Update to Matadata not showing in PP

I went to the Grand Canyon. We had a videographer as well as my GoPro. I forgot to reset the time and date on my GoPro. I found a tool that allowed me to update the “date created” in file explorer. When I imported it into Premier Pro it did not have the updated “date created”. I looked at all the date fields with no luck. I tried to see if I could do something in Bridge but it is too limited. However, in Bridge the ”date file created” is the corrected date. Can not figure out how Premier Pro can’t see my corrected date and Bridge can.

 

I need to be able to know in Premier Pro how to get the corrected date

    Premiere uses one of the metadata fields to show 'date' ... one that is typically less altered than others. And that metadata is then stored in the project file as a reference to/for that clip. It doesn't rescan clips for updated metadata. So it wouldn't ever show changes to the file metadata made after "importing" the file into Premiere.

     

    So ... in Bridge, is there a field that still shows that 'original' time stamp?

     

    And also, you  can go into the metadata view in Premiere, and create your own. There are tons of metadata fields you can add to the view.

    What's my workaround then?

    Listed in my post, essentially. Perhaps check through the fields that show date in Bridge, to see if one still shows what Premiere does. Change that, and then re-import the file.

     

    Or open the metadata options in the project panel, and try adding date fields until you get the one you've changed in Bridge. Then sort by that.
