The redaction of this track is slightly off, how do I fix it?

If the orange redaction box does not cover your individual properly in each frame of the track, you may need to adjust it.

  1. Make sure you’re in the right frame when the redaction box seems to go awry.

  2. Click on the corresponding orange box so it turns blue, and its start/end frames appear in the Entities Panel.

  3. Right-click on the corresponding orange box, and right-click through "Track" > "Trim track" > "End at current frame".

  4. Follow the same steps as in the ‘Add a new track’ section below.

  5. Repeat this process to make further readjustments. 

  1. Right-click in the correct frame and click ‘Add track’. If your Entities Panel already has an Individual Entity view open, the new track you’re about to create will be added to that entity. If not, it will be added to its own entity.

  2. A yellow box will appear. Reposition/resize the box to fit your requirements. 

  3. On the right will appear the start frame number (i.e. the current frame you are in), and a + sign next to the end frame.

    • Another yellow box has to be added to the desired end frame to form the start and end points of the track. 

  4. Skip forward to the desired end frame (i.e. where you want the track to end). 

  5. Right-click in the correct end frame and click ‘Add track end’ or, on the right, click the + sign next to the End frame section.

  6. Another yellow box will appear. Reposition/resize the box to fit your requirements. 

  7. You’ll see the start and end frame numbers in the individual track view on the right.

  8. Choose from the drop-down menu what type of track you’d like: 

    • Track face = track a face as they move in the video. 

    • Track object = track a number plate/object as they move in the video.

    • Zone = track a specific fixed area of the video screen. 

  9. Click ‘Start’ to begin the processing of the track. Whilst it is processing, it’ll appear in the ‘Processing’ tab and turn purple. Once it is purple, you cannot change the box’s position/size. 

  10. Once the track has been processed, it’ll turn orange. 

Add a new track

Adding a new track will mean that an object will be tracked for redaction from that particular frame onward until you choose when the redaction will end.
