I don't think ExifTool will do what you want.

You say "clean out the data of videos", but ExifTool has only limited writing ability in video files (see the second paragraph here).

Oh ok! thanks for the reply Phil

To see what data is there:

1. open the Terminal app (from the /Applications/Utilites folder)

2. type "exiftool" then  press SPACE in the Terminal window

3. drag and drop the file onto the Terminal Window

4. press RETURN in the terminal window

To uninstall, follow the Mac uninstall instructions here.
