I want to rename my video files to the date which is set in the CreateDate Field. However with the standard timestamp renamer I get an invalid date or an error. I do not know how to use the scripts. Can anyone help me?

The Timestamp method rewrites the file create date. You need to use the New Name method and build the required date format using Date/Time Created Tags.

yeah that part I understand, but now I want to set the fileCreateDate to the value that stands in the exiftool field: CreateDate. How do I do that? Cause when using other rename utilities, they always pick the date 2017-09-30 or 2019-05-04. The actual date is was created was 2017-10-03, seet attachment <img>https://www.helpmij.nl/forum/attachment.php?atta chmentid=337301&d=1557071197</img > |

Daniel, I have done this in two steps 1. using the "New Name" method based on <ExifTool:CreateDate> - <name>. This sets the filename to the tag you are looking for. 2. Use the AR "Timestamp" method to change any of the three dates available with "Filename pattern" <Year>_<Month>_<Day> <Hour>_<Min>_<Sec> |
