Simplest way to remove exif data from a video?

I have to send a couple videos (.mov taken w iPhone) of my nanoleaf problems to them and I’d like to strip out the exif data. What are you preferred/simplest solutions for that? Any third party apps you 100% trust?

Thanks in advance!

actually, according to Phil Harvey exiftool cannot do this. He suggests ffmpeg

Gemini gave me this command for .mov

ffmpeg -i input.mov -map_metadata -1 -vcodec copy -acodec copy output.mov

Fair enough. However, I just used my “Strip EXIF” Automator Quick Action that uses Exiftool, – which I admittedly predominantly use all the time for just images – and it worked fine with a .mov taken on iPhone that I dragged out of Apple Photos.:man_shrugging:
