Synchronization of Video with Transcript

Since most attorneys have access to computers with CD or DVD drives, many skip the creation of the VHS tape and request that the deposition video is delivered on either CD or DVD format. These formats are much more convenient than VHS format as they do not require either a VCR or a TV to review. Additionally, CDs and DVDs are much more convenient to fast forward and rewind to find that particular section of the deposition. Many attorney's appreciate the time saved in reviewing depositions and preparing cases without the hassle of dealing with a video tape. Now it is possible to take the video deposition one step further by synchronizing it with the printed transcript from the court reporter. By synchronizing the video and the transcript, attorneys can have a searchable video and text file that can be used to find all sections of the deposition that contain any key words or phrases. The synched video and transcript is delivered on a computer CD and a free viewer is included on each CD. The viewer also includes the ability to create clips from the original deposition and save them to individual files. These clips can be used to create a summary of the important parts of the deposition and emailed to co-counsel, experts and others. Additionally, the clips can be imported into a Microsoft Powerpoint presentation.

Another advantage is the synchronized video and transcript file can be imported into a number of popular trial management software packages, such as Sanction II and Trial Director. These software packages provide a full suite of case management features. It has become increasingly difficult to digest and manage a large number of exhibits, depositions and other important case materials in complex legal cases. Many attorneys now employ new powerful case management software such as Sanction II from Verdict Systems. Now it is possible to use the our synchronized video and transcript file in your case management software package without any additional costs.
