QuickTime Live-photo tags not documented

[johnrellis]

Live photos produced by iOS contain QuickTime tags Live-photoAuto, Live-photoVitality-score, and Live-photoVitality-scoring-version, but these tags aren't documented on the QuickTime tags page, nor do they appear with the -list option:

Code Select Expand


$ exiftool -ver
12.17

$ exiftool -a -G IMG_5529.mov | grep -i live
[QuickTime]     Live-photo Auto                 : 1
[QuickTime]     Live-photo Vitality-score       : 1
[QuickTime]     Live-photo Vitality-scoring-version: (Binary data 8 bytes, use -b option to extract)

$ exiftool -list -quicktime:all | grep -i live
  LinkTarget LivePhotoInfo Location LocationBody LocationDate


I've attached IMG_5529.mov, produced by iOS 14.3.

Sorry for the delay in getting around to this.

Thanks for the report, and for the sample video.

I'll add these tags to the next version.

Thanks.

I actually did the release yesterday.  Version 12.21 should have this update.
