Problem with "creation date" only with videos

Dear all,

I have a huge problem with the import of videos and the date/time stamp.

Using an Apple MacBook M2, newest Lightroom Classic CC version.

While importing videos and photos I recognizing that the date/time stamp of all photos are correct, the date/time stamp of all videos is today (import date).

If I select a video and klick on "show in finder" the file itself has the correct date/time stamp.

I do not really know where to look, because all videos are not correct and all photos are correct.

Do you have an idea, how to correct this issue?

There are known issues with video capture time:

You can use the Edit Capture Date and Time function in Lightroom to correct tne issue, however:

Hi Johan,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction and for the speedy reply.

I searched first but didn't find nearly this many similar inquiries as my (re)post, so thanks for sending. However it doesn't seem like there's a solid fix for this yet.

My takeaways:

1. the problem generally occurs from moving folders around in LR -- which in this case I'm guilty of since the move to LR 12 changed my default import location from my external storage to my internal without me realizing.

2. the only fix currently if this occurs is to manually change the timestamps.

Let me know if this is your understanding, and thanks again for your time!

I must have missed the connection between the original question, about time stamps on videos, and moving folders from here to there in LrC. Moving folders, as far as I know, can have problems, but one of those problems is not that the timestamp on videos gets changed or corrupted.
