How to change the date in media browser?

I had to take some extra steps to get this media into FCPX -- because of these extra steps, the date the footage was actually shot has been changed to the date (today) that I had to do some extra transcoding to the footage. I want to change files under 'June 3, 2016' to either 'May 26, 2016', 'May 27, 2016', etc.How do I manually change this date in media browser or move the files to their appropriate date? Please see screenshot. Thanks in advance. Cheers.

You were right with the first post -- I was trying to adjust the date for every clip under the date by simply selecting the date. I see now that I have to individually do it. Thank you for helping me out!


For multiple reasons, I do wish there was a way to link the footage with that of the original metadata (when the footage was actually shot). If anyone knows how to do this, I would be curious to hear.


Cheers.

It was a conversion -- I had to convert MTS files to .mov files in Quicktime to get them to load into FCP X (v. 10.2.3). You answered that question. I'll take extra steps to avoid this issue in the future.


My camera is a Sony A7R and the codec (wrapped AVCHD) is a bit frustrating when trying to organize your own raw files and working within FCP X.
