Strip GPS and location atoms from phone or CapCut MP4s with Metadata Strip (stream-copy purge) so Shorts, TikTok, Reels, and Pinterest uploads do not carry capture location — without re-encoding picture or audio.
Updated
Tools in this guide
Mobile cameras and editing tools can embed location-related metadata in exported video. Metadata Strip removes those fields so cross-posts to Shorts, TikTok, Reels, or Pinterest do not carry capture location from the original device export.
Upload the owned MP4 to Metadata Strip, run the purge, download the cleaned file, then run Platform Readiness or a destination pack. Prefer this over uploading a phone gallery share that still carries EXIF-style location atoms.
Container purge does not fix 9:16, −11 LUFS, or length. If readiness fails canvas or loudness, open Fit to Aspect or a Shorts/Reels pack after (or instead of) the strip when those jobs dominate.
FAQ
No. Metadata Strip is a stream-copy purge (−map_metadata −1). Picture and audio samples stay bit-identical; only container tags such as location and device fields are cleared.
Use Video Export Cleaner when you also want a remux/re-encode with ≈ −14 LUFS and refreshed encoder tags. Use Metadata Strip alone when loudness and canvas are already correct and you only need location/device tags gone.
No. Stripping GPS does not bypass Content ID, grant music licenses, or change the audiovisual fingerprint platforms use for matching.
