Changing DATE TAKEN field in BULK using BRU

Postby bsac » Wed Mar 12, 2025 8:43 pm

I have been trying to figure out if BRU can change the DATE TAKEN FIELD in BULK.

I have a bunch of photos and videos that got corrupted and lost this data. I am attempting to restore this field to make organizing photos easier in the future.

If BRU cannot do this function, do you know what software that has an EASY GUI interface that can (I'm a beginner, I need it easy to understand)

Thanks, bob

In the latest version, in Change File Timestamps, you can change the Exif Date Taken / Date Original based on the File Date Created or Modified Timestamp.

How did you find out that the metadata inside the photos are corrupted?
Whicks program did you use?
