Date and time stamping on video is the number 1 reason we shoot video. Why can't we do this on our phone?
Ninety-five percent of the PlayStore video time stampers add text to the video after the video is complete, in a second pass. Altering the file after the fact still provides an accurate time on the video picture, but obviously provides an inaccurate date/timestamp on the file's metadata. Further, since the file timestamp varies with what is seen on the video, it's diffiicult to call it reliable evidence.
I've only found a few solutions
1. Android 12
Timestamp Camera Pro $4.99 (2022). Brian Di, the creator, made 6 versions of this program, which is confusing. The versions range from Free to $9.99 for the "Pro Enterprise" edition. Most use retroactive stamping, but this version does real-time.
2. Android 7 (nougat)
Be sure to turn on "System UI Tuner": hold down the gear, not on the dimmer, but more to upper R, until UI Tuner is activated.
The only one I found was Timestamp Camera Pro $3, which retroactively adds the date and time. In Android 7, I could not find a real time
3. other
screen recorder: I found the Xrecorder. Free to install but I upgraded from within the app -- that may have been $5.
stop motion: plenty of tutorials for Stop Motion Studio Pro $4.99 (2022). Eg, this sorta corny Kendra Fleischman video shows the process. She uses a closet shoe rack for her camera stand. Don't forget that half of the work will be "post" on a desk/laptop after taking the file off the phone via USB.
