geotagging of MP4 files

Hi all,

as Newbie, I have been unsuccessfully trying to geotag my MP4 files with ExifTool.  Therefore, I would highly appreciate any help. I am using ExifTool 11.80  under  macOS 10.15.2.

So far, I managed to write GPS-coordinates into a single MP4 file:

exiftool -overwrite_original_in_place -xmp:gpslatitude=52.445540 -xmp:gpslongitude=13.626618 /Users/mathias/Desktop/TEST_XMP2/C0125.MP4

Unfortunately, my attempts to adapt the command

exiftool -geotag log.gpx "-xmp: gpslatitude=<createdate"  dir

recommended in this forum failed.



Thank you very much in advance!

I haven't tested against your sample track but the command should be something like
exiftool -geotag log.gpx '-Geotime<CreateDate' <FileOrDir>

I'm not sure but it may be that the -api QuickTimeUTC option is also needed.
* 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).
