General metadata erasing

Hi!


I would like to know how to - in general - remove metadata from files in OSX. As a former Windows user, it was very quick and easy by right-clicking the file, info, delete info. However, I'm struggling to do this in OSX. Finder's info only shows it, without allowing you to edit the data. What I need to delete are creation dates, etc. Already found a program to help me erase photo's EXIF information, but other files such as videos (record date and time, etc) also record metadata which I really need to wipe.


Sometimes the easiest things seem so complicated with Mac 😟


Thanks for your help!
