Please could someone help answer these questions. I'm trying to modify the all dates of .mov video files taken on iPhone.

1) What attribute is "Date" in Windows?



Is "Date" in Windows included with the "AllDates" tag?
If I apply this syntax then the "date" field doesn't update.
exiftool.exe "-AllDates=2015:05:31_14:52:14" "M:\Project\2015-05-04_15-23-01.mov"

What would be the syntax to change all dates/time from "com.apple.quicktime.creationdate"?
This is embed into the file from the iPhone (This is the correct time I need to reference)

No.  AllDates is just the common EXIF date/time tags.  (See the Shortcut Tags documentation for details.)

Use -time:all to specify all date/time tags, but note that ExifTool has limited write ability for QuickTime files.  See the QuickTime tags documentation for details.

...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 ($).

Excellent, thanks for helping point me in the right direction.
Great job you do with this tool!

I used this blog post to help with the syntax I'm after
