The Shot Info panel in Narrative shows each photo's file and camera details, including its capture time and the folder it's in. You can also use it to change capture times, which is handy when two cameras were set to different times.
How do I open Shot Info?
To open the Shot Info panel, press I or click the info icon in the vertical toolbar on the right.
Shot Info shows a short summary by default. Click Show more to see all the details.
Shot Info also shows the folder the photo is in. If the folder path is cut off, hover over it to see the full path.
How do I change a photo's capture time?
Select the photo, or filter your project to show the photos you want to change.
Open Photo → Change Capture Time from the menu bar, or click the pencil icon next to the capture date or time in Shot Info.
Choose whether to change only the selected photo or every photo in your current filtered view.
Set the new date and time. When you change several photos, Narrative shifts them all by the same amount, so the time gaps between them stay the same.
Use the arrow buttons to preview the new time on different photos.
Click Change Capture Time.
Narrative updates the capture time on every photo you chose.
Note: Changing a capture time doesn't rename the file. To change file names, see Rename your images in bulk.
How do I sync capture times across two cameras?
If you shot with two cameras, or with a second shooter, and the camera clocks didn't match, you can line them up in Narrative. You'll find a moment both cameras captured, then shift one camera's times to match the other.
Step 1: Filter to one camera. Open the filter bar and choose the camera filter. If you can't see it, click the ⋮ menu in the filter bar to add it.
Step 2: Note the time of a key moment. Find a photo of a moment both cameras captured at about the same time, like the kiss in a wedding ceremony. Press I to open Shot Info and note the photo's capture time.
Step 3: Find the same moment on the other camera. Filter to the other camera, find a photo of the same moment and note its file name from the info bar at the bottom.
Step 4: Shift the second camera's times.
Clear your filters.
Open Photo → Change Capture Time.
Choose the camera with the wrong time.
Scroll to the file name you noted, and change its time to the capture time you noted in step 2.
Click Change Capture Time.
Narrative shifts every photo from that camera by the same amount, so both cameras now line up.
The result won't always be perfect to the second, but the two cameras will be within a few seconds of each other.
What is the Shoot Type field in Shot Info?
The Shoot Type field in Shot Info shows the project's shoot type, like Wedding or Event. It's a separate setting and doesn't affect capture times. Learn about Shoot Type Detection.
