Thank you Mr. Incredible
Super helpful, thank you!!!! Subscibed.
Yes, I would like to see a video on modifying meta data like date, location, etc. for scanned pictures. This way my NAS can sort them correctly. Thanks.
Hi I will take a look at how to do that, what NAS do you have and which application on the NAS are you using to sort them. I will see if I can identify what fields / tags would need to be populated. Exiftool will more than likely be able to do this.
@@MerciaSolutions I have a Synology NAS and am using Photo Station 6.2. It will eventually go to Synology Photo 7. I am thinking to start with date “taken” and estimated gps location. Typically files are JPEG, ARW, HEIC, and MOV, MP4. Concern is correct format as to not corrupt file as I have only started looking at the specific formats for each file format. Thanks for considering doing this as I am sure a lot of people have scanned files with no real basic meta data. Regards.
Hi we have just upload a video on how to add location information to a JPEG using Exiftool a link to the video is here. I hope it is helpful. th-cam.com/video/kHCHAjezb_s/w-d-xo.html
@@MerciaSolutions Thanks for the video. I have been searching and comparing several editing metadata software with my criteria. It’s a bit hard to find good reviews on them so I have been getting free versions and testing them on a subset of defined pics. I am surprised more people are not interested in this.
@Tom Ardkeen Here is a video of the same channel th-cam.com/video/Ku1Nx-kl7RM/w-d-xo.html Hope it helps you!
Excellent and very clear, thank you
I want to make sure, does this apply for audio metadata from FLACs, MP3s...?
Hi exiftool supports ID3 and Lyrics3 metadata therefore should be able view and extract change the details in these tags. Full list of tags supported are on exiftool website.
Thanks for the video!
I have about 5000 images with the metadata saved in a separate csv file.
How can I use Exiftool to write all of this metadata to the corresponding file?
It would really help me alot. Thanks in advance.
You definitely will be able to use exiftool to write the metadata from a cab. I have not yet done this but may add a future video to show doing this.
i made the same line prompt but the output csv (xls) shows the line information in just one column and didn´t divide it....why? can you help me to resolve?
realy helped
I've tried using Exiftool so many times because people keep saying it's "easy" and "basic" and stuff like that. Nothing about it looks simple to me. Once again, I'm giving up on it.
Shame, have a look at the exiftool gui video might just be the solution your looking for. Also have another video on how to install exiftool.
Completely new to Exiftool and 'comands'. At this point I'd just like to edit/change the Camera Model Name but have no idea how to (e.g. Exiftoll 101). Can anyone please help me out. That aside, well presented video.
while saving to excel all the values are being written to only one cell
for each image the entire data is being written to only the 1st column how to solve this
please help
Hi you need to import a csv to excel or open as a csv "comma-separated values". Excel will then know each cell is to be serperated by a comma.
Can anyone point me to a reference doing this exact thing just in Mac OS Terminal?
Hi, the syntax should be very similar on the Mac terminal. The path naming convention will require using a forward slash, not a backslash, as in windows.
I tried doing this, but the date I get from the mp4 video, is showing the date today which is when I downloaded it, so it's not showing the original time file was created.
Sounds like the file has already had all metadata stripped from the file.
@@MerciaSolutions Do I need the original source then? It kind of sounds like I do :D
@@RuneHansen4300 yes though the original file may only have limited metadata fields depending on the camera or software used to produce it.
@@MerciaSolutions Well in that case it doesn't matter, if they knew the sender already it would be over. :) but thanks
Why people that "EXPLAIN" how to use this program they are just writing and writing but they only know what they writing like they think people read minds
Hi Joao let me know if your stuck with something to do with exiftool I do my best to help. We have several other videos on setting up exiftool and carrying out different functions which may help?
Buggy
Why do I always get this error message?
exiftool is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file
i keep getting a C:\Program Files\Exiftool> exiftool .\list[1].pdf
Error: File not found - ./list[1].pdf
Please help
Hi Diego, the ".\ " denotes the current directory the error is therefore saying it cannot find the file list[1].pdf in the "C:\Program Files\Exiftool" . Try replacing exiftool with dir to list the files and make sure the path the pdf file is correct. you can also use cd to change the directory. If you havent take a look at video as how I install exiftool so you can use it in any location on the file system. There are a few tricks in opening the path directly from explorer that I use in the video which make things a lot quicker and simplify the process.
