About, TimeStampVideo

Our method, in full

The timestamp is evidence, so we treat it that way.

Every date and time we burn in is read directly from the original recording's embedded metadata. That is the only source we trust, and we never substitute a guess for it.

Original raw files only. We process the file exactly as it came off the recording device. Re-exports, screen recordings, messenger-compressed copies, and edited versions strip or rewrite the metadata that proves when footage was captured, so they are not accepted as the source of truth.
Read directly from embedded metadata. The burned-in date and time are pulled straight from the capture metadata written by the camera at the moment of recording.
Verified before any processing begins. Each file is checked for that capture metadata first. No verifiable timestamp, no processing.
Never guessed, estimated, or rounded. We do not infer a date or time, type one in on your behalf, or approximate. If we cannot read it from the file, we do not burn it in.
Honest about device limits. Some devices, certain phones in particular, do not preserve the metadata we require, or overwrite it on export. When the verifiable timestamp is absent, we flag the file and tell you why, rather than stamp something that can't be substantiated.
One locked, repeatable method. A single, consistent processing standard produces a uniform, frame-accurate overlay every time, the kind of consistency evidentiary review depends on.

How we compare

Why this beats the alternatives.

On-camera and CCTV burn-in depend on whatever clock the device happened to have set. Generic video tools will stamp whatever a user types in. Neither establishes the timestamp from verifiable evidence.

	TimeStampVideo	On-camera / CCTV burn-in	Generic video software
Source of the timestamp	The file's own capture metadata	Device clock (often unset or wrong)	Manually typed by a user
Verifiable from the original file	Yes	No	No
Refuses to stamp unverifiable footage	Yes, flags & explains	Stamps regardless	Stamps anything entered
Consistent, repeatable output	Yes, one locked method	Varies by device	Varies by operator
Secure closed-loop delivery	Yes	N/A	Varies
Built for evidentiary use	Yes	Not by design	No

Always improving

An industry-leading service that keeps earning the title.

Continuously hardened

We regularly review our processing, encryption, and delivery for gaps to close and improvements to adopt, so the service stays at the front of the field rather than standing still.

Shortest defensible path

We keep the chain between the original file and the finished, stamped video as short and as documented as possible, fewer hands, fewer conversions, cleaner provenance.

Professional by default
