YuJa (All Users) - Intermediate Editing: Remove Webcam Box from Video

This document describes how to remove a webcam box recorded within the video.
Recording a second video source, such as a webcam, is common and does not require re-recording your video. YuJa records separate tracks for each video source, audio, and captions. Follow these instructions to delete the unwanted video source.
A video with a black square or a webcam image can be removed.
