How Do I Fix the Dates on My Videos?

Write the real date into the video file itself, the same way you would with a photo, and every player sorts correctly.

Video files have their own date field, and when it is empty, players and galleries fall back on the file date. That is why one holiday can end up split across two years.

Switches for converting HEIC to JPG, looking up place names, and converting videos to MP4.
Turn on only what you want changed

The real date is usually still available. In a Google Takeout export it is in the .json file beside the video. Otherwise the file's modified date is often close enough to be worth using.

Takeout JSON Metadata Fixer handles videos in the same run as the photos, so a mixed folder comes out in one consistent order. It runs on your own computer and is free for your first 500 photos.
