I know there are some basic information embedded within a video file, but what about information relating to the camera and camera settings used when capturing the video?

I want to look at videos of mine and see what the shutter speed and ISO settings used in the capture. ---
- PowerDirector 13 Ultimate
- DJI Phantom 4 Drone
- GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition (two of these)
- Kodak Zx5 HD Waterproof Pocket Video Camera
- Canon PowerShot SD1300 (HD video & stills
- Canon EOS 40D DSLR w/lots of lenses--my favorite being a EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM

Hi,

In general Tomasc is right, but....

Some video containers do hold more extensive metadata and in some cases it can be accessed, but it might not hold the data you are interested in.

http://www.cinematography.com/index.php?showtopic=71359

"In more recent Canon camera bodies, the exif or metadata is placed within the .mov file itself. I have the T3i, SL1, and 5D Mark III which all store the information in the .mov file. The metadata will give you information on the camera settings (lens used, white balance, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, frame rate, etc.) that were used at the time of recording the movie file."

Might help out???

Thanks. I tried exiftool and it does give more information, but not camera settings such as aperture, shutter speed, focal length, ISO, etc.

It does give GPS info, FPS, etc., which is nice.
