I will also explain why you should be using this specific tool and why it may be a better option than the other tools currently offered out there.
I will also be showing how to send EXIF data to the screen and to a text file using ExifTool.
ExifTool is a powerful and versatile tool that allows you to read and display EXIF data embedded in a wide range of file formats.
It was first released way back in 2003 and over the years, the developer has continued to update it fairly regularly to support new camera models and metadata standards.
It may seem technical initially but once you have started using it, you may just find ExifTool an indispensable application for managing and understanding your media files.
////////////////////
Here is the command to send EXIF data to the screen and below it is the command to send EXIF data to a text file.
to send EXIF data to screen:
C:\ET\exiftool -ee "path of media file"
-- or --
exiftool -ee "path of media file"
to send EXIF data to a text file:
C:\ET\exiftool -ee "path of media file" ＞ "path of text file"
-- or --
exiftool -ee "path of media file" ＞ "path of text file"
IMPORTANT:
The 2nd command will not work as is and so when you type it in, be sure to replace the rightward-facing arrow '＞' with an actual angled bracket.
I have to resort to using a special character '＞' that looks like a rightward-facing arrow as YouTube (for some reason) currently does not allow angled brackets in the YT Description section.
Thanks to @MDTechVideos for the workaround!
