For me there is no urgency to this, but I was just curious.

The "exiftool" Application / Re: Add timezone to MOV video ...
Last post by StarGeek - Today at 04:45:38 PMI always feel that writing directly to Time:All is a bad idea because it writes so many tags. Using it with the -wm w is about the only reasonable exception.
And the reason I suggest writing the -OffsetTime* tags over the Canon (and Nikon) specific TimeZone is due to the interaction with the DaylightSavings tag. TimeZone is supposed to contain the base time zone without regards to any possible Daylight Savings time change. For example, for Eastern time zone, it should always remain set at -05:00. The DaylightSavings is the indicator for when the camera is supposed to add an hour or not.

Last post by wywh - Today at 04:01:02 PMQuote from: StarGeek on Today at 11:21:25 AMI would suggest also including the OffsetTime* tags
That is a good point although there is already Canon:TimeZone tag.
...as I said, I ignore these Canon thumbnail tags but just for fun I experimented...
This nicely edits additional Canon movie thumbnail TimeZone, TimeZoneCity, and DaylightSavings tags as well as ExifIFD:DateTimeOriginal, CreateDate, and IFD0:ModifyDate:

Newbies / Re: Help wih renaming files
Last post by StarGeek - Today at 11:27:10 AMNo, I do not believe there is a way to automatically start the count based upon the counter of a previously existing file. You would need a script to figure out what the highest number in the folder was and then pass that to exiftool, and this would need to be done separately for each folder.
The easiest thing to do would be to copy the new files normally and then run a second pass to rename to correct the count.

Good to know that ThumbnailImage is writable in this case, I hadn't paid much attention previously and my quick look over the Tags Names docs was inconclusive.
But I would suggest also including the OffsetTime* tags, e.g. '-OffsetTime*=+02:00'

The "exiftool" Application / Re: Add timezone to MOV video ...
Last post by wywh - Today at 02:56:51 AMI'd advise you to just ignore timestamps in Canon ThumbnailImage tags. None of my apps read it (some old GraphicConverter version did but not anymore).
If it causes trouble, you might delete it:
Or write time zone to the Keys tag which overrides other movie date tags in Apple's apps (other OSs might prefer UserData:DateTimeOriginal instead Keys: CreationDate):
Or write UTC time for that location also to QuickTime:CreateDate etc if it is different from the computer's time zone (you can omit Keys from the command below because QuickTime:Time:All takes care of it while also automatically adjusting DST):
If you insist, you can clumsily edit the Canon thumbnail date:
There is no standard for embedding EXIF data in a movie but that has not stopped a lot of camera makers from forcing it into the file. If that kind of EXIF is inside an embedded ThumbnailImage (like in some Canon models), it might be edited or deleted if some app erroneously grabs it. The maker notes in most Canon movies are stored inside the ThumbnailImage, which is writable, so you can do something like this (it is 3 commands: the first to extract the thumbnail, the second to add metadata to the thumbnail, and the third to write the thumbnail back into the video):
