I looked at the exif date and notice that under "Creation Date : 2020:07:11 20:24:51 -04:00" there is a minus 04:00.Īccording to the spec for video timestamps, they're supposed to be set to UTC. QuoteDespite the error it did change the time stamp shown in Finder but the time was off by 4 hours. In a MOV file, that might be something like an embedded gps track. It's simply letting you know that exiftool might not have extracted all the data. MOV files I got the following error message: "Warning: The ExtractEmbedded option may find more tags in the media data - IMG_7264.MOV I'm just guessing with this command since I don't use a Mac and on't know what tags you are actually editing.Įxiftool '-FileCreateDate You should be able to do this with just exiftool (see Common Mistake #3). I have used the following command to change the dates shown in Finder to match the date in the exif data.įor f in * do SetFile -d "$(exiftool -p '$CreateDate' -d '%m/%d/%Y %T' "$" done Photos and videos exported from photos for Mac show the date the file was exported in Mac Finder.
