Script to copy DateCreated into DateTImeOrig needed
Posted: Fri Dec 14, 2012 5:27 am
Hi,
I am looking for a script that copies the File Properties: DateCreated field into the Camera Data (Exif): Date Time Original field. I have a number of AVI fields that have the right information in the DateCreate (and the TIme Digitized Field which would be an alternate source) but have the Date Time Original field emtpy. I can copy/paste by hand but I have hundreds of files. The problem is that after encoding with MediaEncoder the information about the date seems to be lost unless the Date Time Original field is set. I have zero experience with Bridge Scripting so if anyone has a fragment that would get me close, that would be helpful. Alternatively if somebody on this board could put this together for me, I'd be happy to pay for a few hours. I've tried a lot of other tools but apart from cut/pasting in Bridge haven' t gotten anything to work.
Thanks much
Axel
