You won't see the checkboxes if your selection includes a file that doesn't have this metadata. Try to select only mp4, wmv files to see if the checkboxes show up. I noticed that mkv and avi files don't show the checkboxes. – Amit Naidu – 2017-10-05T21:14:31.777

2In my window there is no checkboxes, but neither did "create a copy with all possible properties removed" work. No metadata was removed. – Rookie – 2014-06-15T11:16:10.737

Looks like the suggested duplicate has better working answer, but it still isnt what i wanted; it creates own title from the filename, but i want to keep my filename as title. – Rookie – 2014-06-15T11:26:54.913

1ffmpeg -i in.mov -map_metadata -1 -c:v copy -c:a copy out.mov works from the FFmpeg answer, but it creates own title. I need to remove the title completely, so it would display just the filename (not with the folder path). How could i do this? – Rookie – 2014-06-15T11:27:54.360
