How to Crop Exported Video for Privacy

Support for cropping exported video was added in ExacqVision Desktop Client 7.8. The following steps require Client 7.8 or higher.

If a video is exported that contains some relevant content but also contains content that should not be distributed due to privacy concerns, it is possible to crop the exported video to specific dimensions that will exclude non-relevant parts of the scene.

Steps:

1. Perform a search for the camera(s) and time range you wish to export.
2. Place the yellow timeline cursor at the beginning and end points of your desired exported time range. Use the Mark Start/Stop buttons on the timeline toolbar, or right-click on the timeline and select Mark Start/Stop.

3. Select the Crop button from the timeline toolbar, or right-click the timeline and select Enable Crop.

4. The image above the timeline will display a blue overlay. Click and drag to highlight only the region you wish to crop the export to. Only the blue-tinted region will be exported.
5. When you are satisfied with the region you’ve selected, click the Download and Export Video button from the timeline toolbar, or right-click the timeline and select Download and Export Video.
6. The dialog window that appears will allow you to enter a filename of your choice and select the exported file type.
