Blur identifiers in Android phone footage
OEM camera apps differ in codec and stabilization metadata. Export with ‘high quality’ before upload so detectors see crisp characters.
Third-party gimbal apps sometimes crop dynamically—redact on the final export you publish, not the pre-stabilization intermediate.
