I’ll introduce how to change video recording dates on Android using the ExifTool app.

Background: Trimming Videos Changes Recording Date to Current Time

When editing and saving videos using the gallery app installed by default on Android, the Exif data is not inherited, and the recording date is saved as the current date/time.

I wanted the recording date to be properly reflected when uploading edited videos to Mitene family album (家族アルバム みてね), so I tried changing it with the ExifTool app.

• ExifTool - Display and Edit Image/Video Metadata - Google Play Apps (ExifTool - 画像動画のメタデータの表示・編集 - Google Play のアプリ)

Steps to Change Video Recording Date with ExifTool App

1. From the original video file, use the **Create Date** field to "Copy readable value"
2. For the edited video file, edit all **Date** fields and paste the copied value

That’s all from the Gemba on changing video recording dates on Android using the ExifTool app.
