Solving Video and Audio Privacy Problems with Redaction Software

For a variety of reasons and in any number of different industries, video and audio footage are gathered and used for many different reasons. Whether you are working with law enforcement, a lawyer, or are simply using footage gathered on the ground for a news story or an advertisement, you are required to ensure the privacy of individuals and their personal information that may be used to identify a given individual. Not everything captured in a video or audio clip is relevant to what the material is being used for and people have privacy rights that must be adhered to. Every day countless amounts of information are gathered from private individuals without their notice or agreement. It could simply be a smartphone video that someone plans to use for a video blog post, or perhaps it is dashcam evidence in a criminal case. Regardless of what material is gathered and what it is intended to be used for, the onus is on the user to ensure that anyone who is not relevant to a video, case, etc.has their identity protected.
