iTunes Metadata Keys

QuickTime

Used in QuickTime Player, Finder, and other apps.

Videos recorded with the iPhone’s built-in Camera app use the QuickTime metadata format to store information such as “Creation Date” and “Location Coordinates (GPS).”

Note: In AV Metadata Edit, QuickTime metadata keys are shown with the prefix “com.apple.quicktime” omitted.
For example, “com.apple.quicktime.displayname” is shown as “displayname.”

Date-Time Format

Based on a subset of ISO 8601

・YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss Z2024-01-20 03:45:08 Z
・YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss ±hh:mm (±hh:mm indicates the time zone)2024-01-20 12:45:08 +09:00
・YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss2024-01-20 12:45:08
・YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm2024-01-20 12:45
・YYYY-MM-DD hh2024-01-20 12
・YYYY-MM-DD2024-01-20
・YYYY-MM2024-01
・YYYY2024

※ 1
In the actual recorded data, a 'T' exists between DD and hh. For better readability, AV Metadata Edit omits the ‘T’ and displays a space instead.
For example, the recorded data '2024-01-20T12:00:00+09:00' is displayed as '2024-01-20 12:00:00 +09:00'.

※ 2
In ID3v2.4 tags, date-time values are written in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC: +00:00). You cannot specify or include a time zone.
For example, instead of writing ‘2024-01-20 12:00:00 -07:00’, you should write ‘2024-01-20 19:00:00’ in UTC.

※ 3
In the official documentation of QuickTime metadata, the format example for "com.apple.quicktime.creationdate" is shown as '4/21/2012'. However, AV Metadata Edit adopts the ISO 8601 format described above, which is commonly used in videos recorded with iPhones and similar devices.
