Hi,

Exiftool is reading the dates from a MOV file I just took in the future.  Here's what I'm seeing as an output.


File Modification Date/Time     : 2018:12:11 19:42:27-06:00
File Access Date/Time           : 2018:12:11 19:44:23-06:00
File Inode Change Date/Time     : 2018:12:11 19:44:21-06:00
Create Date                     : 2018:12:12 01:42:28
Modify Date                     : 2018:12:12 01:42:29
Track Create Date               : 2018:12:12 01:42:28
Track Modify Date               : 2018:12:12 01:42:29
Media Create Date               : 2018:12:12 01:42:28
Media Modify Date               : 2018:12:12 01:42:29
Creation Date                   : 2018:12:11 19:42:27-06:00


The 12:11 dates are ok, but the Create and Modify dates are from tomorrow morning.  I'm using an iphone and a mac.  The mac sees the correct dates in the file, but exiftool warps them 6 hours into the future or something like that.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

Try adding the -api quicktimeutc option (documented here).

...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 ($).

That did it!  Thanks so much for the quick response!
