I have created a video several years ago. Unfortunately I didn't set the project name in FinalCut properly, so the name inside the video (tag) is wrong. This name is shown in Plex when listing the video. Could I use exiftool to change this tag? If yes, how?
Check which tag that app displays:
exiftool -a -G1 -s -n -api LargeFileSupport=1 -api QuickTimeUTC=1 movie.mov
Then change it with something like (Final Cut might have used ItemList instead Keys, other apps might use UserData. Apple's current apps prefer to display Keys):
exiftool -m -P -overwrite_original -Keys:Title='Title' -Keys:DisplayName='Headline' -Keys:Author='Author' -Keys:Keywords='Keywords 1,Keywords 2' -Keys:Description='Description' movie.mov

It's been a very long time since I checked what tags Plex read, but this is what I have in my notes. I'll have to find time to update it.
Plex Media Player| Title | Quicktime:ItemList:Title |
| Genre | Quicktime:ItemList:Genre |
| Studio | Quicktime:ItemList:Copyright |
| Summary | Quicktime:ItemList:LongDescription |
| Cast | Quicktime:ItemList:Artist |
| Sort Title | Quicktime:ItemList:SortName |
Thank you for this! I was having tremendous difficulty figuring out what exif tag was linked to the "Studio" field in Plex. I never would have guessed it was the copyright tag.
