I recently converted a mp4 file in h264 to h265, the converted file has no metadata like quicktime:createdate.

the video is 40 minutes long.

I would like to add this metadata is it possible?

Using exiftool -time:all -a -G0:1 -s  the only metadata is the file access, create and modify date.

i tried

exiftool "-QuickTime:CreateDate=2016:05:05 12:12:12" -overwrite_original

but doesnt seem to work.

Currently ExifTool can't add new QuickTime tags.  It can only add XMP metadata to MP4 files.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

is there any way arround this?

There are other utilities that have the ability to do this.  A bit of google should give a solution.
