   • Choose between “Standard,” “Reverse,” or “Full Frame” redaction as shown in the Preview box.

Advanced Options

• Audio Redaction:

• Video Type and Confidence Level:
  • Check options for 360 video, 4K, 8K, or Drone Footage.
  • Adjust confidence percentage (default 20%) to suit lighting conditions and reduce false positives.

  • Save settings as a template for similar videos with “Save as Template.”
