Hi guys,
i have an Insta 360 one X - after I stitch my files in InstaStudio my metadata is set to "right now" and the old but real metadata is gone into the filename like :
VID_20190314_182329_00_052.mp4
VID_DATE_TIME_whatever.mp4
can you help me to batch this information back to metadata of the file? would be great!!!!
ExifTool has only limited ability to write metadata to MP4 videos. You can only write XMP and some date/time tags. Exactly what information are you missing? (ie. which lines from the "exiftool -a -G1 -s" output of the original do you want restored?)

super fast reply :-) thanks :D
I mainly only want to have Date and Time (which is in Filename) -> if GPS is in would be cherry on top
is it possible to only change Date & Time?
when I enter exiftool -a -G1 -s the manual comes up
You need to specify the file name in the command. eg)
exiftool -a -G1 -s ID_20190314_182329_00_052.mp4
(assuming the file is in the current directory. Otherwise, just drag and drop the file on the terminal window to type the full path)
Your command to set the date/time tags may be something like this:
exiftool "-quicktime:time:all<filename" DIR

Hi, i see
system time is wrong for me because Final Cut sees only this
[System] FileModifyDate : 2019:03:20 13:16:27+01:00

[System] FileInodeChangeDate : 2019:03:20 13:16:27+01:00
would be great to change system with :

It seems that only the filesystem information has the wrong date/time?
If so, you can do this to set the filesystem modification date from the XMP CreateDate:
exiftool "-filemodifydate<createdate" DIR
But note that MacOS also has a filesystem creation date that you may need to set too. This is not shown in the normal ExifTool output, and requires the "setfile" utility to be able to set it:
exiftool "-filecreatedate<createdate" DIR

10000000x THANKS!
