Hi

Does anyone know if the Replay time code, in and out points is Epoch time as millseconds? Just tried a few and it didnt seem correct?

If not how does it calculate date / time?

Cheers
Ash

Can you share with us what you figured out, or what your solution was? :-) When you talk about Epoch time, it's UNIX format (seconds since January 1st 1970) right?

Ok yeah thats correct for Epoch Time but that wasnt really the solution

For example in one of my Replay XML files I have

<inPoint>7392m00000</inPoint>
<outPoint>7442200000</outPoint>

Because Replay window was showing date and all I could see in the XML file was the above I thought it might be a conversion from Epoch to the current day with some fiddling with FPS.

Could not work it out tho. So pulled the replay clip into Movie Studio and changed the time format to sconds as I figured it must be seconds. Then went to the first one above ignoring all the zeros and there it was 739.200 for in point then went to second one 744.22. Thats correct so for some reason there is a factor of 10 million diff. Not sure why.

So now I can do my thing with FFMPEG and the recording with overlays. Just plug in the data to an FFMPEG wrapper and batch process each in/out point and with a little alignment of the start of the recording should pop out the clips with overlays.
