Using Object Tracking in CaseGuard Studio

Steps to Use Object Tracking:

1. Add a Video File:
   • Begin by adding a video file to your CaseGuard Studio project.
2. Select Object Tracking:
   • On the left-hand side of your Workspace, click the “Object Tracking” button.
3. Configure Redaction Settings:
   • At the bottom left of your Workspace, select the shape, effect, and redaction reason for your object.
   • You can choose from over thirty redaction and enhancement effects available in CaseGuard Studio. For more details on enhancement effects, refer to our video, “How to Enhance Videos in 2 Easy Steps.”
4. Draw the Redaction Box:
   • With your shape and effect selected, draw a redaction box over the object you wish to redact.
   • Ensure the box is appropriately sized around the object with enough distinctive features for accurate tracking. Avoid making it too large or too small.
5. Adjust for Blurry Videos:
   • In cases where the video is blurry, you may need to update the box frame by frame until the system can accurately track the object.
6. Track Multiple Objects:
   • You can use Object Tracking on multiple objects simultaneously. The system may slow down the video to maintain tracking accuracy.
7. Handling Tracking Loss:
   • If tracking loses the object, the video player will pause to indicate where the loss occurred.
   • Move the redaction box to the object’s new location and resume tracking by hitting play.
8. Exporting the Video:
   • Upon export, your video will return to its original speed.
