I have aded GPS info to my movies in Lightroom Classic. However, those files lose all GPS info when exported. I do not have this problem with photos.

 

Help! How can I export movies with GPS data? Thanks.

Here's the relevant feature request asking that LR write metadata to videos:

Please add your constructive opinion and be sure to click Vote and Follow in the upper-right corner. That will make it a little more likely that Adobe will consider implementing the feature and you'll be notified when they do.

Try posting your problem at the official Adobe feedback site, where  Adobe prefers to see such issues:

There's no way to do that with built-in features. LR has poor support for video and video metadata in particular.

 

You could use the Run Any command plugin to invoke the free Exiftool utility to copy the GPS coordinates from the catalog into the exported video. However, even if you're familiar with command-line scripting, the learning curve for Exiftool is steep, so expect a couple hours to get this working.
