Hi, I am new to Dopus. In the Column selections I only find Date/Time tags which apparantly all are only system tags (FileModify/Access/Createdate) but no Quick Time CreateDate, CreationDate or DateTimeOriginal. The Filedates are useless when working with e.g.videos where you need the tags of when…

To clarify a bit more: If a video was taken in NovaScotia on April 29 at 21:00 local time, the QT CreateDate is 2025:04:29 21:00:00 -3:00 (i.e. UTC -3) and e.g. Windows Explorer willl show correctly April 29 and 21:00 in the Create date column. My system time however is Germany, so FileCreateDate is…

There are other date/time columns under the Movies and Picture Metadata categories which may have what you want. If none of the built-in columns work for the date fields within those files, you can add any column from File Explorer into Opus via Preferences / File Display Columns / Shell Properties.…

Thanks, I looked at that list. Maybe your software uses another nomenclature. I am used to Exiftool names. I don't find anything which looks like Quicktime CreateDate. Can you point me to that tag in Dopus ?

For Quicktime fields you'd need an add-in like ExifTool Custom Columns .

Checking with .mov files from my phone, the built-in Movies > Release Date column looks like it always contains the date/time the videos were taken (distinct from the filesystem's modified times, and matching the phone's metadata). [image] If that doesn't work for your files but File Explorer has…

Thank you. I will try that. Nevertheless, why is such an important field not available in the basic selections ?

the suggestion with preferences/shell does not work either, neither with the example file. all date/time stamps available only show the time in system time zone, not in time zone where the footage was taken. The files of course do have all these metadata, I see them in ExiftollGUI and also Windows E…

Any column you see in Explorer can also be shown in Opus.

ok, I was wrong in one statement. Actually Windows Explorer does not show it either. It shows in ExiftoolGUI and in applications like Premiere Pro. I guess that means Dopus cannot show it.

If it shows in ExifTool you should have a look at the link posted by lxp.
