Hello,
Now I noticed that both my iPhone 6s and Galaxy Note 3 create some meta data in my videos including GPS data. I read somewhere in this forum that video uses XMP.
- How can we make a good use of the data stored by phones in the videos and create a good meta that can be read by Flickr?
- Can we copy this metadata and rewrite them back at XMP format?
- How can we make a good use of the GPS data in the video to create standard GPS metadata that can be read by other applications?
- Any more idea?
Usually, I do the following for each video I have
exiftool -overwrite_original "-alldates<filename" ./exiftool '-TrackCreateDate<CreateDate' '-MediaCreateDate<CreateDate' '-FileModifyDate<CreateDate' '-MediaModifyDate<CreateDate' '-TrackModifyDate<CreateDate' '-xmp:DateTimeOriginal<CreateDate' '-xmp:CreateDate<CreateDate' '-xmp:ModifyDate<CreateDate' '-xmp:dateTimeOriginal<${DateTimeOriginal}+03:00' '-xmp:CreateDate<${CreateDate}+03:00' '-xmp:ModifyDate<${CreateDate}+03:00' ./exiftool -P -d '%Y%m%d_%H%M%S' \
'-filename<${CreateDate}%-c.%e' \
'-filename<${DateTimeOriginal}%-c.%e' \
$@ -ext mov -ext 3gp -ext mp4 -ext avi -r .
Below my sample MP4 and Mov metadata

I doubt this is stored in XMP. Use the -G1 option when extracting to see where the metadata is stored.

In your .mov file the GPS is stored in XMP, and ExifTool is able to write this. However, ExifTool can't write the QuickTime GPS used in your .mp4 file.

They are also written in the composite

How can I copy the GPS data from QuickTime to XMP?
Thx
This should do it:
exiftool "-xmp:GPSLongitude<GPSLongitude" "-xmp:GPSLatitude<GPSLatitude"
