I get all kinds of EXIF data (like location and camera model) easily from images, and I'm trying to replicate this for my .MOV movie files pulled from my iPhone.

I know Apple has this information somewhere because you can see the location in the Photos app, but I don't know how to programmatically access this when looking at .MOV files directly.

In order of preference for my use-case (Python-based personal photo organizer / enrichment):

  1. Is this available ideally somewhere in the file (or another file) itself
  2. Stored somewhere in iCloud that is queryable / scrapeable
  3. Available when building an iOS application (thinking I could build a sync-type app)

To get created date and other properties of MOV files so far, I'm using hachoir based on this StackOverflow answer: Getting metadata for MOV video

    Where do those MOV files that you are talking about come from? I get MP4 files from my iPhones. – El Tomato Jun 21 '21 at 05:27

    This SO thread might help you to get `moov` (movie atom), metadata of your `.mov` with python > https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21355316/getting-metadata-for-mov-video And this [document](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/QuickTime/QTFF/Metadata/Metadata.html) mentions about this key `com.apple.quicktime.location.ISO6709` contains location of the video. – Quang Hà Jun 21 '21 at 06:38
