Auto Video Redaction Software for Windows

Video redaction software: blur faces and license plates offline

Auto Video Redaction Software is a Windows tool that finds and blurs faces and license plates in video automatically. Everything runs on your own computer, so body cam, dashcam and CCTV footage never leaves your network, and the result is ready for FOIA and GDPR disclosure.

How to use Auto Video Redaction Software

1. Drag your video files into the program window, or add them from the file menu.

2. Choose what to hide: heads, full bodies, license plates, or a region you draw.

3. Pick a hiding style - smooth blur, pixelation, or a solid black square.

4. Adjust detection confidence and scan frequency if the footage is difficult.

5. Optionally mark audio intervals to mute or replace with a beep tone.

6. Set the destination folder and start the batch. Redacted copies appear there.

Auto Video Redaction Software is free to try. The trial saves a shortened result: clips longer than three minutes are cut to the first three minutes, shorter ones are saved at half their length. Registering removes that limit.

Key features of Auto Video Redaction Software

• Face and head detection that handles profile views, tilted heads, helmets, hoods and covered faces.

• License plate detection trained on street, dashcam and CCTV footage, with a confidence slider.

• Three hiding styles: gaussian blur, pixelation, or black squares for sensitive material.

• Manual regions for anything the detector is not meant to find: a badge, a screen, a tattoo.

• Audio redaction by interval: silence a spoken name or address, or cover it with a beep.

• Batch processing in Auto Video Redaction Software uses all CPU cores, and no GPU is needed.

• Untouched picture quality: only covered regions are rewritten, the rest of the frame is left alone.

• Offline by design: no upload, no account, no cloud queue.

Auto Video Redaction Software FAQ

How can I redact a video?

Load the file, mark which objects to cover, pick a hiding style and run the job. Auto Video Redaction Software detects those objects on every scanned frame and writes a new copy with them permanently obscured; the original stays untouched.

How do I blur my license plate?

Enable plate detection in Auto Video Redaction Software and process the clip. Plates are covered across the whole video automatically. If a plate is small, distant or motion-blurred, lower the confidence threshold.

Is there a free redaction tool?

Online editors and phone apps can blur a face, but they upload your footage to someone else's server and work a clip at a time. Auto Video Redaction Software is paid, runs offline and processes whole folders unattended.

What is the best video redaction software for law enforcement?

The practical requirements are offline processing, permanent redaction instead of an overlay, audio muting and batch throughput. Auto Video Redaction Software covers all four on an ordinary Windows PC.
