Motive 1.6 CSV time stamp wrong

[Kathrin]

Hi Naturalpoint,

just downloaded and tried Motive 1.6 beta - I generally enjoy the look of the new CSV export format, but I'm getting a weird time stamp output. For example, I get time stamps from
1445.38811 to 1451.155364 seconds instead of
0 to 5.767 seconds
for a take, or
1626.427073 - 1632.068216 seconds instead of
0 - 5.077s seconds
for another take (these are both takes that were recorded in Motive 1.5).

I get the same time stamps for the same recording if I export multiple times (eg with or without header). Does it export some sort of absolute time for the take instead of the the recording duration of that take?

Cheers,
Kathrin

Hi Kathrin,

When Motive launches it starts a clock. We decided to pull the time from this clock. Customers who shoot several take files in sequence will benefit from this feature.

The time can be easily calculated to display a 0 to X format. However, we will consider starting at 0 if requested by customers. I would like to hear your feedback on this.

Hi there,

Now that I know what it is and that I will get the correct values between 0 and x by subtracting the initial time stamp from all the frames, this doesn't cause a problem to me anymore. I guess it's just a matter of letting people know what's what.

Cheers,
Kathrin
