Hi!
I try to write metadata "Copyright" to mp4 and mov files and it should be placed on "Exif" namespace but the metadata always be placed in XMP namespace. Is there anyway to put "Copyright" to "Exif" namespace.

The command line:
exiftool -copyright="should be in exif namespace" copyright_2.mov

From ExifToolGUI



Thanks!

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

You should also take note that actual EXIF data in video files is non-standard.  There is no specification for it.  Each camera company shoehorns the data into the video file in different ways.
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).

Sorry.  I thought when you mentioned "Exif" namespace that you were talking about the XMP "exif" namespace, not the "Exif" metadata format.  StarGeek is correct about writing Exif metadata to videos -- there is no standard for this.
