P: Read and write video metadata into video or sidecar

Question maybe its been covered. when importing stills and video from my Canon power shot G15. the stills will have for example exif date and time 09:00am (time taken) but if I have a video shortly after say taken at 9:05am the create date may show 09:05 but exif has a 4 hr difference of 13:05. I looked at video file in Canon software and don't see a issue. just when looking at LR catalog listing I have to alter time for the .MOV files. I tried test with my 60D and 70D and it appears to be ok. anyone else have this problem? Is it LR6CC or me?

I also would like to be able to change the "Date Digitised" Metadata.

Amazing they haven't done anything yet about this.
I feel I may have lost a lot of time tagging my videos.

I never used to use LR for managing videos until recently. I was surprised, like everyone else here, that LR doesn't deal with metadata for videos at all.

1. At minimum, it should save title, description and year.
2. If the video format doesn't support meta-data, write it into the XMP (or even just skip it, I wouldn't care in those cases). Most modern video formats support it though (mov, mp4, m4v).

It is frustrating when importing gigabytes of pictures & videos to have to then manually sort of the video dates!

Same here. Lightroom 5.3 and struggling hard to work with capture time for my videos. Things get even more complicated when trying to export videos to flickr since flickr is not very good either, at handling capture date...

Like Louis, I'm on 5.3, and cannot manage my videos correctly. The Capture Time is all messed up, and there is a LOT of manual editing required. Then, even after i manually update the capture time, the file renaming function pulls from date/time digitized, so then there's more manual work required. Very frustrating!

Already to 5.3 RC and no change... It won't even read basic media info that is easy to read using exiftool.

It continues to be frustrating the Adobe cannot seem to spare the resources to handle some of this basic metadata support. Just look at the endless and as of yet unanswered requests for better keyword management too.

Yes, of course, John, I should have mentioned Any File as another (great) solution.
