Comment 4 for bug 1804541

From https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=717468:

> If the files are being imported from a USB harddrive you can create a folder

> import them as if they were coming from a camera. Shotwell will now
> successfully save them into the library with the correct creation date/time.

I don't consider this to be a very viable workaround. The videos are on the camera memory card and so one would have to either copy them onto another USB drive with the suggested DCIM folder, or copy/move them from their native location on the camera filesystem to another location on the same filesystem. Either way, it's inconvenient, and not something that someone who regularly imports videos would want to suffer through more than a couple times.
