Updated Video Editor adds automated detection, bulk editing and improved tracking tools to help organizations review and redact sensitive footage more efficiently.
Pimloc has announced a redesigned Video Editor within its Pimloc Redact platform. The update introduces new capabilities designed to help organizations review, edit, and manage redactions across sensitive video and audio footage more efficiently.
The redesigned Video Editor features a streamlined interface that reduces the number of steps required to review and edit recordings. Users can navigate footage more efficiently, make changes directly within the video, redact multiple objects simultaneously, and run additional automated detection without reprocessing entire files.
Simplifying Sensitive Video Review
Organizations across law enforcement, education, healthcare, and retail regularly handle video containing personally identifiable information (PII) that must be protected before footage can be shared. Although automated redaction reduces manual review requirements, teams still need to verify results, make adjustments, and identify additional information requiring protection.
These tasks can become particularly time-consuming when handling lengthy recordings or footage containing multiple people and sensitive objects.
“Redacting sensitive video often requires several rounds of review, particularly when footage contains multiple people or different types of personal information,”
said Simon Randall, CEO and Founder of Pimloc.
“We’ve redesigned the Video Editor to accelerate that process, giving teams more control over how they review and adjust redactions. They can now make changes directly within the footage, identify additional information without starting over and spend less time navigating complex recordings.”
Expanded Detection and Editing Capabilities
The redesigned Video Editor brings editing controls directly into the video player, allowing users to select an object and immediately redact or unredact it, update its label, or adjust its tracking.
A more flexible timeline simplifies navigation through lengthy recordings, while new filters help users locate specific objects and redactions without manually searching through footage.
Additional Automated Detection Without Reprocessing
A significant addition is the ability to run further automated detection on footage that has already been uploaded and processed. Users can select additional detection categories, such as screens or whole bodies, and process either an entire recording or a specific section without re-uploading the video, losing existing edits, or incurring additional processing costs.
For example, a police force preparing body-worn camera footage for disclosure may initially redact faces before identifying mobile phone or computer screens that also require protection.
Similarly, a school responding to a request for classroom footage may need to redact names displayed on a whiteboard. The updated Video Editor allows teams to identify and protect these additional objects within the existing project.
Key Video Editor Improvements
The redesigned platform introduces several additional capabilities:
- Bulk Redaction: Users can redact or unredact multiple detected objects simultaneously, including all identified faces, rather than making changes individually.
- Improved Object Tracking: Users can track objects forward or backward from any point in a recording. Tracking automatically stops when an object leaves the frame.
- Customizable Timeline and Filters: Users can zoom in and out of the timeline to view more footage at once and filter redactions by object type, status, or blur style.
- Integrated Audio and Transcription Tools: An expanded transcript interface allows users to search for and redact spoken information, while audio editing tools support precise muting of selected recording sections.
Extending Automated Privacy Protection
The updated Video Editor builds on Pimloc Redact’s existing automated redaction capabilities, which detect and redact personally identifiable information across video, audio, images, and documents.
Users retain control throughout the process, with tools to review, adjust, and approve redactions before sensitive material is shared.
Pimloc Redact supports organizations across law enforcement, education, healthcare, retail, and other sectors, helping them manage sensitive information while reducing the time and effort required for manual redaction.
