Hi

I am trying to remove all metadata : XMP,EXIF,FILE ...(a "white list" approach) to place my own metadata.
what is the command for it?

Thank you
P.H.

#1
-All= will remove all metadata except APP14 Adobe segment.  You can use --TAG to exclude tags or groups from the deletion.

See Documentation under the --Tag section.

See this thread for reason behind APP14 Adobe segment.

Edit: Fixed segment name and added thread link.
* 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).
