I understand the sensitivity and accuracy required for video evidence prepared for legal proceedings. This project needs careful, frame-by-frame attention to ensure full compliance with privacy requirements before submission to court. My Approach I will review the full 3-6 hours of CCTV footage in MP4 format and apply consistent blackout masking to all bystanders not relevant to the case, averaging 3-5 individuals per frame. Each frame will be checked carefully to confirm no identifiable individual is left unmasked, and the final export will maintain the original footage quality and timestamps for evidentiary integrity. Process Careful frame-by-frame review of all footage Consistent, accurate blackout masking throughout Quality check pass before final delivery Final export in original resolution, unaltered aside from required masking Budget of $250–750 CAD is reasonable for this scope given the volume of footage and precision required.

What's the courtroom's required format for chain-of-custody documentation — do they need a log of exactly which frames/timestamps were redacted, or just the final blurred file? For legal redaction work like this, precision and defensibility matter more than speed — I'd track bystanders frame-by-frame using motion tracking to keep the blackout boxes locked to each person as they move, rather than static boxes that risk slipping and exposing someone mid-clip. Given 3-6 hours of footage with multiple bystanders per frame, I'd flag early on roughly how many hours of tracking work this represents once I see a sample clip, since redaction accuracy for court use needs a careful, verifiable pass rather than a fast rough cut. I work daily in Premiere/After Effects with masking and tracking as part of my regular workflow. Can you send a short sample clip so I can gauge the bystander density and give you a realistic timeline?
