Best Way to Sort Video by Date Shot? Fri Apr 10, 2020 3:03 pm • by bodiequirk
I am in the midst of organizing 70,000+ photos and the "Date Taken" parameter has been an absolute lifesaver for me for photos, but I can't seem to accomplish the same with videos?

I tried "Content Created" but that didn't seem to do it. What is the best way to organize video files based on when the footage was taken, instead of when the file was created?

Thanks!

Date Taken only applies to photos at the moment. If you select the video file and do "Get Info" in Finder, you can see all the metadata it has available. Not sure if Spotlight indexes the field you want though.
