Video to Text Synchronization? What Is That?

We use special software to synchronize the video to the final transcript, resulting in a new transcript that has a time stamp (sometimes called "time code") next to every page and line number. It will look like this: 01:23:10. Note that this is the run time of the video clip (1 hour, 23 minutes, 10 seconds), and not the clock time (1:23 p.m.).

These time codes can then be used by Case Management or Trial Presentation Software to link the clips to your transcript, to specific issues, etc. It can also be used to create new, smaller clips for presentation.

What if I Don't Have Case Management or Trial Presentation Software?

If you want to view a specific piece of testimony, use the time code to "fast forward" your video clip with a video player, such as Windows Media Player.

We also offer inData's DepoView ® player, a free viewer application that can be installed on your PC. Please note that we are not affiliated with inData and do not sell or offer technical support for the DepoView player.
