Rename MOV files to encoded date

Post by misscheevius »

Hello,

Trying to rename a bunch of MOV files downloaded (bulk) from Apple iCloud. Incorrect modified/creation date, but the exiftool encoded date is correct. Can’t work out the right ‘code’ to use to convert.

Any tips/advice greatly appreciated, thank you.
(Downloaded 77,000 files and have sorted the vast majorly of the PNG, HEIC, JPG and MOV, but some MOV aren’t working to be relabelled for me!)

Aiming to rename as YY_mm_dd_filename

Thank you!!!

Can i ask advice for converting a MOV file, trying to relabel based on the (exiftool) create date or modify date? Cant seem to work out that code.
Correct date also appears in properties encoded date (but not create or modified date)
Tags for the MOV appear as below, thanks for any suggestions, otherwise Ill create a new thread!
