![]() ![]() My filename template contains a “Custom Text” tag followed by the capture date. The problem appears to only affect video files and not my RAW or JPEG files. This is only an issue with rename as the problem doesn’t occur during the initial import of the video files into the catalog using the exact same template. The rename functionality within Lightroom 5.7 ( “Menu>Library>Rename Photo”) is broken when renaming video files using filename templates that contain the “Date” tags. None of these works 100% (just try to import some BMPs from a scanner). my origin idea was so simple - throw everything into LR, let it sort by LR and make your own order. I am ensuring myself one again - NEVER EVER TRUST any tools you didn't constructed yourself. I hoped LR is clever enough to manage it on its own. I will probably need to dig in the EXIFs of the videos. Now I am completely unsure if there is anywhere the proper capture time - as I said windows shows not the expected time and LR shows just nothing. It seems to be a creation time while copying the files on android or something like that. I've just gone through my 1000 thousand videos and stated the problem is even worse - there are sources (android devices only?) where there is the original capture time wrong - it can be seen under windows as well (last modification time). Thank you very much for all your research, I'll give it a try, although it seems to be just another workaround and it MAY stop working for any reason. I can support the developers with further details and examples. At the moment I'm *BLOCKED* in my workflow, and the material get produced more and more. ![]() I would really appreciate to get a fix *SOON*. This seams to be a simple *BUG* and I do not understand why it has not been fixed for years now as it is a *FUNDAMENTAL FUNCTIONALITY*. And after that *FOR EACH AND EVERY IMPORT*. *BUT* - I am not going to do it manually for 1000 files. There is a *WORKAROUND*: you can make LR update the dates using the menu function "Metadata/Edit capture time". This is total disaster, because I am not able get the files in the correct creation order to rename and store them properly, which *CRUCIAL* to work with the video clips! I imported >1000 videos from 2014, all got the "Creation date" set to "Import date" (for all my video-sources), although they could be split into the proper folders by date during the import, which means LR *CAN* properly interpret the dates, *BUT NOT* in the Library while sorting! avi on Windows 8.1, the date in grid view appears to be the file system's last-modified time, while Capture Date/Time is set to the time of import.This problem was declared fixed in LR 5.5, and it appears to have been fixed for images, but not videos: 'm opening a new topic, since the previous one has been marked "Solved". LR 5.7 still shows inconsistent capture date/times for videos. See here for precise recipes to replicate these bugs: ![]() Rather, it maintains capture time in several different fields, and the various parts of LR update those fields inconsistently. The underlying cause is architectural: LR doesn't have a single internal catalog field representing "capture time". It also causes date metadata to be written back to the files that doesn't conform with the Metadata Working Group's standard. Changing IPTC Date Created in the Metadata panel, either by editing the field or using Metadata > Copy/Paste Metadata, similarly causes inconsistent values to be shown and sorting and searching to work inconsistently. scans), there is still an inconsistency between the times shown under the thumbnails in grid view and in the Metadata panel and the hidden, internal times used for sorting in grid view. With photos and videos missing metadata capture date/times (e.g. Update : Though LR 7.1 made improvements, LR 7.3.1 still has two closely related problems with a single underlying cause: ![]()
