Video, Image & Audio Redaction Features

What Redactor redacts

Automatically detect heads, people, license plates, vehicles, IDs, screens, and documents. Draw a custom zone when you need something else. Built for file-based workflows, not live streams.

Video redaction

Track sensitive detail across frames and export clean copies ready for review.

Image redaction

Use the same detection and style controls on stills, screenshots, and image sets.

Audio redaction

Redact speech in video files or standalone audio with transcription-assisted review.

Audio transcription

Search spoken content faster and export SRT transcripts when you need a handoff copy.

How redaction works

Use automatic detection when speed matters. Switch to manual tools when precision matters. Most teams still review before export or release.

Smart Redaction (automatic)

Detect supported objects, track them through the timeline, and apply redaction before final review.

Cover the objects teams redact most often
Track targets across frames automatically
Apply mosaic, pixelate, blur, fill, and other styles at export
Keep reviewers focused on exceptions, not repetitive busywork

Custom Redaction (manual)

Draw the exact region when policy, edge cases, or unusual targets need a human decision.

Draw a zone and track it forward through the clip
Use rectangle or ellipse shapes for most styles
Match the redaction style to your release policy
Fix misses and refine results before export

What’s new in Redactor

v7.3.5

October 8, 2026

Fixes

API spec wasn't complete The spec server under _/apispec/(json|yaml)_ was lacking type descriptions for the new EDIT feature and parts for the speech transcript export.

v7.3.4

October 7, 2026

New Features

EDIT feature You can now request basic redaction via the EDIT feature. At this moment it's the addition of static boxes (staticTrack) and audio regions (addAudioRegions), see examples here.

Updates

Video list shows attached user The result of the videos::list route now shows if a session has currently a user attached (real, embedded, API) to it, see IVideoDescriptor.attached in sh-types.

v7.3.3

September 16, 2026

Bug Fixes

Embedded UI: shadow DOM isolation not thorough enough Keyboard events (mostly) of some elements in the Redactor UI still routed out of the mounting element. This resulted e.g. in problems with export time range selector or having cursor key presses do cause video seeking though being in a dialog and so on.

For API setup, embedded editor workflows, and AI-assisted integration, download the Redactor Agent Toolkit, explore the Redactor Developer Documentation, or view the Release Notes.
