Focal length data of footage shot on zoom lenses?

Is there any way to tell what focal length a zoom lens was at from looking at your footage?  EXIF data?  any other tricks?

I shoot with zooms and would like to know what focal lengths ended up in the final edit.  (and no, I don't have logs or anything - I shoot completely unplanned home and travel videos, most of the time I'm just trying to capture and anticipate whatever is going on).

I suspect the answer is no, but maybe someone will surprise me and make my day? ???

Magic Lanterm does if you’re using a native Canon lens. 

Is that ML records the focal length, or Canon records the focal length and ML displays it to you?

I was hoping to get it for clips from the XC10 as well as my 700D.

If you shoot with Sony theres a program called Sony Catalst Browse and that program IIRC shows me my focal length and whole bunch of other useful info like the picture profile that was used, color space, bit depth, ISO and more. Not sure if it works with Panasonic or Canon.
