Hello!

I have some videos I need to change their dates. How am I supposed to do? I tried for one video but I check the properties of that video and the created date didn't change as in the pic.

2) Another question is if I want to change the dates of videos and pics in a file, how am I supposed to do it?

Really desperate to fix all the dates.

Exiftool may not be able to change the dates on video file as it has limited ability in this area.

You have to be a bit more specific as to which dates you want changed, as there are three in the attached image.

If this is related to your other post, please don't create new posts on the same subject.

Finally, you may have to end up learning how to use the command line in the long run.  The gui may not be enough.  Take time and read over the Getting Started thread.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

Yes thank you for your reply.

I tried to check exif data for some videos but the Create and Modify dates are missing. I tried changing it to original date then I checked to see if it was updated, the dates were all missing. Even for some other videos. I have no idea why this happened? Kinda scared....

Please check the image I've attached.

Try this command to see what tags exiftool will change (setting to the current time for example):

exiftool -wm w -time:all=now FILE

...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 ($).
