Remove meta data from videos

Recommended Posts

I have some threads about removing metadata exif info from images with exiftool by Phil Harvey but if you try this on some .mp4 videos, you may find the details are still present.

In this case, if you have a DJI drone, I highly suggest checking the exifdata.  GPS and all sorts of other data is present and you may very well want to remove that from any content you upload.

Remove exiftool metadata:

ffmpeg -i in.mov -map_metadata -1 -c:v copy -c:a copy out.mov



Once this finished, run Exiftool again to confirm that sea of data, is now much smaller than it was previously.  For extra fun and confirmation, look for DJI_ images and have fun confirming GPS coordinates from those photos or videos to GPS coordinates on Google Maps.
