EXIFTOOL for Google Photos
Apologies for the lack of formatting here, I'll clean it up soon I swear.
I often take framegrabs from my action camera videos and then upload them to Google Photos. I want to be able to set
tags that track: timestamp, basic camera info, and GPS.
I haven't found a tool that automatically sets timestamps based on the original video (then increment based on video
position) so I do this manually. I had problems with free UI based EXIF editors that do not populating tags that
Google Photos can read. After a bit of trial and error, I found the appropriate tags that seem to work. Google Photos
seems to really like XMP tags.
