exiftool | js wrapper around exiftool , providing metadata extraction | Runtime Evironment library

I'm looking for the easiest way to get a maximum of metadata from all pictures of a single folder.

I actually want to make a soft (bash / vba / whatever) where I just have a simple action to do to export all metadata of each pics inside an excel worksheet.

What's about Exiftool ? is that the best technique ? Is anyone know a soft who do that ?

Thanks for the help, dear community.

Currently, I'm working on a python3 script that helps me sort the Google Photos takeout files. The Takeout service for Google Photos actually strips all the metadata of an image/video into a separate JSON file.

This script that I'm working on helps me to merge the timestamp present in the JSON file into its subsequent photo or video. In order to achieve this, I'm currently using - ExifTool by Phil Harvey, which is a Perl executable. I call this tool in a subprocess to edit the Date tags in EXIF/Metadata.

This process is quite hefty and is taking a large amount of time. Then I realised that most of my photos are JPG and videos are MP4, it is very easy to edit Exif data of JPG files in python using some of the libraries present & for the lesser proportion of photos like PNG I can use exiftool.

This has drastically improved the runtime of my script. Now I want to know that is there any way to edit the creation dates of MP4 files natively in python which can theoretically execute faster than the subprocess method.

Please help! Thanks in advance.

exiftool produces multiple lines of output for each file it processes. I want to invoke it on all the jpgs in a directory, and I want to see how many lines are output for each file. Doing this,

Downloaded seven MP3 files from a website. exiftool says the Duration is two minutes.

Opened it in an audio editor and find that it is actually four minutes.

Opened a (non-downloaded) MP3 file in the same editor, duration different from two or four.

Copied all audio from the downloaded file and pasted over the other audio. Editor shows the other changing to four minutes.

exiftool shows the second file has a duration of four minutes.

Same behavior (different numbers) for the other six downloaded files. First one is the only one where the difference was approximately a factor of two (so it's not stereo vs. mono)

Is Duration an ID3 tag that can be falsified, as opposed to being measured from the actual audio?

I install new modules via the following command in my miniconda

I´m trying to extract some metadata and store them in a JSON file using Exiftool via Python.

If I run the following command (according to the documentation) in the CMD it works fine, generating a temp.json file:

I just discovered that GIMP 2.10 removes JPG EXIF data because of the "PENTAX" in uppercase present in the EXIF data (the bug is described here and here).

Tried Exif Pilot freeware and found out the EXIF fields:

Make=PENTAX

Model=PENTAX K-x

Fixing them to "Pentax K-x" and "Pentax" solves the problem but requires me to do it manually one by one in Exif Pilot GUI.

Is there any way to do this as batch for a whole folder with JPG files? I tried to find some Exiftool parameters to replace "PENTAX" with "Pentax" but to keep the model information correctly but no success so I would appreciate help.

thanks

According to spec, EXIF stores latitude and longitude with 192 precision each. But a simple calculation shows that you only need 32 bits to divide the circumference of Earth into segments of 9 mm:

I have a lot of images (JPG) with some metadata. I'm interested in these three tags, for example, from one of the images:

[XMP] FlightPitchDegree : 0.734793
[XMP] FlightRollDegree : -1.024403
[XMP] FlightYawDegree : 192.286436

I need to copy these values for each image to the next tags:

Xmp.Camera.Pitch Xmp.Camera.Roll Xmp.Camera.Yaw

Mostly for tag editing, I'm using ExifTool, but I can't find commands for copying values between tags inside one file. I'll be very appreciative of any recommendation.

Best, Andriy
