About this tool
Explains the device, timezone, GPS and telemetry traces hidden in MP4 and QuickTime video containers, and scores the exposure.
The Video Metadata Risk Explainer shows what an MP4 or QuickTime video can reveal before you share it: capture time, GPS tags, device model, filename, editing app, embedded thumbnails, subtitles, voices, reflections and background location clues. The score changes by sharing channel because social apps often transcode video while email, shared drives and evidence uploads may keep the original file.

The tool covers both hidden tags and things that survive every export because they are in the frames or audio.
Export the top remaining risks and fixes as a short privacy checklist.
It removes many container tags, but it does not remove what is visible in frames or audible in the soundtrack. It may also preserve subtitles, chapters or thumbnails depending on the pipeline.
Yes. Phones, drones, dashcams and action cameras can write GPS coordinates or route telemetry into MP4, MOV or sidecar files. Strip location metadata before sharing when privacy matters.
No. It is a local reference model: you tick the signals you believe are present and the tool explains what could survive each sharing channel.
