Title: How to change Media Create Date, Track Modify Date, and related
Post by: heag on May 25, 2021, 03:21:43 PM

exiftool -AllDates='2021:03:01 20:15:00' video.mp4 works but not for everything. There are at least four entries that do not change using that command.

Please tell me what to put into Terminal for changing these entries, or deleting them.

I tried the Windows GUI and clicked on delete all metadata, but it did not delete these too.

AllDates is a shortcut for DateTimeOriginal, CreateDate, and ModifyDate only. See Shortcut tags page (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/Shortcuts.html) for details.

Alright. And which shortcut for the rest? There is no media and track in the list.

See this thread (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=12444.0). A lot of options are detailed there. Video tags are on the Quicktime tags page (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/QuickTime.html). Make sure you read the forth paragraph with regards to the date/time tags in a video.
