When you transfer video files from camera devices, smart phones, external hard drives, or download videos from Cloud servers and video websites to Mac, you will find the creation date of the video file has been changed. The macOS file system uses the first time the file appears on the Mac as the Finder creation date, not the video file shooting date.

This is why the creation date and shooting time of movie files are not the same. Not only video files, but also photo files have the same problem. In some previous articles, we have provided some ways to change the arrival date of photos to the creation date. In this article, we will provide a solution to copy the camera date of the video file to the creation date on the Mac.

When we take a photo or video files, the photo and video file will write the shooting date as part of the metadata to the file. The shooting date of the photo is recorded in the photo exif metadata. The metadata of the video file is different from the photo metadata, but it also has a metadata tag of the creation date to record the shooting date.

When you face this problem with many video files, how to solve it? How to solve it? Here we recommend using Photo Exifer to batch copy camera dates of video files to creation date with one click. Download and install Photo Exifer on your Mac.

Run Photo Exifer, and then import video files into Photo Exifer. Select imported videos, and click the Quick Action and select the “Copy Camera date to the Created date” menu item

Then all selected video files will be changed to the camera shooting date.
