Using the Crop Video and Extract Audio Features in CaseGuard Studio

Cropping Video:

The crop video feature is ideal for focusing on specific scenes in far-away footage, such as CCTV, or isolating incidents in busy videos where redacting every individual would be time-consuming.

1. Add a File:
   • Begin by adding a file to CaseGuard Studio.
2. Select the Crop Tool:
   • Click the “Crop” icon from the Toolbar on the left side of your Workspace.
3. Define the Crop Area:
   • Select and adjust the area directly on the video to the desired size.
   • Alternatively, enter specific dimensions for height, width, x, and y coordinates.
4. Apply and Export:
   • Once you’ve set the desired crop area, click “Crop” and then “Export.”
   • A new cropped version of the file will be exported, ready for redactions.

Extracting Audio:

The “Extract Audio from Video” feature is useful for isolating audio for editing or overlaying it onto another video.

1. Select the Extract Audio Tool:
   • Click the “Extract Audio from Video” icon from the Toolbar on the left side of your Workspace.
2. Confirm Extraction:
   • A pop-up will appear to confirm your selection.
   • Note that extracting audio will not mute the video’s audio; it will create a separate audio file.
3. Export Audio:
   • Click confirm to add the task to the tasks list.
   • Click “Export” to begin the audio extraction process, which will automatically create a new file in the Project Files Panel.

Post-Processing:

• You can now apply redactions to this new audio file, burn captions onto it, transcribe, and translate it without involving the original video file.
