Date and Timestamp Videos

How do I insert a date and time stamp on an IOS video that has already been created?

I am aware of the timestamp camera and use it all the time, however I did not use it on one occasion in which I need a timestamp.

iPhone SE, iOS 15

Greetings ColeSecurityServices, 


Are you looking to edit a video using a video editing program or even the Photos app to include a text box/stamp on the video? Or are you looking to add it to the video’s metadata? 


The more information you’re able to provide the better focused we can be on our guidance. 

Also, let us know which device you’re editing the videos on and which app you’re using. 


Thanks.

We appreciate you sharing these details, ColeSecurityServices,


The iOS doesn't include a feature which would allow you to timestamp your videos as you record them. If you'd like to review your iPhone video features, you can do so here: Record videos with your iPhone camera - Apple Support

"Record a video

  1. Open Camera, then select Video mode.
  2. Tap the Record button or press either volume button to start recording. While recording, you can do the following:
    • Press the white Shutter button to snap a still photo.
    • Pinch the screen to zoom in and out.
    • For a more precise zoom on models with Dual and Triple camera systems, touch and hold 1x, then drag the slider to the left.
  1. Tap the Record button or press either volume button to stop recording.

By default, video records at 30 frames per second (fps). Depending on your model, you can choose other frame rates and video resolution settings in Settings  > Camera > Record Video. Faster frame rates and higher resolutions result in larger video files."


There may be third party apps which allow you to record timestamped videos on your iPhone in the App Store: Download apps and games on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Take care!
