Writing dates from CSV to MOV files on Mac External Drive

[thisisbommy]

Hello. I have a folder full of .mov files and a .csv with the dates I'd like to overwrite for every Exif CSV date, or at least the ones that Photos on MacOS cares about. Ideally I'd also like to overwrite the file names with this date too.

I've copied one of these videos into another folder to test and, based on this thread, I have attempted the following, but I'm getting an error. I'd greatly appreciate any advice.

Terminal Output below, followed by a screen grab that shows my CSV and folder structure too.

Try adding -api largefilesupport to the command.

Here's the link to the docs on that option
-api LargeFileSupport option

Reason why it's not enabled by default
Why LargeFileSupport is not enabled by default?
