HEVC / MPEG4 / AVCHD / DV / Photo Time Stamp

What these tools do: Extract hidden date/time codes embedded in your video or photo files and burn them visibly onto every frame — so the timestamp survives editing, conversion, and printing.

vHTS — Visual HEVC Time Stamp

Superimposes embedded time codes from HEVC / H.265 video files onto the video. Ideal for 4K footage from iPhones, DJI drones, and modern camcorders. Outputs .mp4 / .MOV with the timestamp permanently visible.

vDTS — Visual DV Time Stamp

Burns date/time from DV camcorder AVI files onto the video with high quality. The timestamp persists through the DVD authoring process. Does not support MPEG-I or MPEG-II files.

vPTS — Visual Photo Time Stamp

Reads EXIF data from JPG photos and superimposes the date/time directly on the image — so the timestamp appears on prints and photo-lab copies. May also work on EXIF-compliant TIF files.

Not sure which tool you need? Check your file extension: .mp4 / .MOV from a recent device → try vHTS (HEVC/H.265) or vMTS (MPEG4). Older camcorder AVCHD files → vATS. DV AVI tapes → vDTS. JPG photos → vPTS. Download a trial first to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
