  2. I use this file manager: http://www.zabkat.com/x2lite.htm

    Changing file attributes is done from the Actions menu.

    Hi,
    You can also try to use MP4Workshop. It is a new software designed to edit the internal metadata of the MP4, MOV and JPG files. It is free software, you can download from mp4workshop.com.
    It can handle single files, but in essence it is aimed at batches of files (mp4,mov and jpg), which is usually the case when you camera setting is wrong..

    Important: the software also adds important timezone offset information. Many mp4/mov files only contain a timestamp in the mvhd atom, and this is only UTC time. Files from Apple devices usually contain the Quicktime tag/key ‘com.apple.quicktime.creationdate’ and this seems to be the only key that is widely used by many softwares (like GooglePhotos) to read the time including offset (e.g. 2021-03-04 12:18:02+01:00). When not present, MP4Workshop adds this key to your video file so it can store the time correctly, including the offset. For jpg files it adds Exif GPSTime (UTC) and local time.

    It is free, GUI based, does NOT re-encode you video and has a preview window for the file you're working on. There is a tutorial on the website, and it has built-in tutorial hints for first-time use.
    See mp4workshop.com

    Greetings, John

    Here is a screenshot (in this case including the tutorial call-outs). P.S.: The software can do much more like: adding GPS location coordinates, edit other metadata, view the atom structure of a file.

  5. Your software looks great John, but I'm concerned by the warnings I get from malwarebytes, and other anti-virus tools.

    Has anyone else used mp4workshop and can verify that it's legit and without hidden virus / malware capability?
