## What it is

An email, a key or a customer’s name in your recording? In Studio’s Redact tab, drag a box over it on the video and choose Blur, Pixelate or a solid Bar.

Each box has its own stretch on the Redact lane of the timeline, so it shows for exactly as long as you need. With Follow the zoom on, the box stays on the content when the camera zooms in.

## How to use it

1.  1
    
    Open the Redact tab
    
    In Studio’s editor, click Redact at the top of the inspector.

    Set how long it shows
    
    On the Redact lane, drag the box’s bar to move it, or drag an edge to make it shorter or longer.
    

## Tips

-   Find private info spots emails, phone numbers, card numbers, keys and IP addresses for you, and Hide all covers them.
-   Turn off Follow the zoom to keep a box in one place on the screen.

## Questions

Which style is safest?

Bar is a solid block, so nothing under it shows. Blur and Pixelate soften what’s under them.

Does the redaction go into the export?

Yes. The boxes are part of the edit, so every export has them.

    Float your recording on a wallpaper, a colour, your own image or a blur, then tilt it in 3D: it leans in as a zoom starts.
