Would this be throwing off Lightroom?

For some reason, Adobe has decided not to support the Quicktime time stamps properly.  You might try writing the correct local time to the XMP time stamps, XMP:DateTimeOriginal, XMP:CreateDate, and XMP:ModifyDate (or all three at once with XMP:AllDates) and see if LR will give priority to the XMP data.

If that doesn't work, then you have to decide which you want to use.  The correct time in LR or the correct time in other programs.

Thanks StarGeek

I would never have guessed that. I'm working on a move back to the Apple ecosystem for my photos after about an 18 month experiment with Lightroom so as long as Lightroom is the only app to have an issue with those time stamps then I'll continue to adjust them that way.

Thanks!
