Title: exif in .mov file
Post by: Alan Clifford on August 18, 2020, 06:57:08 AM

Query about a fle with

[File]          MIME Type                       : video/quicktime
[QuickTime]     Major Brand                     : Apple QuickTime (.MOV/QT)

I'm just wondering why exiftool will create offsettimeoriginal but not gpsaltitude to the .mov file (.jpg file done as well to check the command is correct). There is already some exif in the .mov file.

Secondly, if I just throw quicktime:datetimeoriginal at a .jpg using the API, will that be OK and exiftool will cope or do I need to test for the file type?

cellini:SouthAfrica.FebMar alan$ exiftool -a -G -exif:dto -exif:gpsaltitude -exif:offsettimeoriginal temp.mov temp.jpg

Code Select

======== temp.mov
[EXIF]          Date/Time Original              : 2020:03:19 15:17:08
======== temp.jpg
[EXIF]          Date/Time Original              : 2020:02:29 10:57:26
[EXIF]          GPS Altitude                    : 7.610606061 m
[EXIF]          Offset Time Original            : +02:00

I haven't responded for a while because I will need to do some work checking various samples to be able to answer this.

QuoteSecondly, if I just throw quicktime:datetimeoriginal at a .jpg using the API, will that be OK and exiftool will cope or do I need to test for the file type?

ExifTool will handle it.

That was the expected answer. :)
