Hello everyone, I'm sure you can help me. I want to read the metadata from a video file and transfer it to the same but newly converted (this makes me lose it). If I do this with individual files, it works great. However, since I have to edit many files, I would like the entire directory to be processed automatically. I have already found solutions here that do not work for me. I work with a Mac and the following command: Exiftool -TagsFromFile %d%f.MOV -all:all -ext mov /Volumes/jokl_8/Videos/exif/
Although the files are processed, the metadata is not transferred. What am I doing wrong?
Best regards, Jokl

Hi Jokl,
Specifically, what metadata is not transferred? Use this command to look at the metadata in the files:
exiftool -a -s -G1 FILE

Hi Phil,
the originals remain without any change. I have now tried to implement the individual command in the shell in a loop, but I do not get the variables implemented at -all:all.

You should be able to copy the date/time tags, Make, Model and the GPS tags with the command you used. (I think: You didn't show me the output with -G1, so I'm guessing about where these tags are stored.)
Try the command on just a single file, and add the -v2 option to get some more details about what is happening.
