I would like to transfer the GPSCoordinates and/or the GPSPosition from one movie file to another one (on my Mac).
So I execute this:
% exiftool-5.24 -tagsFromFile IMG_7441.MOV -GPSCoordinates IMG_7441.m4v
Warning: Sorry, gpscoordinates is not writable - IMG_7441.MOV
Warning: No writable tags set from IMG_7441.MOV
0 image files updated
1 image files unchanged
% /opt/local/bin/exiftool-5.24 -tagsFromFile IMG_7441.MOV -GPSPosition IMG_7441.m4v
Warning: Sorry, gpsposition is not writable - IMG_7441.MOV
Warning: No writable tags set from IMG_7441.MOV
0 image files updated
1 image files unchanged
Any ideas what I can do?
(I am using version 10.25 of exiftools.)
Any hints will be appreciated.
ExifTool does not have the ability to write the QuickTime GPSCoordinates (see the QuickTime tags documentation (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/QuickTime.html) for a complete list indicating which tags are writable). The best you could do is to write the XMP:GPSLatitude and XMP:GPSLongitude, which you can do like this:
exiftool -tagsfromfile SRCFILE -gpslatitude -gpslongitude DSTFILE

Thanks a million for your quick response!
Problem is, that it seems that those fields are not evaluated by Quicktime or the Photos app.
I have these fields in DSTFILE:
GPSLatitude : 38 deg 42' 57.24" N
GPSLongitude : 9 deg 8' 24.36" W
but neither Quicktime Player nor Photos app show any location info when I open DSTFILE with those apps.
What about 'GPSCoordinates' ? Would there be any way to write that tag?
Maybe this is the one that Quicktime/Photos evaluate ...
Yes, likely it is the QuickTime:GPSCoordinates tag that QuickTime/Photos use. ExifTool can not currently write this tag.
