Blur and redact video

Magic redact allows you to blur and mute videos uploaded to notes and the option to redact sections on transcripts.

Redactions and blurring will also be applied to relevant highlights in your project and their references within insights across your workspace. However, they'll need to be updated to display their redacted versions.

Any manager or contributor in your workspace with Full access or Can edit permission to the project containing the data has the ability to redact or restore redacted data.

Users with edit access to the project can redact individual sections from videos within notes. This includes the ability to blur, mute all audio, and hide the text shown in the transcript.

• To redact a specific section of a video, highlight a section of text in the transcript and select Redact from the action menu

• From there, you can choose to redact video, audio, and transcript, or both from the redaction modal and press Redact.

You also have the ability to blur an entire video within a note from start to finish.

• To blur an entire video, click Actions (•••) in the top right corner of the video and select Blur video.

• If you wish to unblur an entire video, click Actions (•••) again and press Unblur video.

You can restore video data that has been blurred or muted and redacted text from within a transcript. Any user with Full access or Can edit permission to the project can restore redacted data.

To restore redacted data, navigate to the redacted section within the transcript and click on it. Then, press Edit redaction from within the action menu. From here, use the toggles to restore the redacted data.

Is blurring also applied to thumbnails of the video?

Yes! Thumbnails to the video across your workspace will also be blurred, however, this does not happen immediately, so we recommend waiting until it has been applied to all references before sharing.

Are subtitles also redacted?

Yes, subtitles will also be redacted, but you'll need to refresh your page for them to update.
