Remove the recorded time and metadata from an MP4 or MOV file without re-encoding the video.
Audio & video Client-side In-place zeroing of mvhd times and udta payload
Tool preview
How to use it
- 01
Drop a video file.
- 02
The tool zeroes the movie-header timestamps and wipes the metadata box in place, so every chunk offset stays valid.
- 03
Download the cleaned file.
Limitations
- ! Only container metadata is wiped; GPS burned into the picture needs a re-encode.
- ! Unusual containers that store metadata elsewhere may keep some fields.
FAQ
Does the video quality change?
No. The audio and video tracks are copied byte for byte; only header bytes are overwritten with zeros.
Will the file still play everywhere?
Yes. The box layout and every chunk offset are unchanged, so players see the same structure.
Can I check what was removed first?
Yes, run the viewer tool on the same file before cleaning.
