EXIF tags are not kept when editing video

[noopsit]

Hi, I'm using avidemux mainly to shorten my footage before I edit it in other tools like DaVinci or Premiere. I especially like the fact that no re-encoding is needed as long as you cut on key frames. My footage is mainly drone footage and it contains valuable information in the EXIF tagsd like the timestamp when the video was recored. Unfortunately, these tags are removed as soon as the video is saved. I have been using the MP4 muxer with video & audio options set to "Copy". It would be great if Avidemux could keep the EXIF data, or, in case multiple videos have been put together, the tags from the first video.

Great program btw! Thanks

It may be possible to extract the info you want to keep and automatically reapply it to the Avidemux output (with an external command-line tool).
If you simply want to keep the recording date/time, adding it to the filename is the easiest solution.
