<p>You can use <a href="https://ffmpeg.org/download.html" rel="nofollow">ffmpeg</a>, a free command-line tool, like so</p>

<pre><code>ffmpeg -i input.mov -c copy -map 0 -dn output.mov
</code></pre>

<p>The <code>-c copy</code> sees that there's no re-encoding, the <code>-map 0</code> copies everything over but the <code>-dn</code> disables data tracks - the timecode being a data track.</p>

# Reset timecode in source footage to 00:00:00

(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-03-01)

I have an MOV footage clip supplied by a freelancer that starts timecode at 11:48:09.

It's a standalone clip that I don't need to retain that timecode for.

Would be very useful to reset it to 00:00:00.

Is there any way of doing this in any of the CC apps, FCPX or freeware utilities/apps?

You can do this upon export from Premiere.

Load up your clip, export timeline (use Cineform or Prores for lossless if you'll be re-inserting into another project), and click the "Set Start Timecode" checkbox.

You can use ffmpeg, a free command-line tool, like so
ffmpeg -i input.mov -c copy -map 0 -dn output.mov

The -c copy sees that there's no re-encoding, the -map 0 copies everything over but the -dn disables data tracks - the timecode being a data track.
