With the -api QuickTimeUTC option, exiftool will automatically adjust the time to UTC. Mac Finder will also correctly adjust from UTC.

This is because the CreateDate tag for MP4 files is supposed to be UTC and Windows properties will read it as such. If not, you will have to add the time zone like this:Įxiftool -api QuickTimeUTC "-CreateDate<$-04:00" 20181223_000542.mp4 This will work correctly as long as the video was taken in the same time zone as the computer you are currently using. In that case you can simply use this command (see exiftool FAQ #5)Įxiftool -api QuickTimeUTC "-CreateDate
