Remove timezone from Content Create Date

[trymeout]

Hello,

Is there a easy way to remove the timezone from the "Content Create Date " metadata date and time field?

Change it from this

Code Select Expand

Content Create Date             : 2022:11:22 12:00:00-06:00


And change it to this without reentering the date and time.

Code Select Expand

Content Create Date             : 2022:11:22 12:00:00

Is there a simple command that can do this to save time from having to reenter the date and time?

Thanks in advanced

Can use a s/match/replace/ like...  -ContentCreateDate"<${ContentCreateDate; s/-.*//}"

This won't work with versions 12.13+.  Because Apple will display wildly inaccurate dates when there isn't a timezone present in the string based Quicktime date/time tags, exiftool will automatically add the local time zone to the date if a time zone isn't included.  The can be suppressed with the -n (--printConv) option or its hashtag # shorthand.
exiftool "-ContentCreateDate#<${ContentCreateDate; s/-.*//}" /path/to/files/

This does work with any timezone before 00:00, but it will not work with timezones that are after 00:00 such as +05:00.

Ah, yes, try this
exiftool "-ContentCreateDate#<${ContentCreateDate; s/[+-].*//}" /path/to/files/
