Insta Date Fixer 360 1.6 Released - Addressing Insta360 Studio Date Export EXIF Changes

August 9, 2023

Insta Date Fixer 360 1.6 is now available for download from the Mac App Store!

This release addresses an issue that impacts users of Insta360, specifically users of Insta360 Studio 2023: In the latest version of Insta360 Studio 2023 (4.8.4), the Insta360 developers have decided to remove date metadata from exported videos and this has impacted the ability for Insta Date Fixer 360 to extract date information from exported video files.

To workaround this bug, I’ve updated Insta Date Fixer 360 to extract date information from the filename for videos exported by Insta360 Studio as this is currently the only place where date information is recorded. To ensure dates are extracted correctly, please make sure that when you export your videos from Insta360 Studio that you keep the default naming (ex. VID_20230809_092329_00_002.mp4 or PRO_VID_20230809_092329_00_002.mp4).

Again, this does not affect users performing date recovery on video files exported from applications outside of Insta360 Studio 2023. I’m in the process of investigating whether there are other workarounds and am also trying to get in touch with Insta360 developers on a solution. Please stay tuned!
