Hello, i appolgise if this is plainly obvious to everyone, and maybe it should be to me, but im struggling a little and things arnt sinking in at the minute so hopefully someone can help me

every time i drag and drop a file into exiftools, it dispalyas the info but as soon as i press a key the window closes

i will include a screenshot please could you view



also id like to remove the copyright tag in the screenshot completly or if possible replace it with more information. is this possible and how would i go about doing it?

infact a batch removal of all tags would be sufficient if that didnt work


please could someone help me, and once again sorry if this should have been easy

regards

To remove the copyright tag with a drag-and-drop, rename "exiftool(-k).exe" to "exiftool(-k -copyright=).exe".  Or if you want to set the copyright to something else, rename to "exiftool(-k -copyright='something else').exe", then drag and drop files onto it.

hi phil thanks so much for your reply, unfortunately i got an error saying mp4 files not supported is this correct?

ps thanks again for your prompt reply!

I suppose that if I was paying real close attention I would have noticed "Movie Data Size" in your screenshot.

But sorry, ExifTool doesn't yet write video files.
