The purpose of ClipDeidentifier is to take a ultrasound media in a traditional format (mp4, mov, avi, jpg, bmp, png...) and output a clip (mp4) or still (png) void of Protected Health Information (PHI). ClipDeidentifier is built as an Electron app written as a frontend for ffmpeg. In short, ClipDeidentifier crops the portion of the images containing the hard-coded PHI, and also strips metadata from the media, rendering it generally safe to distribute without exposing the patients' PHI.
