Toolbar Options in CaseGuard Studio
The “Toolbar” in CaseGuard Studio provides you with five key options for managing audio files:
-
Audio Redaction:
- This is the default option when you add an audio file. It allows you to use manual audio redaction tools in depth, as covered in the “Manual Audio Redaction” video.
- When a redaction is applied, it shows the action and timestamp under “Description.”
- Use the “go to position” icon under “Operations” to navigate to one second before a specific redaction.
- Select “Preview without Effect” to listen to muted, bleeped, or voice-changed sections.
- The delete button removes redactions one by one, reflected on the audio wave.
-
Audio Effects:
- Allows you to adjust the volume, decreasing it down to 0.5 or increasing it up to 100.
- Add changes to the Task list and export them to apply volume adjustments.
-
Closed Captioning:
- Enables adding captions to your videos and audio files.
- Add timestamps using manual methods, write out captions, and save them for your chosen duration.
- Further details are available in the “How to: Translation and Closed Captioning” video.
-
Convert Audio to Video:
- Converts audio files into video format (.mp4).
- Once selected, the task appears on the “Tasks List” panel and applies upon export.
-
Noise Removal:
- Removes background noise from audio files.
- Adjust noise removal directly on the audio wave, selecting specific levels and time frames or applying it to the entire audio.
