Fix EXIF "Date Taken" so it works with Google Photos

[PatrikSelin]

Hello,

I have a problem with a few videos (mp4) with an incorrect date, they have an incorrect date. So how do I fix them?

First you need to figure out what tag you want to change.  See FAQ 2 for this.

If you are lucky, these tags are writable (see the QuickTime tags documentation for a list of tags writable in MP4 videos).

If they are writable, then use a command like this:

exiftool -TAG="VALUE" FILE

to set the appropriate tags to the desired values.

Hello,

I installed ExifToolGUI because it seems easier (I'm not good at these things).  How do I change the "CreateDate" field data to the same as "FileCreateDate"?

Try
"-Quicktime:CreateDate<FileModifyDate"
in the Direct panel.
