Why remove MOV metadata?

QuickTime files often carry location, device, and edit-tool fingerprints. Cleaning removes them while preserving professional codecs.

Hide capture locations

Remove GPS and capture timestamps before sharing dailies or reels.

Remove camera and editor fingerprints

Strip device IDs and NLE notes that reveal your workflow or gear.

Share client cuts safely

Deliver MOV exports without embedded comments or chapter labels.

Secure MOV cleaning

We scrub QuickTime metadata while preserving codecs, timecode, and audio, then delete the temporary file after download.

Upload your MOV securely

Drop a MOV from camera or NLE. Uploads are encrypted and never stored after processing.

Remove MOV metadata

We clear GPS/location atoms, creation_time, device details, software/editor tags, and track titles/comments.

Preserve codecs and timecode

No re-encoding—ProRes, H.264/HEVC, frame rate, and timecode stay intact.

Download & purge

Get the cleaned MOV instantly; the temporary server copy is wiped immediately.

What MOV metadata do we remove?

We clear QuickTime metadata that can reveal location, device, or edit history while keeping the video identical.

  • GPS/location atoms and related EXIF/XMP fields
  • Camera make/model, serial numbers, lens details, and capture settings
  • creation_time, modification, and edit-history tags from NLEs
  • Software/application identifiers and user data blocks
  • Track titles, comments, and chapter markers stored as metadata
  • Orientation/rotation flags and display matrix entries
  • XMP/IPTC packets embedded in QuickTime atoms
  • Embedded thumbnails or reference previews

Frequently Asked Questions

Will cleaning affect ProRes quality?

No. We do metadata-only removal, leaving ProRes or other codecs untouched.

Can you remove GPS and device IDs?

Yes. GPS/location atoms and device fields (make, model, serials) are removed.

Do you keep timecode and audio in place?

Yes. Cleaning doesn’t change frame data, timecode tracks, or audio streams.

What about editor/software notes?

We clear software/application tags and user data added by NLEs or camera utilities.
