What I learned today is that when it comes to photos we have a lot of options for viewing and erasing metadata, but when it comes to video you are on your own more or less. For instance, GoPro does not include gps data. But iPhones and iPads do include geotagging.
There are a couple kinds of geotagging. There is the geotag for the file, a single location. And there is filmstream geotagging. The latter indicates the location as the film plays. You could think of it as a location video you could play alongside the visual content. If you are filming the alps from a train, you’re moving with each frame of video.
Video does not have as clearly defined metadata as the EXIF data agreed upon for photographs. But you can still remove the geolocation data from mov files taken with iPhone / iPad cameras. Either by moving the video to your Mac and using EXIFTool, or bu using an app that will modify the metadata for video as well as photos.
I am using the iOS app Metadata Pro and it works perfectly to remove location data from both photos and videos.
