Frame Averaging
Frame averaging is the process used to eliminate the electronic noise in the video
It is the mathematical process which improves the quality of the video
Noise in video decreases with the increase in the square root of the number of frames
averaged
Stop Motion Pro is one of the tools used for frame averaging

Analysis of Output
Result of video forensics may be displayed in several forms
An analyst can submit the result in the form of a videotape, a video file such as MPEG, AVI, or digital
images
Analyst can submit the result either on a storage medium CD, network drive, etc. or a hard-copy print
Use particular video player to view the files
Check the files obtained during steganalysis
If the files are password protected, try to crack it
File extracted from steganalysis may be in an encrypted form, use some cryptanalysis tools such as ‘Crank’
to decrypt it
