To reduce the time required to redact videos, use the face detection function to detect faces, then manually adjust the masks if required.

What you should know

The analytic process begins to search and detect faces whenever a new redaction process is started.
  • When the process is complete, a thumbnail image of each detected face is then displayed, these thumbnails can be used to select the individuals that should be redacted from the scene.
  • Masks are applied to all parts of the scene where a face is identified.

The processing time for auto face detection can vary depending on the video file size and will be affected by the resolution, length, frame rate, and other factors related to video. The success of the auto face detection can vary depending on the quality of the video and whether the subject is facing to the front or the side.

Performing video redaction (Auto Face Detection) on a mobile device is not supported.
