BACKGROUND
I just uploaded years of videos to Amazon Cloud Drive (consumer photo/video storage) and it is not recognizing when the videos were actually taken. I have all of these files categorized with directories for each year and within the year, a directory for each month.
i.e. ➞
/2009/01
/2009/02
...
/2012/03
/2014/04
... etc.
I tried the following command and it did adjust the "Created Date" to the proper day, month, and year for all the AVI files in the targeted directory!
SetFile -d "01/01/09 12:00" /Volumes/7TB\ WD\ External/Pictures/All\ Pictures/2009/01/*.AVI
Unfortunately, when I uploaded to my Amazon Cloud drive, that field does not seem to be what Amazon is using to determine the creation date/time of a video.
MAIN QUESTIONS
What field does Amazon Photos look at (in video files) to index the date/time of when a video was taken, so that I can view them in line with the year/month where they belong, instead of their own folder called "no date"?
Is there a tool or a command line script that I could write, similar to the command above, where I could bulk target the proper field and update the metadata for these video files with a "date taken" field that Amazon would be reading from?
If you have an amazon prime account, you can tinker with uploading Amazon photos and seeing if the metadata is working, here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
