saving directory, turn off the computer at the end of the job, and check out logs.
