Conversion from XMP to Exif

Hello,

When converting from exif data to xmp, the output tends to still have exif data tags. Is there anyway to remove these tags? While the output file is a xmp, some of the tags remain exif.

Thanks,
Rishav

Probably best to show an example of the command you are using and an example of the output.

There is no EXIF data in XMP.  They are two completely separate specs.  There is some overlap between names (example: EXIF:DateTimeOriginal and XMP-Exif:DateTimeOriginal) and there is the Exif metadata for XMP standard which gives correlation between EXIF tags and their matchin XMP tags (usually in the XMP-exif or XMP-tiff groups), but the data is still XMP.

As Alan says, it would help if you list your command.  If you're copying to an XMP sidecar, then the data will be XMP.  If you're copying from one file to another, you might be running into FAQ #9.
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).
