Export without metadata

I was ingesting around 1000 videos from a client through prelude and applied the wrong metadata preset to them. Now when opening premiere I have a couple dozen tags meant for an enitrely different workflow. Is there anyway to batch export the files without source metadata? I've been able to do it manually per file but for multiple clips, the metadata button is gone. I feel there is a better way to do this somewhere.

IF you select multiple files in Premiere and try to export, then yes, you get a dialogue without a Metadata button. If you then hit 'Queue', it will send them to Media Encoder. You can select all the files in Media Encoder, click in the 'Preset' column on on any clip and this will allow you to change the export options for all selected clips. The metadata button appears in here and you can disable the metadata. Does this work for you?

Thank you, I entirely forgot AME had that function.
